Barristerconnect Reviews 

Do not use Barrister Connect if you are in need of legal advice.

I needed a couple of questions answered and found Barrister Connect online a company based in Taunton that offers legal advice paid for by the hour.

I paid £360 for an hour of advice with a barrister regarding a tenancy issue.

The first barrister they assigned- Majed Walker did not get back too me.

I was appointed another barrister Nick Wright who was less helpful in the sense that he was very and dismissive on the phone and told me nothing in the fifteen minutes that I didn’t know already, He sounded like he was in a hurry and said I should email him if I had any more questions. I had paid him
for an hour.

He suggested after fifteen minutes that I email him with any queries. I called him the next day and he was equally as abrupt telling my he 'was on holiday' that was a lie because he already told me he was too busy to attend a mediation with me that week as he was in court on that day.

I have never felt so disappointed and annoyed with a professional before. I desperately needed some questions answered and on both occasions was fobbed off by Nick Wright.

When I requested a refund of my payment of £360 from Barristers Connect they refused and were equally as dismissive,

All I can say is do not use Barristers Connect if you do not want to loose your money.

Stephanie Heijdra was brilliant, prompt and excellent service with short notice. Stephanie has represented my daughter on two separate occasions and we will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend

Simone Bowman was very thorough with details in the pre-hearing call, and during the hearing she flagged up matters which were vital (which I would not have been sharp-minded enough to see myself). I was grateful for her attentiveness, which saved the day in many ways, plus her ability to adapt during the hearing to each new situation with skill and support. Thank you so much.

I was drowning in a legal battle I didn’t understand, desperate for help but unsure where to turn. Then I found Clerksroom Direct Barristers and within no time, they connected me with Nadeem Aslem. The process was so straightforward, and little did I know, they’d introduced me to the person who’d change that.

Nadeem wasn’t just another Barrister. He was brilliant in court (calm, razor-sharp, and persuasive), but what truly stood out was his kindness. He listened when I felt invisible, explained things in a way that finally made sense, and fought for me like I was family. His integrity and warmth made all the difference during one of the hardest times of my life.

I’ll always be grateful to Clerksroom Direct Barristers making it so easy to find him and to Nadeem, for being the advocate I needed. If I ever have to step back into the legal world, I wouldn’t hesitate to go through them again.

Stephanie was great from the very beginning we met outside court. She made me feel at ease and confident before going into the courtroom. Definitely recommend!

Stephanie Heijdra provided representation for me during a dispute with my ex about child relocation. Although she was brought in late during the case, she managed to get me the outcome I wanted within 30 minutes (much better than I envisioned the hearing would go). She was calm, articulate and really knew all the relevant law on child relocation. I am extremely grateful to her for the successful outcome of my hearing and would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking an exceptional barrister. Thank you Stephanie.

Do not use this company , at least D Turpin wore a mask! The money you send will disappear and the arrogance of the man on the end of the phone is hilarious, avoid at all Costs!!!!

I engaged Balalh Khan for my Family Court matter, and I couldn’t be happier with the representation I received. From our very first call, I felt genuinely heard and supported. Balalh demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and approached my case with thoughtfulness and care, tailoring his approach to my case with care.

He was not only highly professional and articulate in court but also compassionate and reassuring throughout what was a very emotionally challenging time. Thanks to his expertise, we achieved a fair and favourable outcome.

I highly recommend Balalh Khan to anyone seeking skilled and empathetic representation in family law matters.

Review for Barrister Nadeem
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Barrister Nadeem is an exceptional legal advocate in the field of disability rights and medical negligence. His deep understanding of complex healthcare law, combined with his unwavering commitment to justice for vulnerable individuals, makes him a rare and invaluable ally in any legal journey.

From the moment we engaged with him, Nadeem demonstrated outstanding professionalism, clarity, and empathy. He took time to listen truly listen to the emotional, medical, and legal challenges our family faced, and responded with thoughtful, strategic guidance at every step. His attention to detail and ability to translate highly complex matters into clear, actionable advice was deeply reassuring.

What sets Nadeem apart is his humanity. He never lost sight of the fact that this was about a disabled child’s life and future, not just legal arguments. His calm strength, integrity, and fierce dedication brought us both comfort and confidence during one of the most difficult times we have ever faced.

I recommend Barrister Nadeem without hesitation to anyone seeking powerful, principled representation in disability or medical negligence matters. He is a credit to his profession and a lifeline to those who need real justice.

