“I always found him well-prepared, courteous, and professional. His oral submissions were excellent. Overall, I found his representation of his clients to have been far superior to that of many duly qualified lawyers.
Most significantly, I can honestly state that I never heard a single negative comment passed against him by a former client-something quite noteworthy, in that , in my experience, refugee claimants have a tendency to place the blame on former counsel when their claims are refused.
As for Mr. Rahman’s personal qualities, I have always found him to be honest, intelligent, well-read, determined, pragmatic and empathic.”
Pia Zambelli, Former member of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, lawyer and author.

“Having a good counsel is important in every hearing because the claimant feels comfortable and a good counsel is able to prepare the claimant for a focused hearing. He or she is also able t provide relevant documentary evidence , and make submissions at the conclusion of the hearing that emphasize the key aspects of the case, as well as cite the pertinent case law.
I found that you always did your job with diligence and fairness, and made the claimants feel comfortable. You were also honest and did not give them false hopes, and you assisted them in presenting their cases forthrightly.”
Mohammed Azhar Ali Khan (Order of Ontario). Former member of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada
