The below is a brief touch of the extremely unpleasant experience I have had with ABV, multiple times I have had to pay for second opinions from other law firms to get ABV to even respond. In fact I was not even shown my own evidence until a week before my trial by another law firm.
Quotes from two other law firms;
“ we should not be the ones showing you this for the first time”
“We are sorry you backed the wrong horse”
I leave below my original review which I was forced to read remove by Aneeta Borwick who threatened to remove my PAID representation a couple days before my final hearing. She forced me to write an email under duress stating otherwise, of an already known vulnerable client. The below is not intended for no purposes other than stating my experience of the firm and are not meant for defamation purposes
I could write a lot more but below are the lowlights of my experience with this firm.
I am a private paying client, and unfortunately my experience with ABV solicitors has been a very unpleasant one.
From my first consultation with Aneeta Borwick, who was quite hostile and threatened to charge me for phone call when I was trying to find out the level of service I would be provided for my money, to being constantly ignored and having to chase this firm at every stage and step of my legal proceedings.
I was given a solicitor who had leave scheduled for a week before my trial, I did not speak to my solicitor until 7pm on the night before my trial, at which point I was pressured into a guilty plea.
Of course I was charged with a full trial preparation, although I very much doubt any trial preparation took place.
Up to this day, I have still not spoke to any solicitor during working hours. I have been last on this list of priorities of this firm, which has been very strange as one would expect as a private paying client one would expect a service proportional to the level of fees payed.
I am a vulnerable client and this firm has done all they can to cause me further distress, it has honestly felt like talking to the prosecution. I have now been made aware by an out of office email my solicitor has gone on leave 3 days before my sentencing. No one has informed me of this before and I have now been left in the dark. The firm of course has requested further fees for this, I would recommend no one touch this firm unless you are getting legal aid.
It has been the worst experience of my life and the dealings with this firm honestly exacerbated my situation and mental health extremely
I am currently in the midst of a formal complaint against this firm and would advise any paying clients to rethink you decision

We were thoroughly pleased with the professionalism displayed Abv Solicitors especially Ashley. Wishing a special commendation to the articulate trainee solicitor and organised barrister who reassured us and performed exceptionally throughout the trial. Achieving a not guilty verdict through the half-time submission wouldn't have been possible without such an outstanding team. Always providing prompt updates and replies to our questions or worries, they handled the case very exceptionally. Should the need for solicitors arise in the future, we enthusiastically recommend Abv solicitors services to our friends and family.

I contacted ABV solicitors for help for my stepson, I received a call from a solicitor called Claire Anderson, who from the very start was extremely helpful and very friendly and approachable.
My stepson had to appear in Magistrates court and crown court over a period of 3 years, in this time, if I had any questions etc, Claire was on hand to answer then.
I found Claire very professional but also very understanding, I had the pleasure of meeting with Claire and felt like I had known her for many years,
I have nothing but enormous gratitude and respect for Claire.
I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again if ever needed, I highly recommend Claire,
You won’t be disappointed on the level of experience she has and her kind and friendly nature.
Above first class service. Thank you Claire.

ABV were defending me in a straightforward obstruction of a police officer charge. I was kept well informed of the court process, what my options were as well as guidance on appropriate action I could take to support defending my case. Despite the circumstances, my interaction with members of the ABV team were positive and information was conveyed in simple way that was easy to understand. Thank you!

He is fantastic at his job and always offers honest support. Roheed communicates any information he has as soon as he receives it which always helps , especially when you are the family involved.

The place itself is in development state, otherwise good location, good connection links.
When I first was introduced to ABV solicitors I was not much impressed, (I may explain if needed ) until I met Mr Roheed Hussain !
I belive he is a training lawyer who puts his heart and long hours (past his working time ) to help out people like me.
I was impressed with Mr Hussain's quick responses when zi was actually in crisis.
Amazing person in and out!
We want more people like Mr Hussain!!
Very proffesional all the way; I was always served a coffee. Always confidential room. I was always treated with respect but when needed with a joke to lift me up !
Give this guy a chance !! Some people really wanna help others!
He is one of them!
I absolutely want to thank Mr. Martin Hawkes, who won my heart !!!
=) sir you became my idol !!

I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending ABV. The firm was introduced to me by a close personal contact who spoke highly of Aneeta Borwick's abilities. Whilst my issue was relatively insignificant and unimportant in comparison to much of their usual business I nonetheless felt genuinely valued and supported by every member of the firm with whom I dealt. Not only are they clearly able to provide excellent advice and representation, they are also approachable people and are therefore a pleasure to deal with.
Having achieved an extremely favourable outcome in my case (Emma Turner of ABV did a fine job on the day of my hearing) I have complete faith in ABV's abilities and i honestly feel i could not have chosen a better firm to represent me.
