Karim Oualnan handled a contractual case to a successful resolution.

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Karim and his team. I had been banging my head against a brick wall after my bank forced the closure of my accounts and froze a substantial amount of my cash assets. Karim quickly reviewed all of the documentation relating to the matter and issued a letter before claim and formal notification of the intention to commence legal proceedings against the bank.

Karim was super helpful. The scheduled phone call was on time. All my questions were answered and after a few sleepless nights, my mind was put at ease. I have now decided to avoid a potentially costly court case thanks to Karim’s help and knowledge. Just making the decision to not pursue things any further after sound advice has made me feel so much better. Hopefully I’ve learnt a valuable lesson. Thank you again.
