Crime/ Criminal Defence

I’m a free man

From section 4 (AM)to GBH section 18, to GBH section 20 and then acquitted because of self defence was the journey I experienced. Thanks to Akhtar from ABV Solicitors who advised me clearly throughout the entire case and assured that he would do his best to assist me on my defence. This made me make the right decisions so I never gave up or took a plea deal, my case was very serious because of the charges against me. The prosecution was very assertive from the start and I thought there was no hope for me , until I went to trial and beat the case on a not guilty verdict in all counts. What a rollercoaster of events well done to ABV Solicitors thank you for getting me through this stressful and difficult journey , I am now a free man Thank you very much Isaac Amoo

Perfect outcome

It started like a nightmare, it happened over night. Rushing to find a good firm and a good solicitor we came across ABV solicitors. Our case was difficult, stressful and draining. Our hopes were shattered, and we were expecting a high sentence. In this stressful process all ABV was asking for was patience… to be patient, something that can be very difficult to control when you are under pressure. They gave us honest, clear advice, they spoke to us like a friend and took time to explain our questions as we were confused with everything going on. They were calm and collected and gave us confidence. After 6 months of intense tension we were acquitted in our self defence trial with no guilty verdict to a gbh section 18 charge. As I am typing this review, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness to the team who worked this case. Huge thanks to Akhtar in achieving this success. Best wishes, Ana and Isaac

Crime/ Criminal Defence

My liberty and livelihood saved

I was represented by Somsul Hoque @ ABV Solicitors. I was charged with a serious criminal matter and if convicted, I would lose my liberty, livelihood and my status in the UK. Somsul was always available to reassure me and provide me with good advice. Somsul prepared my case meticulously using all his experience and expertise in preparing my case. As the case boiled down to my testimony and the testimony of the complaint, Somsul spent a lot of time preparing me to give evidence at court. At Trial the jury believed me and as a result acquitted me of all charges. It was the most difficult time of my life and thanks to Somsul i got through it. I would recommend Somsul to anyone who may find themselves in the predicament i was in.

I would leave more stars if I could! They looked beyond the crime and took the time to understand me. Sunita worked around my work hours for my best interests. From the first moment she told me I wouldn’t be alone …. From her research to the barrister she chose (who was exceptional and informative) she was there through it all! Compassionate and kind. To the very end I never felt alone and will forever be grateful to the constant support.

A false allegation was made against me so I turned to abv solicitors. Claire helped me with my case. She handled the case professionally and diligently and as well as being efficient she was also understanding of the mental health implications dealing with a false allegation brings. It is over now thank god but thank you Claire for you help and professionalism. I certainly recommend her and abv

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to ABV Solicitors for their exceptional support and representation during my recent case involving a charge of Possession With Intent to Supply Class B (Cannabis). The professionalism, expertise, and dedication demonstrated throughout the entire process were outstanding. I am particularly thankful to Fergus, whose guidance proved invaluable from the very beginning. He provided clear, thoughtful advice and was consistently supportive at every stage of the proceedings. His calm, knowledgeable approach helped me understand my options, prepare effectively, and navigate what was an incredibly stressful and uncertain period in my life. Thanks to the hard work and commitment of Fergus and the ABV Solicitors team, I received a 9-month suspended sentence. I am deeply grateful for this outcome and relieved to have been given the opportunity to move forward without a custodial sentence. I wholeheartedly recommend ABV Solicitors to anyone in need of professional, reliable, and compassionate legal representation. Their expertise and dedication truly made a profound difference in my case.

A client

Fergus here from ABV has been great to work with. He has helped my friends, family and myself to his full capacity. Always straight forward and can always rely on him to get the job done. He has helped with very serious cases from helping me walk free for a shooting at the old Bailey to also getting me off the hook for a county lines drug case. If anyone is looking for a solicitor/firm to work with, I highly recommend Fergus here from ABV. 10/10 Customer Service

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.

To anyone contemplating using this solicitors I can highly recommend Fergus Harrington. Fergus has recently concluded a case for me which ultimatley through his experience and knowledge ended up being dropped. I cannot thank him enough, his attention to detail is second to none! If I were to need a solictior again I would not hesitate to contact Fergus. Fergus is very proffesional and explained each step of the process very clearly alongside keeping me up to date with any changes. Thank you Fergus!
