I can see why he could upset ppl in the law profession and some with all the social media nonsense but why should he care. He’s a proper grafter who’s made his success happen. He knows his market and how to get the work in and he obviously knows his stuff to back it up Good on him

[@Tim_1988]

Went to school with Akhmed and grew up in the same area. Hes a great guy was hilarious at school i remember loads of funny stories. Great to see how successful hes become and how well hes doing. Especially coming from the school we went it was awful. Keep up the good work Akhmed nuff respect bro. Tim

[@brandonsoal-bo5fl]

Bro if I needed a lawyer I’d go straight to this guy he’s got an amazing track record

"I've got nothing against the police" James... "same....not now!" 😅😂

[@stuartstein7495]

You should try to get former lawyer James Macintyre who has just authored a book, Jimmy Two Guns. He was my lawyer once upon a time and in one of my cases, the first time video evidence was used in a court of law in Scotland. He got slashed in his office and represented the McGoverns. He is/was a script writer for River City and more. I haven't read his book yet.

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

Wow, definitely would love to see that podcast.

[@laurensmith2157]

Remember legal advice given in this podcast is correct for England and Wales. Scottish law may vary. If you find yourself in legal trouble in Scotland please consult a lawyer who specialises in Scottish law.

[@kylebulldog2115]

LOVED THIS !!!!!

[@osamanadeem9498]

Some podcast James 👏🏽

[@jeffweaseldinky1463]

I respect the guys hustle but people need to view his success ratio in court in regards to receiving guilty verdicts vs not guilty verdicts. Then they need to see how many of his clients he recommends go guilty for a reduced sentence without going to court, in other words an easy payday for his firm. He gets more losses than wins. This is what most solicitors do not tell you, not just this guy! He has done very well and I like him but when In need of legal advice DO NOT just pick the law practice with the most followers on TikTok. That is not smart.

[@Mr_DATA828]

Maybe Akhmed took on the more difficult serious cases and the odds for winning was lower to start with, even if he was Perry Mason it wouldn't have made a difference

[@Galaxy-jy5jh]

Like he says he is there to advise you on the disclosure the cps has.. if you get caught carrying a weapon all he can do is try get the lesser sentance. That would count as a loss.. no lawyer will have more wins than losses the wins they have will be reasonable doubt or the client never did it.

[@user-yp2di3df6l]

funnily enough a barrister i had, knew my fathers side of the family and was a top barrister treated me with respect etc the court wanted to do me for GBH with intent but the barrister said they might drop it to wounding but ABH at the moment is the charge, the barrister kept it at ABH (i had a incident with 2 men they came out worse). as a reoffender, I educate people on criminal law and if i had an opportunity to become a solicitor or barrister i would grip the chance with both hands and stay on the right side of the law, i had a good upbringing my father was a grafter business man, my mother the disciplinarian, was a broken home due to alcohol, father working so much.. more i wont say on here, i thin i got the rebellious side from my father that ended up with offending, not drugs, theft, sex offences, driving none of that just fighting. if i had those opportunities i would grip it. as ive been through the courts and avoided prison 3 - 5 times, solicitor deals with magistrates court, barrister deals with crown courts due to the severity, 'a more qualified person(s) is able to deal with that court(s)'. the newest offence i've been commited of, the solicitor joked you can do that in scotland now as they have different law system, i thought 🤨😏, the english police officer said they're weird up in scotland and im a welsh man having to go to a english city to be questioned of an offense i committed there, no comment interview all recorded on my phone with my address and full name so police cant medit the audio to fk me over worse, i said to the police officer before the interview i want to talk to a duty solicitor 1st, i got what i wanted. when evidence is against you, best thing to do is say NOTHING, they ask you questions about details so they can learn things from your own mindset to be 1 step ahead of the game, give them nothing. people know when youre a suspect is when you talk too much, a clear sign of anxiety/ nervousness to the point where you fear the out come and you off load everything (allowing enotions to over power your judgement), no comment is not telling the truth nor lying its saying you dont want to talk

There is nothing controversial about this guy! he just says it like it is! that's how we Pakistanis are brought up, he made his mark, and he literally made it. Kudos to this man for making it on his own and his own shoulders! its bloody hard to set up a business on his own. As for his previous Boss the Pakistani guy, it was just pure jealousy that made him critize him all the time. I first heard of him when I saw him on this other channel so had to search him up, love him, and his honesty, hes bloody great! I am currently doing a Paralegal course and just like him I wanna make it big one day!

[@Loveulema]

Not really good that this guy helps criminals get away with their crimes. If I was a victim of crime and this guy was defending the criminal then imagine how I would feel if the criminal got away from justice. Only a matter of time before it catches up to him or his family and roles are reversed.

[@user-yj8vx2uu9v]

This is the law of this country. Everyone arrested for a crime has the right to a defence. Agreed its not nice defending criminals but its the law and a legal right.

A long time ago I got a call from a mate in prison and he wanted to put someone on the phone to me. The guy who he put on I never knew at the time but he went on to say "I was at your house the night before I got done". He was in for a robbery where a have-a-go hero was shot dead during the robbery in Bonnyrigg. I slammed the phone down. I had no prior knowledge at all that the robbery was to take place but they could have tried to make something of it. I think it was his first time in prison and it was the first time he was brought in on a robbery.
