3. Opinion regarding legal issues like
a)
Representing
a guilty client
Client
need legal representation to ensure that the judge get a clear picture of the
background of the case. Function of a lawyer is to reduce the future punishment,
not to negate punishment entirely. This is my stance.
b)
Do
cases win due to its facts or indulgence of a lawyer
Most
of the criminal cases are won due to technical aspects which were not provided
to the high expectation of justice. 30%
of the litigation cases are won due to indulgence of the lawyer. 70% of them
are actually due to its facts factor.

Moments

In
the year of 2005 where the accused (who is an innocent) has been acquitted due to the lack of witness

8. How long have you been practicing
in this field or area of law?
11
years
9.
What
qualities do you believe will make you a successful lawyer?
Determination,
hard work and long term learning. I do not see myself doing any other thing as
a career and thus I put tremendous effort to be good in my job while balancing
my time for family.
10.
What goals have you set for yourself?
To settle
at least 5 files a day, to get at least 15 new files a month
How
are you planning to achieve them?
By doing marketing through networking of
government services (Land Office, JPN and other agency), bankers and property
agents. I also take advantage of modern wonders such as the Internet to expand
my domain.
11. What was the most useful criticism you ever
received, and whom was it from?
The
most useful criticism is from a friend who criticised me for not doing enough
time for marketing.
12.

bankers, developer and property agents;
and by the activities of selling & buying properties. My firm’s presence
are also available online.
13.
Are the firm's organization and administration systems sound and running
smoothly?
Not yet.
There are still many things that should and could be improved to increase
efficiency and deliverability.
14.
Why do you want to be a lawyer?
I
want to be a lawyer to help the more people who are in need of legal
advice/service especially to ease the
process of acquiring properties. In fact, it has been my dream to directly help
people and give satisfying service in any way that I can.
15.
Which of your practice areas interest you and why?
Real
estate and probate. The former due to its civil importance and future value. It
is conventional wisdom that real estate, as a valuable resource and asset, has
tremendous and persistent market value and is here to stay. Real estate should
therefore be (if it hasn’t been) one of the forefronts necessities among the
population and good for business. The latter, specifically the fara’id, is less
known, let alone mastered by average Muslims. Thus, I would step in to assist
any of those that need advice and processing in this particular matter.
