Perfect from start to finish

Absolutely top notch professional service from start to finish. Both James and Olivia are excellent at what they do and both Ooze a huge personality. Treated with compassion and care throughout the entire process, James in particular had a real positive impact on my mental health throughout our relationship, very kind words during a very emotional and stressful time.

Pre-sentencing Advice

Was given James McAuley's details by my therapist as the go to man when dealing with certain offence types, and we had a thorough 'getting-to-know-you' meeting which showed that he definitely knew his stuff. Was friendly and engaging.

Thankyou for the Clarity and Guidance

In my first meeting with James, he explained and outlined the events that would take place regarding interviews and the court process. He also discussed what the sentencing and mitigating factors could be, if I received a conviction. This was a great relief as I had greatly overestimated what the consequences could be. He evidenced his experience and knowledge relating to my case throughout our meeting, which made me feel confident I could rely on his advice. James was also very friendly and easy to talk to. He was very understanding. I was told about some of the other cases that James had dealt with, cases similar to mine. He didn’t reveal any sensitive details, but knowing other people have been through the same thing makes you feel like you're not alone. I left our initial meeting with an understanding of the process that I could not have attained anywhere else. I was kept up-to-date throughout this whole experience and was given advice along the way. This included key information on activities I could undertake, which would act as mitigating factors when presented at court. Communication was always extremely prompt and professional. This was critical as my case ultimately became quite lengthy and complex, so I am glad I could rely on the expertise of James and ABR to facilitate the process. I'm confident that everything that could have been done for me was done. Thanks to James's help, I received the best possible outcome for my case.

Engaging and helpful

I had contacted James regarding an ongoing Police investigation and wanted to proactively seek pre charge engagement. I found James' team to be very approachable and prompt with responses to my queries. When meeting James over Teams I found him to be very approachable, very knowledgable but also very down to earth. I felt at ease immediately.

Police interview help and case guidance

We contacted Atifa Bhatti from ABR solicitors in late night about a serious allegation. She was very prompt and patient in giving us advice. We contacted her many times in the day before police interview, she was very approachable and provided us with the right advice. She helped us in the interview and gave excellent advice. I would rate her very highly.

Police Station Help

Atifa was very helpful and understanding of my situation and helped me get through the ordeal. She helped explain the situation and what to expect very clearly and making it very easy for me to understand the situation. She has been very helpful and kind throughout the process and explained every question I asked in a professional and kind manner even when she was tired and it was 2am. I certainly would recommend having her as your solicitor to help you out.
