Crime/ Criminal Defence

Thank you for everything ! Forever grateful ❤️

The BEST criminal defense lawyers in town folks. They make the impossible possible from dropping baseless charges quickly, challenging any alleged crimes in the most effective way that there is, with grace and an extensive knowledge of the courts and legal system - all whilst making you as the clients feel at ease. With necessary and thorough communication and notifying you of any changes and updates made to your case. I would like to give an honourable mention of my team, Emma turner and Martin Hawkes. I can barely put into words the gratitude I feel towards them as they worked tirelessly towards a hopeful acquittal (not guilty) verdict as I pleaded self defence. I say hopeful because there isn’t certainty of anything especially when going against an allegation as serious as ‘assault against a police officer’. Emma Turner gathered all the necessary evidence and kept me in the loop, kept in contact with the CPS and did everything she could have done to have the 3 year old case reviewed on my behalf. On the day of the trial at the crown court, Martin Hawkes came in ready and advocated for me with exceptional skill and professionalism. Martin knew every detail of my case, kept me fully informed throughout, and fought fearlessly for me in court. His cross-examination was crucial in my case and very sharp, powerful even. I felt genuinely supported during one of the most difficult times of my life. Thanks to their dedication, I achieved the right outcome, and I will always be grateful. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Advice from Fergus Harrington

Fergus has been advising me in a criminal investigation. He has been very professional, was very precise about deliverables and timing required and worked efficiently and effectively to achieve the outcome. He was available late at night and early in the morning when required. Overall an outstanding effort and achieved the outcome we hoped for.

A massive thank you to Rajah azam

I truly cannot thank ABV Solicitors enough. Especially my assigned solicitor Rajah Azam. For 3 years whilst awaiting trial Rajah not only gave me his professional advice, he answered all my questions at any hour of the day when I would be feeling anxious about proceedings. He really has gone above and beyond. Thanks to Rajah and the team helping me prove my innocence, My verdict was … not guilty! I just want to thank Rajah for giving me back my life, for supporting me and doing what he does best … an amazing solicitor who I believe will go on to achieve great things! I highly recommend ABV to anyone especially with people like Rajah on their team.

Great result

My experience with abv was a lengthy one of over 2.5 years. I initially had a wonderful lady by the name of Dilan who was 100% supportive and really helped me and gave me a sense that she was on my side. She always went above and beyond to ensure my case and myself were fully prepared and made to feel at ease. Let’s just say she has my back and worked really ensuring I got the best outcome. My barrister at my trial and sentencing was absolutely without a doubt INCREDIBLE!! He made sure to get every point across and argued my case eloquently. I am extremely thankful for these 2 people especially, I can now relax and move on with my life in a positive way. Thank you abv

Naomi and I can't thank Roheed Hussain from ABV Solicitors enough! He was excellent and he appeared to have taken the time to study all our evidence in detail and sometimes out of his usual working hours. On the day of the trial, he explained to us the court process and he constantly reassured us in a calm and friendly manner all the way through - resulting in the case against us being dismissed! Thank you Roheed!

This is just to say. A huge thankyou personally to ROHEED HUSSAIN and MARTIN HAWKES and the team. I was charged with 3 offences back in 2023 that could and would have put me in prison. After their tenacity and patience, I finally had my trial 3 years later. Due to good team work and facts coming to light, I received a UNANIMOUS not guilty verdict after a 20 minute deliberation.. I can not thank them ALL enough. I would absolutely Recommend ABV for their diligence and patience. Thankyou all.

I honestly cannot thank Anwar enough for the support he gave me during one of the worst experiences of my life. I was falsely accused and, for the first time ever, taken into custody. It was terrifying and completely overwhelming, especially as I have never been involved in anything criminal before nor did i ever visit the police station in my life time. Anwar came in as my custody solicitor, guided me calmly through the entire process, and helped get me out. His reassurance and professionalism made a horrible situation much easier to handle. After that, I unfortunately instructed a different solicitor and paid a significant amount in fees, but they were completely unhelpful. I had travel restrictions and a ban in place, with pre-booked flights, and for three months I struggled while they kept saying the officers wouldn’t respond. Despite constantly chasing them, I got nowhere and eventually lost hope. I was even told I wouldn’t be able to fly. Just one day before my scheduled travel, I decided to call Anwar again. To my absolute surprise, by that same evening he had resolved the issue and I was cleared to travel. I immediately dropped my previous solicitors and asked Anwar to take over my case. Throughout everything, he has been reliable, supportive, and genuinely dedicated. I understand lawyers are busy and it can sometimes be difficult to get responses, but whenever something was urgent, Anwar was always available to talk, explain things clearly, and take action. I don’t usually write Google reviews, but Anwar truly deserves this recognition. He is an excellent solicitor and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs strong, dependable legal representation.

Had an issue

Had an issue - I needed legal assistance - searched thru internet and found ABV solicitors. Was put thru to Mr Miren Patel. We discussed the issue and he suggested a face to face conference which was arranged for shortly thereafter. At the meeting we thoroughly discussed the situation and he gave me all the options and associated costs. Eventually, I decided to go with the pre-charge representation. He carried out this detailed work exemplarily. I came in for another face to face to finalise the representation report. This was submitted. A week later I received notification 'No further action'. Facts speak for themselves. Thank you Miren!

A Smooth and Stress-Free Experience

I had a very positive experience and received excellent support throughout the process. Afaya Syed was professional, responsive and always willing to answer my questions clearly and promptly. The service was efficient and I felt well informed at every stage. I would be happy to recommend Afaya and the team to anyone looking for reliable and first class assistance. Thank you for all your help.

Brilliant deflection

Total poor Unprofessional, deceitful, and completely untrustworthy. I engaged this firm for a high-stakes, time-sensitive legal matter. I was assured they had the capacity to handle my file and provided sensitive, detailed case documentation in good faith. After this, I was ghosted for a full week, wasting critical time while my court deadline approached. When they finally resurfaced, they claimed they could not take the case due to a lack of documentation—documentation they never once formally requested. When I challenged this blatant incompetence, the management stepped in to gaslight me, blaming staff holidays and attempting to police my tone to deflect from their own internal failures. This firm is a masterclass in time-wasting. They will solicit your sensitive information, mislead you about their capacity, and discard your file the moment their administrative errors are exposed. If you value your legal position, do not trust this firm. You are better off representing yourself than relying on this level of unprofessionalism.

NOT GUILTY

I was wrongfully accused. All my sacrifices and everything I have ever worked for, felt at a standstill. Throughout the entire process, Sidra (solicitor) and Adam (barrister) formed an exceptional team, clearly explaining every stage and making me feel safe, supported, and guided. I could not have asked for a better outcome or a more professional and experienced legal team. ABV Solicitors deserve my highest recommendation to anyone in need of expert legal help. I am finally a free man and ready to move forward with my life.

Over a period of several months, I worked with Rishi Verma at ABV Solicitors. His advice was excellent and the matter was resolved successfully and quickly. He quickly understood the issues and provided pragmatic solutions. He also made himself available on short notice and was extremely responsive. I recommend him highly.

ABV have gone downhill. They are most definitely not the same firm we’ve known for years. Don’t get me started on the useless admins. Shocking! If anyone needs a heads up do not join and trust ABV. Big big mistake.
