TESTIMONIAL
“Looking at life in prison, Yaqub was everything I needed in the Terror Liquid Plot. An inspiration who is savagely loyal to his clients. In court he is possibly the most professional and well mannered person I have seen and this respectful approach is seen in every aspect of his dealings and demands respect from everyone he meets. If you need someone in your corner that will fight for you the best they can then Yaqub is top of the pack. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.”
