Outstanding support and expertise

I had the pleasure of working with Taswar annd Beau and I can confidently say that their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication exceeded all expectations. From our first meeting, they were approachable, transparent, and thorough—taking the time to explain every step of the legal process in clear, understandable terms.

What truly stood out was their attention to detail and proactive approach. They were always one step ahead, anticipating potential issues and offering practical, effective solutions. Communication was excellent throughout—I never felt out of the loop and always felt like a priority. Taswar’s honesty really helped me to understand everything.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines legal excellence with genuine client care, I highly recommend Taswar. He’s a credit to his profession and someone I would trust again in a heartbeat.

Probate Family Drama

I hope you never need to use her services in such emotional circumstances 😔. But if you do I can highly recommend her! I found Alana following the death of my mother, my family members some of whom were executors of the will decided to start making decisions about my inheritance that were not in my interest. Alana coming from a similar background to myself understood immediately what was happening and offered to be my advocate in the issues regarding my mom's estate. She could have milked this situation completely but has not and maintained a high level of professionalism whilst hearing my point of view. I'm glad to say that since she has been involved my stress level are minimal and I know the situation is in order. If you want a fair assessment of your situation and an upfront appraisal of what's involved from someone who definitely knows what they're doing. Give Alana a call 🤙. 10 out of 10 from me.

What can I say?

In what has been the most traumatic and stressful few years, the silver lining was I had Taswar and his family law team on my side.

The knowledge and advice were second to none. They advised and communicated with me throughout the process.

Taswar and his team are the most professional team I have come across, and I could not recommend them any higher.

Special mention for the paralegal team, especially Beau Dean. Her service and knowledge were of the highest quality ...

A client

If you are seeking a solicitor who genuinely listens, advocates for your best interests, and provides competent legal representation, then stay far away from Taswar Hayat.

I approached him at a time when I was in an extremely vulnerable state, seeking legal support regarding my emotionally abusive and controlling ex-partner. My primary concern was the well-being of my children, and I trusted him to provide guidance on how to protect them. Instead of offering legal solutions, he completely dismissed my concerns, telling me to "just get over it" because my case was "too difficult."

Looking back, I now realise how he took advantage of my vulnerable state. His incompetence in court only inflamed tensions rather than working towards resolution. His approach lacked any tactical foresight or real advocacy, making an already distressing situation even worse. Instead of protecting my rights and my children's well-being, his negligence prolonged conflict, wasted time, and escalated animosity unnecessarily.

A solicitor in family law should be compassionate, strategic, and dedicated to their client’s best interests. Taswar Hayat displayed none of these qualities. His lack of empathy, dismissive attitude, and poor representation have had lasting consequences.

If you need a solicitor who actually fights for you, do yourself a favour and find someone else. This man is a disgrace to his profession.

I’m not sure where to begin, after finding myself in a difficult situation of needing advice on where to start with my personal matter; Blackham’s reassured me from my first phone call and I knew they were the going to support me through out my entire case. They were assertive, their knowledge was next to none and the outcome of my case was proof of the effort and compassion that went into it. Thank you to Taswar and the team, I’m beyond grateful for everything you did for me and my children.
