I had an excellent experience with Arooj Ahmed from Whiterose Blackmans Solocitors. Throughout the process, they provided clear advice and showed genuine care for my situation. Communication was prompt, and they ensured I understood every step. Their support made a challenging time much easier. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking a reliable family solicitor.

Excellent Service Provided Last Minute

5

I had left instructing a Solicitor last minute with only 4 days notice before the Hearing. Arooj wasn't fazed by the short notice. She was professional and friendly explaining the whole process and what to expect. I wouldn't hesitate to use Arooj again, she is a credit to the firm.

Attempted and defence

When I was charged I decided not to use the first solicitors I was given as duty solicitors when I was arrested. I looked at the reviews online and chose Whiterose Blackman Solicitors. I was treated more as a person compared to the previous solicitors firm and Arooj helped me and provided me with an experienced barrister to represent me in Crown Court. She was accessible throughout and was always professional.

Arooj was very professional and immediately made me feel at ease during this stressful time, she talked me through the process and explained everything in detail if I didn't understand anything. I would not hesitate to have Arooj on my side if I ever needed professional help again.

Awesome experience, I was so tense initially. They calmed me down. Took me through the process and I found her already waiting for me at the court...loads of confidence from my solicitor. No hidden costs as well.

Arooj: An Exceptional Solicitor with Kindness and Expertise

5

I had the pleasure of working with Arooj as my solicitor, and I must say, it was an incredibly positive experience. Arooj exemplifies professionalism coupled with genuine kindness and approachability. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable discussing my legal matters, knowing she would provide non-judgmental support and guidance.

Arooj's expertise in her field shines through in the quality of advice she offers. She listened attentively to my concerns, provided clear explanations, and offered practical solutions tailored to my situation. Her depth of knowledge instilled confidence in me throughout the process.

What truly sets Arooj apart is her empathetic approach. She not only understood the legal complexities of my case but also showed genuine care for my well-being. This combination of legal proficiency and compassion made a significant difference for me, as I navigated through challenging legal issues.

I am grateful for Arooj's assistance, which not only helped me resolve my legal matters but also provided me with peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal advice and representation. Arooj is not just a solicitor; she is a beacon of professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support.

I had an exceptional experience with my solicitor. Her expertise, attention to detail, and prompt communication made the legal process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her services for anyone seeking reliable legal assistance.
I was quite anxious before the trial but Arooj made sure i knew what I was supposed to do and she prepared me well. Can’t thank and recommend her enough.

Arooj Ahmed was my solicitor looking after my case and from when she met me outside court I was made to feel she had everything under control. I was expecting the book thrown at me but Arooj had it all under control and I was let off lightly after my stupid mistake.
I will be using the same firm later for immigration as I have full trust in whiterose blackman llc
Again thank you Arooj.
