John has done an excellent job of redrafting my contracts for me, taking into account all the varying business models that I use and providing a comprehensive and elegant solution

Highly recommend John

I first met John 10 years ago and used him for all aspects of Employment law. Recently he saved my Business in excess of £20,000 when a roof caved in on a building we were renting. John renegotiated our lease terms to gain a result way ahead of my expectations. Recently I used John regarding a criminal matter where it became very clear that he was an expert in this field John resolved the matter in my favour extremely quickly and professionally. I have always recommended all friend and colleagues to John and will continue to do so.

Incredible knowledge

John is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and an expert in his field. He is also very astute at reading and understanding people and is able to convey complex messages in a way that is straight and practical. I would recommend him without hesitation

Awesome

John won (what I thought) was an unwinnable case for me. He is like a fire and forget missile! He doesn’t take prisoners and I would hate to be on the other side! A veritable pit bull. He even got his own fees back! Awesome.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Witan Solicitors to resolve a dispute I had with HSBC bank regarding fraudulent transactions on my account.

From the very beginning, Qarrar demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to my case. His expertise in handling financial disputes, especially fraudulent transactions, was evident, which immediately put me at ease.

Most importantly, Qarrar’s strategic approach and attention to detail played a crucial role in helping me beat the dispute with HSBC bank. His thorough analysis of the evidence, combined with his sound legal advice, were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.

I highly recommend Witan Solicitors, particularly Qarrar, to anyone seeking legal assistance. Their team’s professionalism, efficiency, and expertise are unmatched. Without a doubt, I am deeply satisfied with the outcome of my case, and I owe it all to Qarrar and the Witan Solicitors team.
