Service

When ever your arrested there’s no way of feeling positive or reassured but in a moment of darkness my night in shinning armour Emma was sent to the rescue who gave me sound and reassuring advice. I highly recommend in asking for her specifically if and when you need legal aid from the station to court

Excellent Service

Mr Robert Borwick at ABV provided an excellent service from start to finish. I was given regular updates on the case and felt completely safe and relaxed and everything was dealt with at a very professional level. I highly recommend Mr Borwick and ABV for a service that goes that extra mile compared to other firms. When dealing with Mr Borwick it is clear to anyone that he is a gentleman of the highest caliber and will not let you down.

ABV are an Amazing, Brilliant and Vigilant Law Firm!

ABV Solicitors are without doubt the best Solicitors I have come across, I have no regrets in selecting them as my representatives. They are an organised, articulate, committed and supportive group of working law professionals, all fully educated in the law. I would highly advise anyone in an awkward or bad situation with the law to utilise ABV solicitors for the best possible outcomes. I would specifically like to thank Solicitor ‘Ms Ashley Tibble’ whom I believe to be one of the best amongst the ABV group, someone who worked tirelessly to support my needs and queries, giving me great advise, support and communication. ABV were incredibly detailed and informative, offering me a high level of professionalism, granting me the best possible outcome! Highly recommended!!

Excellent legal support

I cannot recommend Fergus Harrington enough, I changed from another solicitor at a different law firm to Fergus and the difference was astounding. Fergus thinks outside the box, fresh and dynamic. I was kept up to date throughout, had everything explained to me in a concise professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble. I really appreciate Fergus’s hard work and commitment. Fergus secured an excellent result with my case being dismissed.

Thank you

From the speed to which they picked up the case and how they handled the process was fantastic. For someone with little to no knowledge of the legal world it was fantastic that ABV Solicitors / Claire Anderson were there when we needed and guided / supported to a positive resolution
Would not hesitate to recommend

Recently I found myself in a position where I needed the help of a lawyer for my son. I looked through Google and spoke with different firms but none of them felt right. ABV Solicitors was recommended to me by a friend and I must say how glad I am that they did.
From first interaction with the firm I found them to be very professional without losing the personal touch. They where very open and clear about the cost of everything and In my opinion I believe it to be a very fair price for the level of care and attention given.
I worked very closely with Fergus who was a very bright light in such a turbulent time. He honestly went above and beyond. From arranging to meet me at different locations to suit my needs to being there to answer any calls, texts or emails even after 5pm. When I had meetings with fergus he was very attentive with a good eye for attention to detail. Given the situation he was very caring and considerate towards not only me but to the feelings and needs of my son. When ever we would have a meeting (which was multiple times) he would give us his fall attention and never once did i feel pressured to hurry up or like I was using to much of his time..even if sometimes I would find myself venting to him.
Luckily with the help of fergus and the team at ABV we received good news and the outcome was positive.
I honestly would like to thank the team, but mostly fergus for the service in which we recieved. Without them the whole process would of been alot harderd to handle.

A huge thank you to Fergus Harrington of ABV solicitors who got me the best result I could possibly ask for. He is not just a typical solicitor, but an outstanding character who thoroughly understands his role, goes above and beyond, and delivers excellent results. I have had multiple solictors and Fergus is by far the best solicitor I have ever had.

I faced charges of class A drug supply and Fergus raised the defence of modern slavery using various experts which allowed for my charges to be completely dropped.
Fergus was very professional, supportive and helpful throughout the whole case. He was swift in his response when I had questions or any concerns. He demonstrated that he truly cared about me and my case and knew what he was doing the whole time. He managed the process in an effective manner, going through each necessary step in timely fashion, as I had to have multiple psychologist reports which were prepared before the court date.
He made sure that I was comfortable and even made sure I was looked after at his office where the reports took place.
Fergus was always readily available to speak to throughout the process and made sure that at every step that he was updating me on what was going on and making me aware of my options, encouraging me not to give up when it felt very overwhelming.
He understood the modern slavery defence very well and clearly had experience with it and also explained this to me which allowed me to get the help I needed. He also understood my own personal needs, as someone who struggles with their mental health he made sure to always approach the situation sensitively and professionally, always putting my safety and wellbeing first. I was overjoyed to receive the positive result that I did because it has completely changed my life and without Fergus I would not have been able to achieve this. He also made sure that I was able to go on a family wedding holiday whilst I was on a gps curfew tag which meant the world to me, he made sure to advocate for me when I was not sure it would be approved.

BIG THANK YOU TO FERGUS BEST SOLICITOR HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
