Iqbal was instructed by NH who claimed that she had a beneficial interest of her home, which was in the name of her ex-husband. NH was not legally married in English law but was married under Islamic Law (a Nikkah) only. As this was not recognised in English law, NH pursued a claim in property law based on an oral agreement between her and her husband prior to marriage. This case lasted 2 years and the trial was 5 days. As with all clients, when direct access was no longer suitable, Iqbal worked with NH to instruct a solicitor to assist her due to the scale of the case (trial bundle was over 3,000 pages).

Approximate Fees: £20,000 - £30,000

Client Feedback:

“I instructed Mr Mohammed through direct access for what was an incredibly complex and emotionally distressing matter. From the outset, his professionalism, diligence and strategic insight were exceptional. He uncovered significant evidence of fraudulent conduct by the other side, including exposing a sham tenancy agreement and proving that I was not, in fact, a tenant, a pivotal point in the case. His ability to deconstruct the false claims and present the truth with clarity and confidence was remarkable.

What truly set him apart was his dedication. He went above and beyond, always making himself available to speak when I had concerns, without ever charging for those discussions. His calm and reassuring manner gave me confidence throughout. I felt heard, supported and exceptionally well-represented.

I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a barrister with integrity, intellect and a tireless work ethic.”
