5.0Khula
I was abroad and frightened of the process. Hina explained khula in plain words, appeared for me on power of attorney, and the decree came in under five months. She never once made me feel judged.
5.0Custody
Custody was with the mother in Lahore and I live overseas. Hina negotiated a written video-call and holiday schedule instead of dragging it through years of hearings. It has held for a year now.
4.0Khula
Explained everything patiently and in my language. One hearing was adjourned because a document from her side was late, which cost us a month. Otherwise excellent.
