Who is Momtaz Islam?
A solicitor, a neighbour, and a lifelong Tower Hamlets resident.
Momtaz is a Housing & Litigation Solicitor with years of experience standing up for tenants, families and the most vulnerable in our community. Her work has always been guided by one simple belief: everyone deserves to be heard.
Born in Bangladesh, she came to Tower Hamlets when she was just a couple of months old and grew up in the borough — going to school here, raising her family here, and building her career here. That's why she wants to give back to the borough that shaped her — and especially to the residents of Bow West.
