Faiza Sultana was recommended to me by a complete stranger-a teller at a bank that held my mortgage! I was fresh out of a 14 year long physically, emotionally and mentally abusive relationship, trying to find a way forward along with a way to protect myself and my children. I contacted Faiza immediately, had a meeting with her within a day or two, and retained her.

She is a powerhouse.

Nothing escapes her- Faiza is very obviously on my side, a part of my team. She has been my strength when I had none, my protector when I needed it, and she is truly dedicated to the wellbeing of myself and my children.
She is mindful of my retainer, does not waste time or money, while being attentive and kind.

She is truly what gives me the strength to continue in this daunting process.
Empower very literally empowers those struggling to face their situation with confidence. This is a team of people who take family law and make it manageable, they give you options and help with a way forward.

I will forever be indebted to Faiza and Empower. I have a whole new life, one filled with peace and love, because of their help. Thank you.

Heartfelt Appreciation and Thanks for Ms. Mehwish Rasheed

I’ve been thinking about where to start, should I begin with the seven-year legal battle, or go back to the first time I met Ms. Mehwish Rasheed?
I believe it’s best to start at the beginning, because I’ll never forget what she said to me during our very first meeting. She looked at me and said:
"Your case is very complicated, but I will try to make it as simple as it can be."
Those words stayed with me. In that moment, I felt heard, understood, and reassured for the first time in a long time. That simple promise defined the way Ms. Rasheed handled my case-with clarity, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
From that first meeting, Ms. Rasheed stood by her word. What followed was a long and emotionally exhausting legal journey that stretched over seven years. Throughout that time, she never wavered in her commitment. She was not only my lawyer; she became a trusted guide, a steady source of strength, and someone who genuinely cared about both the outcome and my well-being.
No matter how complex the situation became, she approached every step with calm, focus, and professionalism. She explained every option with patience and honesty, always making sure I understood what was happening so I could make informed decisions. Her ability to break down complex legal matters made everything feel more manageable.
There were moments of fear, frustration, and even hopelessness. But Ms. Rasheed remained steady; always reminding me to trust the process and reassuring me that we were moving forward, even when it didn’t feel that way. Her support went far beyond legal advice; it was personal, compassionate, and deeply human.
As the years passed, the legal battle grew more intense and complex, but she never lost sight of what truly mattered. And when we finally reached the judgment, it brought overwhelming relief and deep gratitude. The outcome was in my favour; something I truly believe would not have been possible without Ms. Rasheed’s relentless effort, preparation, and belief in my case.
It wasn’t just a legal victory; it was the closing of a painful chapter I never thought would end.
I am forever grateful for Mehwish’s dedication, strength, and support. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend her to anyone in need of expert legal assistance. You will be in the very best hands.
