Nighat Sahi

Partner

Nighat has been superb, very thorough and a very nice person too, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I am confident that I am safe in her hands.

Some advice to everyone out there is make sure that you have Nighat Sahi of RSW Law on your contact list, so you have someone to contact immediately if you need help. In over 30 years of running Interface Financial Planning I have never had to suffer a malicious court action before and I made the initial mistake of trying to deal with it myself. If I had passed this to Nighat on the day of receipt it would have saved a lot of stress and time.
