LEARN ABOUT AFTAB BAKHAT

I am Aftab Bakhat, a Criminal Defence Consultant Solicitor with over 28 years’ experience representing clients across the full spectrum of criminal law

Throughout my career, I have advised and defended individuals facing allegations ranging from drink and drug driving to serious violence, drug supply, sexual offences, and complex fraud. As a former founding partner of a successful high-street criminal practice, I now act as an independent Consultant solicitor, bringing senior-level judgment and perspective to every case I handle.

I understand that being under investigation or facing criminal proceedings can be overwhelming. My role is to provide clarity, direction, and strong representation at a time when it matters most.

Client Stories

What Our Clients Say About Us

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real clients have to say about their experience working with the Veritas legal team.

I can’t thank Aftab Bakhat enough for everything he’s done for me. From the moment he took on my case, he showed real compassion, professionalism, and dedication. He didn’t just treat me like another client — he genuinely cared about the outcome and went above and beyond to fight for me. Throughout the whole process, Aftab kept me calm, explained everything clearly, and always made sure I understood what was happening. His attention to detail and commitment were second to none, and because of his hard work, I was able to beat my case. It was a really stressful time, but having Aftab in my corner made all the difference.
