Friendly, Helpful & Authoritative

Andrew arranged to return my initial call in the evening, so we could speak without pressure. The service from Andrew was exactly what I needed. He was friendly, super helpful in his analysis of my situation and spoke with absolute authority. He clearly knows his stuff.

The best support and friends, through the most difficult of times.

I'm getting quite overwhelming emotions as I write this. Katie and team helped me through the darkest time of my life. Ultimately, at court, we achieved an outcome that was as favourable as we could have hoped for, given the circumstances. We also achieved several bail variations, which made a huge difference to my family, and my life, including my living arrangements.

Throughout the whole process, I was impressed by so many things; Katie's knowledge and confidence of law and the legal system, the way she truly got to truly understand me and my case, and her compassionate and caring approach. All these things meant that I never felt alone and could share any doubts and concerns, feeling always that I was being 100% listened to. Chanelle also provided some much needed reassurance during both court appearances.

Katie also brought in an amazing barrister, having given me several choices and a recommendation of who to go for. Katie always went the extra mile for me.

I whole-heartedly recommend Katie and the firm for anyone in need of support.

Highly recommended firm

I cannot recommend Holborn Adams highly enough. From the very first call, the team demonstrated exceptional compassion and effectiveness that truly stood out. Geena was available around the clock, offering unwavering support, while Katie responded instantly to arrange representation at the police station. It was deeply moving to receive a personal call from the Director, Adam, who, despite being abroad at the time, took a moment to offer reassuring words that had a profound impact during an incredibly stressful period. Paige, the solicitor who represented us at the Magistrates' Court, went above and beyond, and we were genuinely impressed by her efforts in securing bail. I am deeply grateful to every member of the firm who supported us so professionally and personally during such a difficult time. Thank you.

Professional, diligent and expeditious - Ara Brace-Sartaj

Although my case has not yet concluded, I have been thoroughly impressed by Ara’s professionalism, diligence, and the depth of legal knowledge. Throughout the course of our engagement, she has consistently demonstrated a meticulous attention to detail, a strong work ethic, and a sincere commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me and our family.

What has stood out most is thoughtful and considerate approach to our well-being. Ara has consistently taken the time to clearly explain each step of the process, ensuring I was fully informed and comfortable with every decision. Her ability to combine legal expertise with genuine client care is truly commendable.

Ara is a dedicated and highly capable legal professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone seeking skilled and trustworthy legal representation.

The 4th Emergency Service

During complex allegations it was only through the clear expert advice from Holborn Adams that I have had the best possible outcome. Aside from the expert legal counsel, the team are always calm and know the best way to deal with tricky situations. At a very stressful time dealing with criminal allegations I can't recommend Holborn Adams enough. I appreciate the endless patience and amount of care that the team have brought to a lengthy and complex case.

A lifeline

I had the honour to be represented by Sophia for an arrest for a serious offence which I was adamant I did not commit. The police seized several of my devices and I was left in limbo for 6 months due to the police taking their time. Sophia was absolutely brilliant during this time. She calmed my nerves wherever necessary and talked me through the entire process, all potential outcomes and likelihood of prosecution etc. My case was ultimately NFA which was obviously an extreme relief. I would recommend Holborn Adams & Sophia to anyone in need of legal representation.

I cannot speak more highly of the team at Holborn Adams. When I found myself in a situation where I needed legal advice this company were second to none. I've never met a team who are so proactive, knowledgeable and driven. Within hours of contacting them Adam had completely reassured me, I had all options explained to me in language a 'non legal' person like myself could understand easily and we had a plan to move forward. But it wasn't just the professional expertise that was impressive, it's the 'soft skills' they excel in also. Adam provided that personal touch that makes you feel valued and that Holborn Adams cares about you as an individual. That people centred approach really makes the difference and sets Adam and HB apart for all other law firms. I was passed to Akram and he was just excellent with his professional support through what turned out to be a protracted process. I was regularly kept updated on progress and what the plan was next. Ultimately the situation was resolved completely. I have no doubt that without the HB team, then I would never have received the outcome I did or deserved. These guys are the 'special forces in suits' of law firms! I'll never go anywhere else for legal support.

Simply the best!
I look upon Adam as a true friend, since our paths crossed by chance several years ago. Adam may be a top lawyer, but he never forgets his roots. His dynamic personality draws people towards him in a very positive way and his inspiring nature is a real attribute. This is abundant in the charity work he quietly gets involved in. Being a kindhearted man, Adam works on projects that benefit groups and individuals who struggle in today’s society. His approachable nature is endearing, along with his integrity and generosity. Adam is a very special person who always goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome in all situations.
I am truly blessed that fate has allowed me to have met Adam and become part of his wonderful family.
