What my clients say
“I was hesitant to go to a direct barrister again after being burned. But the best money I ever spent is hiring Aryan, he is direct, tells it how it is but it yet calming and assuring. He has gone above and beyond in my case. If I had friends who needed a family barrister I’d instantly recommend Aryan.”
