2 years ago I was arrested by the police on an accusation of something. I was worried sick and got in touch with HOLBORN ADAMS. From day 1 this fantastic legal company looked after me like I was 1 of their own. Mr Andrew who 1st took my call then i spoke to an ammmmazing lady named FAY assisted me and then arranged my wonderful solicitor named KATIE LOCKHART. What can I say what a brilliant ammmmazing solicitor who was backed by an ammmmazing team starting with SOPHIA THEN LARA AND LAST BUT LEAST WONDERFUL AMMAZING HIGHLY SKILFUL AND TALENTED JUDIE NYAMAPARO. These guys were there for me day and night 24/7 . So many times I would ring up judie and cry 😢 in frustration and feel sick but she was always comforting me and always reassuring me that they are with me every step of the way. The more credit I give to this team the less it sounds. Finally after a long 2 years I was found not guilty of anything and this was mostly down to the hard work these guys put into my defence. If anyone out there needs a top top legal firm to represent them then HOLBORN ADAMS is the 1 guys. For the 1st time in 2 years I have finally had a good night sleep and this is all credit to KATIE and especially JUDIE towards seeing this whole nightmare through with me and bringing me out on the other side as a free man. As I can now finally after a 2 year long battle finally move on with my life and my family. GUYS I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH I OWE YOU SOO MUCH.

I talked to a few potential solicitors before landing on Holborn Adams, and I'm so glad I went with them. What immediately struck me was their calm and empathetic approach which is exactly what you need when you are suddenly thrown into an unfamiliar and scary world. My initial introduction was with Fay and she was reassuring and put me at ease. I chose Lara to be my solicitor and she continued in the same manner, ensuring I was comfortable and ready and was there for me throughout the whole process. She took the time to read my case and my evidence and made sure all my questions were answered. She gave good legal advice and we prepared a thorough statement in my defence. Following my interview the case was closed with no further action. Lara did a great job throughout and very happy with for the service I received.

Hi David, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. This is exactly the experience we want our clients to have, particularly when they come to us at what can be an incredibly worrying and uncertain time. It’s lovely to hear how supported you felt from your first conversation with Fay and throughout your case with Lara. We know how important it is to feel that someone is genuinely listening, understands your case and is there to guide you through every step. We’re delighted with the outcome and, most importantly, that you felt supported throughout. We’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to both Lara and Fay. Wishing you all the very best for the future. Kind Regards, Holborn Adams

Once we had contacted Holburn Adams everything suddenly became so much easier and far less stressful. The team was always available with advice or information as needed. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we formed good relationships. We always felt supported knowing that they were working with us and worried less knowing that they are completely reliable, knowledgeable and accessible. Onika was helpful and understanding . Lara was exceptional as a lawyer and as a person and I feel we could not have managed without her

"I can’t thank Lara Hockley enough for her incredible support after I was arrested for ABH following a family argument. From the very beginning, Lara was brilliant. She knew exactly what needed to be done, and her attention to detail was outstanding. What really set Lara apart was how fantastic she was with my sons. She took the time to secure witness statements from both of my boys, handling them with the utmost care and professionalism. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, she secured a 'No Further Action' (NFA) within just 8 weeks, allowing my family to move forward. If you need a solicitor who is thorough, caring, and gets results, I highly recommend Lara. I am incredibly lucky to have had her on my side."

Excellent communications, reassuring with their advice and speedy action dealing with the early and extremely worrying first stages of plods actions. I would recommend this firm of solicitors without hesitation.
