“Milad Shojaei an amazing barrister who I would highly recommend. He won our very complicated case, and I couldn’t have done it without him.” – (Lay client)
“It's been a tough year for me, and my family and we have had a lot of stress and financial struggles due to a tenant not paying rent and refusing to leave our property when given the antiquate notice. I attended a cost hearing today which I had accrued a lot of legal expenses through trying to repossess my property from the tenant. I had Milad Shojaei represent me as Counsel. I would therefore like to post what fantastic representation Milad gave me on this matter, and we were 100% successful in gaining full costs returned. I strongly recommend him if you require Counsel in the future.” – (Lay client)
“Mr Shojaei reassured me to speak my truth and readvised me of my options. I was overcome by emotions quite easily and Mr Shojaei was professional in extracting the important and relevant information from what I was saying. He displayed patience with me and understanding and also the tenacity to encourage me to try to prove my innocence, rather than allow me to give up and assume I had lost before the outcome. My case was dismissed, and I wanted to thank Mr Shojaei for his service and support. Without his support, I believe the outcome may have been different.” – (Lay client)
