    “I would like to reiterate how impressed our instructing officers were with Ms Wahid’s representation on behalf of the council in previous committal proceedings relating to the injunction order. Her professionalism, timely advice, and robust dealing with the legal advisor for the Defendant was most appreciated, especially given the last-minute submissions regarding capacity by the Defendant.” Instructing Solicitor 

    “Kinza assisted BBC in achieving a great result at the recent homeless appeal. She faced some tough questions from the opposing barrister and the judge, but she remained calm, collected, and eloquently put the Council’s position forward. We look forward to working with Kinza again in the future.” Instructing Solicitor

    “Kinza kindly volunteered to defend me at a hearing less than 24 hours before it took place. After a full day in court, she spent her evening preparing for my case. Kinza is clearly very passionate about her job and has a heart of gold. She was prompt, well-prepared, and incredibly supportive. She was well known by the Judge and a fellow solicitor there who both spoke very highly of her. Kinza is highly professional, educated, and stayed humble throughout. I can’t recommend her enough!” Lay Client
