Shazia prides herself in being client-focused and works to develop meaningful relationships with her clients. Shazia is committed to zealously advocating for her clients’ best interests (be it through negotiation or litigation), and strives to anticipate her clients’ needs and exceed their expectations.

Out of the office, Shazia enjoys travelling, cooking, eating movie theatre popcorn, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
