Testimonials

I felt I wanted to take the time voluntarily to put something in writing with you about Khurram as my experience with him has been nothing but a pleasant one.

Khurram has a fantastic and empathetic manner and I found him incredibly easy to deal with. Apart from his very obvious knowledge and professionalism which was excellent, he made what could have been a very stressful situation feel so much better.

His reassurance and expertise was outstanding. I am very selective about who I may choose to take the time out to provide such commentary on, but Khurram really stood it to me as someone that highly deserved a recommendation.

I would highly recommend him and your business to anyone.

Thank you very much for a very positive client experience.

Recently I have seen Khurram as my solicitor at BPS Law.

Over many years I have seen only a few solicitors but by far, for quality and reputation has been Betesh, latterly BPS. I had previously dealt with, rather successfully, Graham Bonser, whom I know you’ll appreciate how long ago that was. However, whenever I felt that any friend of mine needed a top quality solicitor, then I always recommended yourselves with equal success. In fact, a very good friend is still seeing his solicitor at BPS.

I recently had a very distressing situation at the company I worked for. Suffice to say that over quite a few months, I improved enough to consult a solicitor, whom I chose as BPS.

I met with Khurram and immediately knew that I was in capable hands. He advised me on the legal position. Moving on a few months, I engaged Khurram to deal with my settlement offer which he did and is very close to a successful closure.

My reason for writing is that at all times, Khurram was extremely professional and guided me throughout the process and explained every step in terms that was very easy to understand and I followed his advice because he was able to engage with me and also has the depth of legal knowledge that I have come to expect from, what I consider the foremost legal professionals in and around the North West of England.

I shall, of course, be writing to Khurram at the end of the process but I felt compelled to write to you because, once again, in dire need of top legal advice, BPS Law has not let me down.

I cannot praise Khurram highly enough because lesser solicitors would not have achieved what Khurram has and without a doubt, on any future occasion that I need a solicitor, BPS Law will be my only choice.

As I said, I will be writing to Khurram at the conclusion but in the meantime, please pass on my heartfelt thanks for his professionalism in this matter.
