What Our Clients say…
“Dear Aina, Your knowledge and advice has certainly given me a good understanding of what happens next, what options are there for me and my children and what to expect moving forward with the divorce proceedings.
I also wanted to thank you for making me feel very comfortable and at ease with your warm comforting nature and caring presence. This has almost certainly given me confidence moving forward with the divorce process.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and Imran for your time, patience and kindness. This has hugely been appreciated.”
AH (applicant in a divorce)
“This is not my first time using the services of Aina Khan Law Solicitors. After first instructing Aina Khan Law to do deal with my divorce matter, I was so impressed, happy and extremely satisfied with the result that I wanted Aina Khan Lal to also deal with my children matter and help me get more contact with the children. Before instructing Aina Khan Law to deal with the children’s matter, I already had a solicitor who was working on my case for the last 3 years [with no progress]. After instructing Aina Khan Law, my case was finalised giving me all the contact that I wanted at the very next hearing. I was extremely relieved and happy as soon as I changed legal teams, and I was always kept up to date and in the loop of what was going on. I was very proud of how professional, human and hardworking my team at Aina Khan Law were, and with their help, I have been given the chance to rebuild and have a better relationship with my children. I recommend Aina Khan Law to anyone who needs support in ALL family matters. Once again, thank you to everyone at Aina Khan Law!”

She has worked around me and my work schedule and would always get back to me as soon as she could with advice.

HK – wife in an English and Islamic divorce case
“Thank you for understanding what I have been through. I didn’t have to validate my experience….you understood everything. I am very pleased with the support and advice you have provided me during my difficult and painful children arrangements. If [XX] decides to go to court, I will definitely be turning to you to represent me to finalise the children’s matter.”
FO – Mother in complex children dispute
“You helped me with my divorce some ten years ago. I’ve never looked back! Best thing I did. My kids agree. You helped me navigate it, and your strength of character has stayed with me as an inspiration.”
Husband in a divorce and finance settlement
“A big thank you to all at Aina Khan Law for all your amazing work and listening to me, showing love and empathy, supporting me, being my backbone – my solicitors, even my therapist and friends (even those who have not spoken to me but I know are working hard on my case!). Without you all the last week I believe I may have had a breakdown, you have given me the strength to fight and carry on. I have every faith in what you are doing for me and faith in God that we are going to get through this. Excuse the soppy email but I want you all to know how much I appreciate everything. Happy Saturday everyone and A BIG BIG THANK YOU.”
SB (mother in complex Children and Finance dispute)
“I found Aina Khan whilst searching for an expert who would stop my husband from taking all our family assets after our long marriage ended. She quickly assured me and obtained a worldwide Freezing Order, so our 7 properties in the UK and three other countries were secured. This was a huge relief as I had invested heavily in the family business. As most of the assets were abroad, controlled by my husband, I would have been left homeless and penniless. It was such a relief to have Aina take away all the strain and worry and be so kind throughout.”
FK – Wife in an International Divorce and Financial claim
“My divorce had multiple complexities and it was looking to be a very difficult case, causing a lot of stress and becoming a distraction to my job. I contacted Aina Khan whom I had heard good things about. She and her law firm were quick in their action and response. Always available to answer any concerns I had. They took the case and dealt with it in a highly professional manner so I can carry on with my job as a doctor. Aina and her team worked hard to get the best result for me and they were supportive throughout the process.”
MH – Husband in a divorce and finance settlement
“I sincerely pray for you to go from strength to strength. Your amazing quality to add your own personal warmth to handle your cases is a gift from Allah that you share with your client and this quality alone sets you apart from the rest. You are a shining example and a perfect role model not only the Muslim women but overall for all-female species.”
Halim Akhtar
“Thank you so much for all your efforts on behalf of my daughter with her divorce settlement. I can’t tell you what a relief it’s been for her and all the family. She can now move on with her life. Getting a divorce from the courts and agreeing on an equitable settlement is such a difficult and distressing process. You often feel like you’re in a maze at a time when you’re most vulnerable. After a horrendous experience with another solicitor’s firm, once we transferred to your firm the matter was dealt with efficiently and smoothly. We can’t thank you and your team enough for such an excellent and professional job!”
KK (Mother) Highly Contested Divorce and Finance
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am personally for you every time you become more and more successful. You won’t remember, but * years ago you helped me get my divorce from a very abusive ex. That one step enabled both my daughter and I to turn our lives around. I remarried a wonderful man, had further children and worked hard to become a very respected *. My success story has a lot to do with you facilitating a ghastly divorce process and helping me start a peaceful life. All this I owe to you helping me. Thank you Aina”.
NC (Wife in highly contested Divorce and Children dispute)
“Aina introduced me to a family-friendly app. It’s a fuss-free way to plan and coordinate my son’s diary online with his dad. This has removed the stress of sending messages to my ex-husband, my ex-husband pretending messages haven’t been received etc. We can now both start enjoying our time with our son without all the drama. Thank you for adding peace to our lives Aina!”
SS (Wife in a highly contested Private Children Proceedings)
“When my wife abducted our children to the Middle East while I was living in the Far East – and issued a divorce in England claiming our house – other lawyers would not take on such a case! There were 9 countries involved and no one knew if the English divorce had a legal basis. You protected me from months of legal battles on this point. You flew out to the Middle East to negotiate a settlement via your local lawyers, oversaw the Islamic divorce and children arrangements, and filed a Consent Order in the English court for the Finances. The children came back of their own free will to live in my house in England and I am on good terms with my ex-wife. I can never thank you enough!”
JK (Husband in an International Divorce, Financial Claim and Children dispute)
“My husband thought he could dismiss me with nothing after our divorce. My first lawyer said he was beyond the reach of the English court as all our assets were abroad. You confidently and quickly traced his hidden assets, got me a fair share of the multi-million family properties and business I had helped build up over many years, and ensured that he attended hearings in this country. You even got an order so he paid my legal costs! I was treated with respect for the first time in years and turned my life around. You are an angel!”
FH (Wife in an International Divorce and Financial claim)
“I was so worried about how my divorce would affect my business and finances. Your expert and calm advice right at the start helped me to negotiate a fair divorce settlement with my wife, avoiding a court battle. I was reassured to know you could get my legal fees paid by a loan which I would not have to repay till I had my financial settlement. I would recommend you highly to anyone.”
RR (Husband in a Divorce and Finance Settlement concerning family businesses)
“Thank you so much for all your hard work. I cannot express how much all your efforts and input means to me. I have cried in front of you and you have been so kind. When I first transferred my case from other lawyers, after spending so much and getting nowhere, you immediately turned the case around! Because of you, I am now meeting my son again after 2 years and astonishingly we have rekindled our bond very quickly. I am now a man and father again. My family are also meeting my son. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!”
FF (Father who successfully has time with his son, after a highly contested children case)
“No one could have understood my case like you. Thank you sincerely for everything you’ve done. Everyone you put me in touch with has been amazing including Nabila, your Divorce Coach. I really don’t think I would be standing without you and them.“
MA (Father who successfully has time with his children after over 1 year of not seeing them, in a challenging Parental Alienation case)
“It is amazing that you were able to advise on my complex Surrogacy case while I was working abroad – we have never met, yet I felt at ease from the beginning. *** was born safe and well and armed with your Expert Opinion, there were no immigration issues.”
CC (Mother in a foreign Surrogacy)