Where do I start, I needed a barrister for a final hearing who I could get without a Solictor, I managed to find 6, but 1 shone out, and it was Nadeem Aslam. Nothing and I mean nothing was too much. I can not put into words what Nadeem did for me. My first chat before I even agreed to represent me was 50mins and then my chat before my hearing was 3 hrs. Nadeem messaged me every day to check up on me before the hearing. I was unable to pay the full amount so Nadeem said just pay bits until 3 days before the hearing and I’ll still represent you. Going to court is hard enough but to find a barrister that not just they for the money but now I can call him my dear friend. The sad part is I didn’t get the result I wanted but that was my fault due to my evidence and Nadeem already warned me before we went into court this will happen. His experience and kindness was priceless. Afterwards he messaged me see if I was ok and also has offered to help me go back to court and get the result I want but not on my own this time. My mum n dad was they he also reassured them that everything was going be ok and explained everything for us.
I can not thank Nadeem enough and I have already recommended him to my friend who needs him for a 3 day trail.please if you need a barrister I mean this don’t look anywhere else apart from Nadeem Aslam, u r not on your own and he will be they every step of the way with you.

The support of Rory Nunn, Head of Direct Access Clerksroom Direct, and of Barrister Raoul Downey, over several years, and of Ian Skeate, recently at short notice, has been indispensable to me, as a Litigant in Person, in making a protracted Professional Negligence Claim which is still extant.

"I am incredibly grateful to Nick Wright for his exceptional support throughout my case.
His dedication and hard work went above and beyond my expectations. Nick's expertise
and commitment were clear from the start, I couldn't have asked for a better
barrister. He went out of his way to ensure the best outcome for me, l'm truly
thankful for everything he did. highly recommend him for anyone in need of legal
support."

I am unbelievably grateful to Sam Morgan at clerks room. He was so supportive and helpful during a particularly stressful time where I found myself without counsel. He offers at top service and replies to your questions promptly and professionally. Thank you Sam !!!

I was looking for months for the solution of a negligence claim and only when I was adviced by Mr Nadeem found the correct definition and solution

Excellent advice

I had the privilege of working with Mr Ian Skeate on my Appeal case with the NMC, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and dedication.
From start to finish, he provided exceptional legal support, demonstrating deep knowledge, strategic thinking, and unwavering commitment to my case. His professionalism, clarity, and ability to navigate complex legal matters were truly impressive.

Thanks to his hard work, we achieved a successful outcome at the NMC appeal and my career as a Nurse was saved.

I would highly recommend Ian Skeate to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable barrister.

Nadeem Aslam was a superb barrister .
He was knowledgeable , thoughtful , calming and offered great advice and is incredibly friendly .
I achieved a great result with a child under 2 which is tricky as many involved in family court will know .
Whilst I can't reveal details of what happened it's fair to say I had a lot going for and against me and yet with Nadeems guidance and legal advice I now have my daughter overnights and more .
I can't thank him enough .
If youre involved in family court then you won't go wrong hiring Nadeem Aslam .

I am incredibly grateful for the professionalism, expertise, and compassion shown throughout my case. Barrister Nadeem Aslam provided clear guidance, strong representation, and unwavering support during a challenging time. Their knowledge and dedication made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a skilled and understanding family barrister.

Majek Walker is a very Experienced and Knowledgeable Barrister he is a very warm and caring person he is aware that you are in a stressful situation and he has the ability to support you and ease the environment of the surrounding ie a Court and being faced by a Judge which brings its own stresses. Thoroughly Recommend Majek Walker as a Lawyer and as a Person to Support You.

I will always reach out to him as and when needed. You would not be disappointed!! He amazing.

I’m writing to share my extremely disappointing experience with direct access barristers, in the hope of cautioning others who may be considering this route for legal representation.

Over the past three years, I engaged three different barristers for tenants' eviction proceedings, each time investing significant sums of money, only to be met with frustration, poor service, and unprofessional conduct.

Unjustified Cancellation: The first barrister took over £2,000 for a one-day trial. However, the hearing was cancelled by the Court just days before, leaving me with no recourse for a refund despite the fact that no conference or skeleton argument had been prepared. This was a frustrating and costly experience.

Inadequate Preparation: The second barrister, for whom I paid over £2,500, did not hold our conference until 11:00 PM the night before the trial. The meeting lasted only 15 minutes, and despite this late preparation, the barrister came to court unprepared, without a skeleton argument, and appeared disengaged and unprofessional throughout the proceedings.

Unethical Demands: The third barrister, who I paid over £2,500 upfront, called me just an hour before the trial demanding an additional £900 to represent me. Despite explaining that I didn’t have immediate access to my banking details, the barrister insisted that I pay before he would attend. This left me in a difficult position, forcing me to call my son to make the payment. He arrived at court unprepared, and I was left having to write the questions myself.

In my experience, direct access barristers seem more focused on quick, easy money than on providing the quality of service that clients deserve. The lack of professionalism, unexpected fee demands, and poor preparation are concerning, and I would strongly advise potential clients to think twice before going down this route.
