Great!

Michael was great at explaining the law and offering advice and expertise. I felt reassured along every stage particularly during stressful days and when difficult conflicting decisions had to be made. Michael was great at responding to me almost straight away sometimes on whattsapp or email and went beyond his working hours. Really appreciate the service and professionalism from Michael and his senior Katie.

Committed and dedicated

I cannot thank Michael enough for the support, patience, and compassion he showed throughout my legal case. From the very beginning, he treated me with dignity and respect, never once questioning my innocence or making me feel judged during an incredibly stressful time. Michael was always professional, understanding, and quick to respond whenever I needed reassurance or updates. What stood out most was how dedicated he was to pushing my case forward and working hard to get it dropped as quickly as possible. His communication, empathy, and commitment made a huge difference to me personally and gave me confidence throughout the entire process. I'm truly grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal support.

Very satisfied.

I have been a client of Holborn Adams over the past six years, and from the beginning Ria Ashcroft has looked after me. Ria has gone out of her way to help and support me. I have found Holborn Adams and Ria in particular to be excellent in everything they’ve done for me. Ria has kept me informed and appraised of every development and has been very proactive and positive all the way through to the conclusion of my case. I’m sure I could not have got through it without Ria’s help and support.

Fantastic hard work and empathy

Michael helped our son when falsely accused of a horrendous crime. We've been through 6 months of absolute devastation and Michael did everything he could to support us and write up reps to forward to the CPS which were very precise and detailed. We had the incredible news from Michael a few days ago that the CPS closed the case and we can all live normally again! We would not hesitate to recommend Michael and also Lara who oversaw the case. We couldn't be happier with all the hard work and dedication put into it and also the kindness and understanding. Thank you so much!

Excellent and very Comprehensive.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my solicitors, Michael and Katie, for their outstanding support and professionalism throughout the entire process. They were both incredibly kind, approachable, and highly professional at all times. What I appreciated most was their availability and willingness to help whenever I had questions. No matter the time, they were always ready to respond, provide clear guidance, and ensure I understood everything at each stage. Michael, in particular, went above and beyond to support me. He was always looking for ways to help, remained positive throughout, and consistently reassured me during the process. His dedication and encouragement truly made a difference. Thank you both, Michael and Katie, for your hard work, professionalism, and kindness. I am truly grateful for all your help and would highly recommend your services.
