How Ramzan works with clients

Many of the people Ramzan assists are navigating legal systems that are new to them, often at a stressful time. His work in migration and family law, including as a duty lawyer in family violence intervention order matters, informs how he approaches first conversations: listening carefully, explaining the process clearly and being candid about what can and cannot be achieved.

Ramzan speaks English, Urdu, Hindi, Dari and Farsi.
