“I wish to thank you for your help and assistance in the recent judgement case. You were very knowledgeable on the process… We certainly would recommend you to others in our position and although we hope to not be in this position again, should we ever need to, we would want you to act for us.”
“I particularly liked Yousaf’s impressive knowledge, his deep dive into the background of each case, his detailed analysis of the evidence and relevant case law…. It is clear that his handling with both cases steered the Claimant’s towards throwing in the towel.”