Vahid Bicak, owner of leading Turkey law firm
“We have been working with Aina and her team to help with family mediation for their clients. Aina is extremely talented, professional and knowledgeable in all areas of family law – but especially complicated and international cases. Aina pioneers a paper-free, remote work environment, which links in perfectly with our own methods. I can highly recommend Aina and her team.”
Ali Carter, Mediate UK
“Aina Khan, (OBE), a leading solicitor and expert in Islamic law and family matters gave an excellent presentation to undergraduate students who study Islamic Law at Coventry University. Aina is a dynamic and inspirational speaker. She shared her experiences and challenges in the legal profession. In her presentation, she also discussed some of the leading cases in relation to Muslim marriages and she briefed students about her campaign for registering marriages in the UK. I would strongly recommend her as a motivational speaker and solicitor with more than 30 years of experience of working as a legal expert and international consultant.”
Ayesha Shahid, law professor at Coventry University
“Aina is an excellent presenter. She makes her work accessible to those who are not experts in the field, and is willing to engage in conceptual and theoretical arguments.”
Mairead Enright, law professor at University of Kent
“Aina Khan OBE gave an effective and interesting talk on “Islamic marriages in the UK and Register Our Marriage (ROM)” at the Family Law Update Webinar organised by AstenJ Professional Training on 24 March 2021 on Zoom. Her presentation that was without reading the notes was well received by the audience that seemed very satisfied. She also participated in the panel discussion at the end and it was fascinating to watch Aina and Michael Horowitz QC talking in great professional detail on the impact of religious practice in the legal system. Best wishes to her ROM [Register Our Marriage] law reform campaign which raises awareness that couples are not legally protected in unregistered religious marriages and encourages couples to legally register such marriages.”
Wasantha Tennakoon, Principal at AstenJ Professional Training
