The Expert Representation and Defence, ZMS provides legal services of the highest quality, taking pride in delivering expert advice to suit the unique needs of a range of legal cases and circumstances.

No matter the occupation, background, lifestyle or upbringing of a client, ZMS knows that often it is simply a case of the being in the wrong place at the wrong time, yet with devastating consequences as they are initiated into the ‘nightmarish’ criminal justice system of the UK. ZMS’s team of client-centric lawyers are on hand to provide knowledgeable support and guidance, whatever the case or situation. Established in 2003, ZMS operates from the heart of Leicester City Centre and serves clients across the UK. The firm is supported by a network of experts located locally and nationally in order to best serve its clients wherever they are, providing convenient legal services with total commitment to each case. For those who have been arrested, charged, or invited to interview under caution; accused of or charged with a motoring offence; or have received a postal requisition indicating required presence in court, ZMS is able to offer its services on a privately or publicly funded basis. The team is led by experienced solicitors and Directors Parmjit Singh and Yakesh Tanna, who is also Head of the Magistrates Court and Police Station Departments. The pair are both first generation immigrants who have benefited from the incredible opportunities for development and platforms for progression that are available within the UK. “We have worked extremely hard to achieve what we have, but are forever grateful of ZMS Solicitors the opportunity that the UK gave to us,” said Mr Tanna in a recent interview. Having worked hard throughout their lives to attain such success, both Mr Singh and Mr Tanna have prioritised creating a firm that is fair and equal to all. They strive to be relatable and accommodating in a sector that is often perceived as ‘elitist’, and lead a team that is similarly conscientious, approachable and well informed. Moreover, they are able to provide services in a range of languages that includes Polish, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi. Consequently, clients are able to rely on ZMS for effective legal solutions with proven results in processes that are convenient to them, thanks to a team of lawyers who have their best interests at heart.
