“Yasmin represented me on the 18th and 19th May. I found Mrs Chawdhery after she was recommended to me by a solicitor then she represented me on a two day contested family law hearing in Oldham before a District Judge. The first day when I went to court I was very nervous. I am from Pakistan and I have never been to court before. When I saw Mrs Chawdhery she made me more comfortable by taking so much interest in my case. She worked so hard that I honestly could not believe it. At one stage, I was thinking that it was not even my case – it was like it was her own life and her own case, that is how devoted she was and her commitment towards the case is something I cannot even explain in words. Apart from a top barrister, I found her to be a great human being because she seemed genuinely concerned about the outcome of my case. She was also able to speak to me fluently in Urdu as well as English.
The final hearing is something which I will never forget in my life. At the last minute Mrs Chawdhery got the whole bundle from the solicitor which was not fair on her but she still prepared the whole case in an amazing manner. She even worked throughout the weekend and sacrificed her family life. I could not believe that one person could be so committed to their profession. Her grip on the case was so solid, so remarkable, that in court she simply ruined all the arguments of the opponent barrister. The judge had no choice but to accept Mrs Chawdhery’s submissions and I was able to finally see my daughter whom I have not been able to see for a whole year. My whole case was a great success because of Mrs Chawdhery.
Whatever Mrs Chawdhery says she will do, she will do. She does not make false promises and she tells you realistically about the outcome of your case. By having all these qualities, she is not only a top barrister but a great human being.”

“The afternoon before my family law contested hearing my solicitor hit me with the bombshell that my barrister could not attend the hearing. It was a complex finding of fact hearing and I was devastated. I cried and cried as I did not want to change my barrister at the last minute. However, my barrister assured me that her colleague Yasmin Chawdhery was available and that she was amazing. Yasmin called me out of office hours that evening, I know this because I could hear her baby in the background. She was so dedicated from the get go. She stayed on the phone with me for over an hour explaining the whole case to me. I was really nervous but she really reassured me. She said that she would stay up very late that night and study my whole case and I know that she did because when I met her the next morning an hour before the court hearing I asked her a few questions and she knew exactly what I was talking about and new the background of my case inside and out. Within an hour of meeting her I was absolutely convinced that she was the barrister for me as she was so empathetic and in tune with my thoughts about the situation. She said that she believed me and that meant everything and more.
In the court room I was pleasantly surprised at how well she portrayed my entire case to the judge. We won every single finding even though it was a complex case. She is small but fierce and she fights for you. I wish I had employed her in the first place. If I ever need a barrister for this situation again Yasmin will be the person I call first.
I have and will continue to recommend her happily as she was been absolutely amazing in the way she has conducted herself especially where client care is concerned. She did not just represent me that day and disappear. She met me afterwards too and her main motivation was to make sure that I was happy with what she had achieved for me. She is a true professional and it has been an absolute privilege to have her act on my behalf.”
Mrs Ali UK Family Law Finding of Fact Hearing – Child Custody Case
“I just wanted to say a few words about Yasmin Chawdhery who represented me in my family law case against my husband in relation to a Non-Molestation Order, a Child Arrangements Order and a Prohibited Steps Order. The case was relating to my ex seeing our three year old daughter and having contact with her. The solicitor who initially represented me advised me to put forward an offer of supervised access at a contact centre. Although I agreed to this I was not happy with my ex to have any contact with my daughter at the time as he had threatened suicide and I feared for my daughter’s safety while he was in that state of mind.
We went back to Court on this matter and this is the first time I met Yasmin. She was aware of my fears with regards to my daughter’s safety and was so supportive and understanding. I felt that she totally understood my fears and treated me not as a client but as a person and a mother who was just trying to protect her child. Yasmin asked me if I really wanted my ex to have contact with my daughter when he was in this state of mind and I told her I did not but felt pressurised into agreeing to it by the solicitor.
When in Court Yasmin suggested to the Judge that my husband’s mental health needed to be firstly be assessed before he had any contact with my daughter. Her submissions were so convincing that the judge agreed with her. If Yasmin had not been representing me that day I never would have achieved the outcome I wanted. I was just so pleased and relieved.
Yasmin is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I hope that she is there to represent me again the next time I have to go to court.”

“I cannot thank Yasmin Chawdhery enough due to all the work she did for my son’s Education Law Court hearing in London. My son is autistic. I am so happy with the outcome of the court case; the Judge specifically referred to the position statement that Yasmin wrote for the court case in which she outlined all the recent cases and all pointed out all the support the Local Authority needed to provide for us. The Judge specifically said the Local Authority needed to change their wording after he read Yasmin’s position statement. Once the Local Authority read Yasmin’s position statement they agreed to everything she asked for. They did not even try to argue. That is how powerful the position statement was that Yasmin wrote for our case. She has a skill that not many have.
Yasmin also represented me in my Family Law Non-Molestation case against my ex-husband. After seeing Yasmin’s position statement in that case, the judge in that case also agreed with the majority of the points Yasmin raised and agreed to look into my ex’s past and asked him to undertake drug tests.
Yasmin prepared me for every single step of the court case and told me about so many relevant cases that related to my situation. She outlined all of my expectations and gave me a realistic view of how the case would go. She did not simply gloss over things but she took her time and answered each and every question, even the ones I thought were silly to ask her. She was always on stand by ready to reassure me, even after hearings.
I truly appreciate all the time and effort she put into both my cases"

“I would just like to say that no words can express how much I appreciate and value Yasmin’s determination and hard work ethic in the approach that she has taken to help and guide me in my court case against my ex husband. During my first pregnancy I have endured a mix of emotions from crying to feeling depressed. Yasmin guided me like God has sent a Guardian Angel by my side. She worked day and night trying to complete application forms to statements so that we can achieve success in our case. She made me aware of all the legalities in the case and explained everything. This indicates how seriously she takes her work.
She is an exceptional person and I would recommend her a zillion times over to anyone that needed legal advice or wanted to appoint a barrister to fight and deal with any case of theirs. She constantly reassured me yet she never gave me false hope and she is straight to the point which I love about her approach. In my case she even pointed out the small details which makes an overall difference to the whole case. When I first spoke to Yasmin I knew from that point onwards that I wanted her by my side no matter what because her determination really blew me away.
When Yasmin wrote the position statement for the court hearing it was just exceptional as she pin pointed all the abused I had endured. I was gob smacked when the judge immediately granted me the Order I needed. I could not believe he would grant it so quickly. This is a testament to Yasmin and her work. It all goes to show that she knows exactly what she is doing and her every move is so effective.”

"Ms. Chawdhery represented me at an immigration hearing in Bradford UK on the 17th December.
I first met Yasmin whilst she was finishing up on another case in court. I plucked up the courage to go and approach her as I was representing myself that day and I had NO experience with the law. Yasmin immediately took a great interest and had a look at my preparation and she suggested that I asked the judge for an adjournment. I did this and the adjournment was granted.
Yasmin was better than the promise she made. She took over my case and was a huge support to us. She prepared our case in a great way. She would be working on our case at night and would often contact me in the evening asking questions, clarifying and organising statements which gave us so much confidence in her abilities.
On the day of the court hearing, Yasmin won our case. She did an absolutely amazing job for us. Yasmin has reinstated my confidence in the legal profession and restored my faith in our legal system. I would recommend her without hesitation.”
