ABAL® Firms Where You Need Us

I was recommended Aina Khan Law for my divorce in January 2024, and from the outset, I knew I was in capable hands. At such a pivotal moment in my life, I needed the patience, understanding, and expertise of a legal team that could guide me through this difficult process, especially for the sake of my children. With such a fantastic team, including Maryam Sohail, I felt fully supported to move forward.

Testimonial #1 Designation

The solicitor, Cagla, assigned to my case was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She gave me good legal advice and tips. I am very pleased with their service. If I ever needed further legal advice, I would definitely go back to them.

Testimonial #2 Designation

Aina Khan Law was recommended by a friend and I was pleased with the firm’s handling of my matrimonial matter. From the initial call with Imran through to the advice given by Aina and her team, the all around service was professional and diligent.

Testimonial #3 Designation
