Quartz Barristers Avis 

Please research fully before you hand these fraudsters any money, as you won’t get it back.
Catherine Hewitt is a fraud in herself. If you pay her briefing fee and expect she will represent you in court, you will be disappointed. She will ditch you last minute. She also arrives looking very scruffy which is embarrassing.
The scam seems to be getting customers brief fee’s then quitting abruptly and refusing to refund the money.
I will never go near this chamber again, and have reported to the legal ombudsman and BSB. They have also been posted online in wall of shame groups. Shameful work scamming vulnerable people. They need closing as a business.

Mr Dalal was a wonderful advocate, but more importantly a charming and thoughtful guide through a difficult process.

Our time seemed too brief! We were entirely inexperienced with legal proceedings on this occasion, but if we were ever involved in another legal dispute, the silver lining would be working with Mr Dalal again.

5 Star Service — Highly Recommended!

Amar Alyas provided incredible legal representation in my family court matter. His guidance and expertise were second to none and got me the result I fought so hard for. Communication with James was great from start to finish—always quick to respond and keep me informed. Should I ever require legal representation again, I will not hesitate to instruct Amar in the future. Thank you both for your hard work!

I really enjoyed working with Richard. He is very passionate and cares about his clients. He is honest and took time to explain the process to me. I felt supported through my matter and appreciated his professionalism. I would recommend him to anyone looking forward to legal representation.

I recently required urgent, high-level expertise under severe time constraints, and Dirk Van Heck and Senior Clerk James Petts handled my matter with absolute professionalism.

From my very first enquiry, James ensured the onboarding, secure file exchange, and payment processes were completely seamless and efficient, eliminating any potential administrative delays. Dirk’s response was incredibly swift, providing sharp, masterclass legal insight exactly when it was most critical.

When time is of the essence, you need an agile, elite team that operates with total precision. Dirk and James delivered exactly that. I cannot recommend their exceptionally professional services highly enough.

Khairie was exceptional during my court hearing. He presented my case brilliantly and went above and beyond with the expert advice. Due to his dedication we got best possible outcome for me and my family. I truely can’t thank him enough.

I can’t thank Khairie Gedal enough for the support and representation he gave me. From the very beginning he took the time to explain everything properly and made sure I understood what was happening at every stage, which really helped ease a lot of my stress.

Every hearing I’ve attended has made me really nervous, but this was the only one where I genuinely felt at ease. He has a very calm presence about him which made a huge difference. I actually had another hearing afterwards and found myself wishing he had been there too, as the way he handles things really helped settle my nerves.

He was professional, dedicated and clearly very knowledgeable, but what stood out the most was how much he genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for my case rather than just treating it like another job.

He truly went above and beyond for me and achieved the best possible result, something I honestly thought would be impossible before the hearing. I felt fully supported having him represent me and I’m extremely grateful for everything he did.

I’ve already asked if it would be possible for him to represent me again in future hearings, as I wouldn’t hesitate to have him again.

I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a barrister who is not only very skilled, but also genuinely committed to helping his clients.

This review reflects my personal feelings and experience only. I was not the client, but I was directly involved as the main subject of the proceedings, and the outcome affected me significantly.
From my perspective, the process was extremely stressful and disappointing. I felt unsupported during a critical stage and was unhappy with the level of communication and guidance provided.
This is an expression of my honest personal opinion and not a statement of fact about any individual. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this service.

Mr K failed to attend the scheduled court hearing and provided no adequate notice, explanation, or contingency arrangements. This failure directly compromised my position and exposed me to unnecessary risk. Such conduct represents a clear departure from the professional standards expected of a barrister.

John Hudson was outstanding. So calm and compassionate. His legal knowledge was unbelievable. I had my amazing outcome, due to his professionalism and preparation. Would highly recommend to represent you during your divorce proceedings. Myself and my two boys cannot thank you enough!

John Hudson and James Pett provided an amazing level of service. Unlike those ive used before that open the page the night before, John prepped my case for over a week making sure he had the same knowlege of the matter that i have. Too often i watched Barristers fail because they didnt, and couldnt possibly have that knowlege by reading 2 yrs of files the night before. John is highly recommend.

