Hackney-based law firm serving the community for over 125 years, providing specialist legal advice across a range of disciplines.
I approached Parveen Akhtar’s firm for legal advice and support for my housing situation just days before my County Court appeal deadline. Despite the extremely limited time, Parveen accepted my case. She was honest, professional, and exceptionally supportive. She carefully analysed my case and provided substantial guidance when others had declined to assist due to the urgency.
Parveen provided me with an initial advice letter and a comprehensive 14‑page advice document, ensuring I had clear, thorough direction for my housing situation. Her dedication and willingness to take on my case at such short notice gave me confidence and reassurance at a very stressful time.
I am deeply grateful to Parveen Akhtar for her commitment, expertise, and compassion in handling my case when no one else was willing to give me the time of day. Thank you ever so much.

I recently contact Dowse & Co who acted on my behalf regarding family issues. Throughout the meetings the solicitor was clear in her communication, gave me a professional advice, things that I wasn't aware off which he informed me off and the advice was great and matter resolved in a fair and better way. I was very happy and pleased with the outcome. I can highly recommend!

I honestly don’t have enough words to thank Ophelia Debrah from Dowse & Co for everything she has done for me. When I was going through one of the hardest times in my life with social services, Ophelia stood by me every step of the way. She believed in me when I felt like no one else did and fought so hard to make sure my voice was heard.
Because of her dedication, kindness, and determination, I was able to get my daughter back into my care — something I will always be grateful for. Ophelia went above and beyond, not just as a solicitor but as someone who truly cared about me and my family. She treated me with respect, compassion, and patience through every challenge.
Thank you, Ophelia, from the bottom of my heart. You helped me rebuild my life and my family. I’ll never forget what you’ve done for us, and I’d recommend you to anyone who needs a strong, caring, and dedicated solicitor by their side.

Parveen Akhtar of Dowse & Co assisted and advised me in my defence against Section 21 proceedings. She was very knowledgeable and experienced, as well as considerate and very professional throughout the process.
Ms Akhtar's invaluable assistance with scripting my defence and witness statements was nothing if not inspired. Thus it was not surprising that the other side discontinued the proceedings. In a word, we achieved the desired outcome.
Additionally, I visited Dowse's chambers several times over the period and I found the staff I encountered courteous and accommodating. I would recommend this firm.

My family and I had a very good experience, especially with John Nilsen which was very helpful when dealing with our case. He was always able to answer our questions and communicated with us also outside usual working hours which provided us with viable information at the earliest convenience.
Overall our experience was very professional and I would recommend it.
