In a time of great worry and desperation, I was fortunate enough to be recommended to ABR solicitors, and I must admit it was easily the best decision I made, during a very difficult time. The level of personal support I received was outstanding, and the personal touch was felt throughout the whole process. I did not feel like I was 'just another client'. The flexibility I was given for meetings and appointments, and the communication I received throughout the whole process made me feel like I actually mattered. It's not often said that solicitors care, but in my honest opinion, ABR does care, and it shows in their professionalism and 'on the ball' attitude. I have a lot to thank ABR, James and his team for. For anyone reading this, please don't give it a second thought, if you need help, ABR will listen, show care, understanding and compassion, and deliver the best quality advice you'll need. Thank you so much.

From the very beginning, James and the team were non-judgmental, supportive, and honest. They guided me through every step — from the nature of the offence I had committed, to the potential outcomes — always with clarity and compassion.
I was open and truthful about what I had done and had regretted it from day one. I was punishing myself emotionally, but James helped me put everything into context. He made me realise that I wasn’t the bad person I had convinced myself I was.
James also identified the right medical support and introduced me to a barrister I could trust and feel confident with. Thanks to their combined efforts, and despite fearing the worst, I ultimately received the best possible outcome.
I am deeply grateful to James and the entire team. Thank you all.

Every part of my experience with James has been beyond positive. As a client you are always his priority, whether it be making sure you're aware of everything going on, that you are coping well and where to find great support and advice, next steps, and going about living post sentencing. His experience and professionalism makes him great for knowing what to expect and what you need to do from your first meeting without you ever feeling worry or pressure in what can be already stressful times. However he is also a grounded and he and his team are completely non-judgemental, when you speak you aren't just a client, you are a person he cares about and wants to help. I would recommend James unconditionally to anyone seeking his expertise.

When looking for a solicitor James easily ticked all the boxes. Not only being a solicitor but also being knowledgeable in the mental health department he is easily able to explain things in a way to not cause worry with his clients. James also like to check in with his clients on a regular basis to reassure them. Overall it was a pleasure working with James and his team and a very stress free experience.

James and team helped me through the most difficult time of my life for which I will forever be grateful. Professional, clear, responsive and non judgemental from the offset ABR couldn’t have done more and thank you doesn’t seem enough.

I engaged James to assist with a legal matter on behalf of my son. My son is neurodiverse, and finds communication difficult, especially with strangers and regarding topics which can be difficult. James was excellent at assisting my son, putting his mind at ease, and always spoke in a compassionate way, whilst maintaining an excellent level of professionalism. He was approachable and incredibly helpful in a very difficult time, with no judgement felt from James or any of his team. He didn't overpromise, was very reasonable and generous with his time, and with his help we obtained the best outcome we could have hoped for. I would not hesitate to recommend James, he is a professional, supportive and and excellent solicitor.

The firm offers good support and advice through out my case.

I reached out to James after searching for the right Lawyer to help with my case, after poor experiences searching for one and lack of understanding of my situation, James felt like the right person. Thankfully from the get go, James reached out almost immediately to discuss my situation and really understood a distressing situation. He had empathy and a genuine care for the right the outcome whilst still explaining clearly my options. We had an in depth face to face meeting and I couldn’t have felt more supported and understood. I will always be grateful for James taking on my case and also for finding me the best barrister, Charlotte Noddings. Thanks to both of them and working so diligently we got the outcome we wanted and I’ve had a weight lifted off of my shoulders since and I’ve been able to get on with my life. Also a big thank you to the Narayani and Emma for all of their support with court appearances too, just having both of them to support me and guide me was invaluable.

James made an extremely difficult situation manageable. Throughout my case, he was there when I needed him with advice and support. James and his team carried out their work in a non-judgemental way which appeared genuinely caring. The way they interacte with me made me feel comfortable and allowed me to fully trust them. I have no other experiences with criminal solicitors to compare ABR to, but I can confidently say that I would highly recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in trouble and I have no regrets in selecting them to represent me. The fees seemed expensive at first but in hindsight I think they were reasonable and fair. I appreciated that the fees laid out paid at the beginning and that any future costs were clearly explained from the outset meaning there were no unwanted surprises.

I think I did something hard to forgive and for a long time I was uncertain about the support I received. I was never judged once, and James's team slowly ensured I was happy to trust them. My only regret is not contacting them far sooner.