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am to have been represented by Khairie. From the instant I met him, his calm demeanour helped to steady me in what has been a gruelling process. His outstanding professionalism, attention to detail and dynamic, confident delivery in court was second to none. More importantly, his compassion and humanity was truly validating and allowed me to rest assured knowing that the welfare of my children was in very safe hands and that he was sincerely driven to achieve the best outcome. I would consider myself very fortunate if our paths were to cross again in the future.

I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Alex Khan for his professionalism, expertise, and calm strategic approach throughout my recent financial remedy proceedings.

He handled a complex case involving an alleged typographical error with precision, clarity, and strong advocacy. His written submissions were thorough and persuasive, and his courtroom presentation was both confident and respectful.

Thanks to Dr. Khan’s meticulous preparation and sound judgment, the matter was resolved successfully in my favour, with costs awarded. I highly recommend Dr. Khan and Quartz Barristers for their outstanding professionalism and dedication.

Very knowledgeable and professional. They quickly understood the issues and skilfully put the matter before the judge to obtain the right result. Would highly recommend Stephen Hines and the rest of the team at Quartz.

Thanks to John Hudson, James Petts and all the team at Quartz for the help provided in my case.

The professionalism and compassion was above and beyond all expectations.

My case was family however I would thoroughly recommend anyone who is in need of legal assistance to get Quartz Barristers involved right from the start. They cut to the chase and give you the professional assistance needed to get the job done.

Faster, ultimately less expensive and importantly a world less stressful.

Thank you all again.

proceedings. They both went above and beyond in supporting and guiding me through such a difficult process. I can’t thank them enough. I also wanted to thank James who was always on hand through the process to ensure everything ran smoothly.
The date is from my final hearing.

I would highly recommend using this firm, I had Khairie Gedal representing me and I can honestly say, after a year of experiencing multiple solicitors and barristers, Mr Gedal is the best by far. Mr Gedal was able to put me at ease with his professionalism and level of expertise, he is confident and polite in how he delivers himself and he was able to achieve the impossible in making what I would normally deem an unbearable situation, bearable. I will recommend Mr Gedal to all I meet in the future and I am grateful for his service today.

Absolutely fantastic service! The clerk I spoke to called James was excellent, he was very prompt with things and very polite/helpful with everything. The barrister who represented me Mr Gedal was very professional and provided us with a fabulous service. He gave wonderful representation, was very friendly and presented himself very well. Couldn't be more happy! Would highly recommend them anyone. 5 star service all round ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Many thanks for everything

This is my second time working with John Hudson and the experience has again exceeded all my expectations. I instructed John Hudson for a financial remedies hearing during a very stressful time. John made the process far more manageable and bearable by providing clear, structured and actionable guidance to keep me focused and ensuring I didn’t get side-tracked by past grievances. I'm grateful for John's calm and reassuring presence which helped me to stay composed and confident throughout the hearing.

My thanks to John's clerk, James Petts at Quartz Chambers for his professionalism, efficiency, smooth communication and the all-important competitive pricing. Thanks to John’s expert knowledge, strategic thinking and meticulous attention to detail, I received a successful result at court. If you are in any doubt: John is worth every penny of your investment. I will always be thankful our paths crossed and cannot recommend John highly enough to anyone facing similar legal challenges.

Absolutely shocking and disgusting service. I contacted them through my solicitor who arranged that they would give written legal advice and arrange a conference to discuss where my solicitor would attend. I paid the solicitor 150 pounds to attend this online meeting. Then I received the written legal advice but no meeting having paid the solicitor 150 to attend! They then denied any such meeting was arranged which is contradicted by emails. Worse yet the very expensive legal advice they did provide was total nonsense. Fortunately even I as a lay person could see this and ignored their advice and went ahead with my case with a proper firm of barristers and won overwhelmingly. Please avoid these clowns if you want honesty and good legal advice.
