Again another hearing, and he did set my expectation, but I still wanted to go for it - He was right...and I learnt from it...nevertheless least it didn't cost me a bomb to find out like a solicitor would have charged and they would've just string you a long....Ibrahim can predict outcomes ...so lesson learnt. So I do highly recommend him

Genuine Customer Support and Professionalism
I contacted McKenzie McKenzie to be supported through quite a messy Child Arrangement case and was allocated to Ibrahim Sheikh. From the first call he talked about how he could support me and the process of court. From start to finish which was 2024 into 2025 there was continual care and contact, support and encouragement. All documentation and court bundles were put together in time and submitted on the dates requested. In court Ibrahim was fully respected by the judge, very professional and very knowledgeable about the process, each stage of court and how we needed to navigate through it. The end result was a great success and without Ibrahim it could have been very different story. I am very sad to read the negative reviews left as this wasn't the guy I dealt with. I hope my review gives you the confidence to contact Ibrahim to help you like he did me.

Don't use Ibrahim Sheikh…
Why has no one from the legal ombudsman investigated this charlatan Ibrahim Sheikh - he has apparently become a member of the CILEX institute of Paralegals - and seems above board - on his clearly self crafted website -but has taken £900 in September from a friend who is Thai - she is vulnerable and English is not her first language, and done absolutely nothing for it. I have tried to contact him regarding an invoice for any work done and the return of the outstanding money and got quite a mouthful off a very angry Ibrahim. I am now proceeding to the legal ombudsman to see what can be done - DO NOT USE THIS MAN

Avoid this man at all costs- do not engage
Avoid this man and company at all costs. He is a criminal in my view and exploitative and manipulative - my experience is that he has done nothing except make me feel more vulnerable and added to trauma and discrimination.

I am reposting my warning about this…
I am reposting my warning about this man which has been echoed by others. This is a WARNING. THIS MAN IS A CRIMINAL.
Stay away from Ibrahim Sheikh, this man is a scam artist. I paid him over £1000 and he never delivered the court documents and got all the court dates wrong. He told me he was busy with other cases and I was was forced court on my own with the incorrect documents he provided. The judge was appalled at his work. I felt so stupid. Ibrahim Sheikh absolutely refused to refund the money I paid for a shoddy non professional service. I’d have been better off doing it myself with no legal knowledge whatsoever. DO NOT ENGAGE THIS MAN.

Brilliant service
Brilliant service.
Ibrahim was very professional,knowledgeable and helpful with a kind and caring manner generally. I appreciate the help he gave and would recommend him without hesitation.
Will be contacting him in the future if required.
After a long drawn out difficult situation ibrahim showed empathy and compassion which I am extremely grateful for.
The service received was worth every penny and no unexpected costs were incurred, unlike my previous experience with other legal professionals.

Having read Nkechi Albrow's review on…
Having read Nkechi Albrow's review on 05/08/24 and Elishia Meade's review of 02/08/24, both accurately reconfirm other negative reviews warning innocent vulnerable people of Ibrahim Sheikh's exploitation. His engagement document also claims his LPC certification is 'pending'. I have spoken to the SRA and been advised such qualifications are never left pending, your either are qualified or not and this joker is definitely unqualified. Walk away, use a genuine lawyer. The business addresses he provides vary on documentation and his web site - all have been contacted and they know nothing of this scammer.
He even claimed to help some big named cases, why would a high-net-worth person use a comedian instead of a qualified lawyer.
On his own web site and the fake positive reviews on Trust Pilot have clearly been crafted by Ibrahim Sheikh himself apparent from the language, the depth the reviews go into and the specific details such as dates they quote.
Other organizations such as The McKenzie Friends Directory have forced Ibrahim Sheikh to remove any association with them from his web site. Ibrahim Sheikh is not regulated and nothing but a grifter. He Has google legal knowledge and is completely uneducated. Walk away and do not give this man a single penny!
Everyone should report this con man to Trading Standards and inform their banks from where money paid to this rip off merhant.
DO NOT USE/ENGAGE THIS MAN.

Stay far away from Ibrahim Sheikh!
Stay as far away from Mr Ibrahim Sheikh as you can!
I will follow this post with a detailed account of my horrendous experience, but I am dealing with my case alone having paid Ibrahim Sheikh £900 and it is an incredibly stressful time.
He has refunded £450, but kept the other £450 for just 5 cases studies that he provided. A Barrister which I spoke to subsequently, confirmed, which I already knew, I could have got them for free!
He also made a catalogue of errors including filling out the wrong forms, not fully completing them and submitted them late. He scans and puts everything in PDF which meant I had to type out everything all over again.
I requested the original documents, after all I had paid £900 for them, and he refused to provide them (this was before my £450 refund) without me paying him even more money.
Needless to say I was in a much better position before I had the misfortune of meeting, Mr Ibrahim Sheikh.
I had to explain this situation to the High Court and their words were 'he preys on the vulnerable'!
After being woefully let down, we contacted another person, to act as a McKenzie friend and they stated they think we were scammed and warned us of Mr Sheikh's behaviour.
My experience echoes all the negative experiences on here... He clearly sticks to the same modus operandi.
Ibrahim Sheikh is NOT regulated by anyone, as such you do not have any 'protection'. He can and will do what he wants!
I will update this as I have contacted the relevant bodies (and would urge all who he has done this to, to do the same) and will share progress.
Should you be desperate enough to instruct him after reading this, at least pay by debit or credit card at least then you will have some security through your bank... Do not pay by bank transfer as it is considered the same as paying cash!!!
However, if you have any sense at all, stay as far away from Ibrahim Sheikh as you can!
