"Ara has provided excellent legal support and dedication throughout my case. Her assistance was invaluable at every stage of the process. From the very beginning, Ara was there for me. She provided crucial help during my first date at the police station, guiding me through the charging process with professionalism and clarity. Her presence and expertise made a stressful situation much more manageable. Ara's proactive approach was evident in her handling of court proceedings. She actively followed up with the court to secure my first court date, keeping me informed and ensuring that my case progressed without unnecessary delays. What truly sets Ara apart is her commitment even after the case's positive outcome. She continues to assist me in recovering my property from the officer, demonstrating her thoroughness and dedication to her client's interests. Throughout the entire process, Ara has been knowledgeable, supportive, and efficient. Her expertise in navigating the legal system and her personable nature made a significant difference in my experience."

Client Review

"Through such a distressful period of time in my life I’ve felt incredibly worried at the idea of having no control of my future and how uncertain that could look for me. Being completely oblivious to how these situations unfold, the only thing I felt in my control was the selection of a solicitor I could believe would stick by me and ensure I’d be looked after for the foreseeable future, and after a few telephone conversations and emails it became evident to me that Holborn Adam’s only felt right for me. I would like to say a massive thank you for how my case has been handled so far, right from speaking to Fay who was clear, receptive to my situation and on hand constantly to respond to any issues or concerns I raised, through to Ara who is now assisting me throughout this lengthy process. Ara has been an incredible professional in her field baring the upmost respect and due diligence for handling my case so far, as I imagine the same level of work ethic is bestowed to her other clients. She has delivered clear and concise information on-time, kept myself and my family in the loop every step of the way and has generally been lovely to speak with. Following my arrest I endured the worst week, and have been trying to stay positive and forget about the situation to be able to move on with my life. With the support from Ara, I’ve felt much more at ease with how things are going and can only remain hopeful for what is to come in the future."

Client Review

"I am so pleased I and my wife found, and I am now being represented and supported by Holborn Adams on a very serious but malicious and false allegation that has already wrecked our mental health and family relationships even before a charge has been brought. After the initial engagement with Fay and Andrew we felt our nightmare situation was understood and we felt in safe hands. Working with Ara since then has given us hope we could get through this awful situation; she is knowledgeable, passionate for her work and goes beyond to understand and work with the emotional rollercoaster our life has become through supporting us as people as well as the technicalities of the case and Pre-Charge Representation. We are halfway through this and with Ara, Andrew and Council we are praying for the right outcome and feel the Holborn Adams team, led by Ara is the right team to achieve this. Thank you."

Client Review

"Many thanks for your excellent work on my behalf. You were so thorough, persistent, fair and transparent. I shall always say, “I had the best possible solicitor” to fight my cause. Hopefully you're as lucky as I was to get Charlotte Farrugia & Fay Ashton. They are amazing and definitely went that extra bit towards us winning. Thank you lovely’s."

Client Review

"Sorry it's taken a while for me to get back to you regarding the great news about the case being dropped against Ethan. I wanted to thank you for all your efforts on Ethan's behalf and the time you took to ensure he was comfortable with everything going on. Your warmth and competent manner gave us confidence that we were in safe hands- and you did not disappoint us in this. Thanks again, we are eternally grateful."

Client Review

"My first contact with HA was with Fay and this was at 11:30pm! She set up a call as I was scared and worried about my future after some false accusations. I had no idea what to do next and who to turn to. This changed when I spoke to Fay, she reassured me and made me feel like she had my back and would sort out this problem. Throughout the whole process, she has been a massive emotional support for me, she will never understand how valuable that was, at such a bad time in my life. She is always on hand to respond or to speak to, a true professional and you can demonstrably see how much she cares about her clients. Thank you so much Fay! Then we move onto Adam, he is a powerhouse and clearly set the direction of the case and the points we needed to make at the right times. He is very clear and articulate about what the correct process/plan is, and this has proven to be correct on many occasions. He could see what was coming before it happened and had a plan in advance to head it off! I felt so reassured with him handling my case. His strategy and problem solving skills are the best I have seen! He is an absolute must have in your corner at all times! On top of being one of the best in the game globally he is very down to earth and really genuinely cares for his clients and I would now consider Adam a friend and I look forward to being able to repay him (and the team) at the earliest opportunity. Throughout the case I have also worked very closely with Geena. She is unbelievably good at her job and will have a great career. From the first time I met her, she really took time to understand me and also the case. She offered her perspective on how things were unfolding, and this was invaluable. To read her pre charge reps is akin to a work of art, it flows perfectly, raises the points in a correct manner and points to the obvious without being patronising. She is not only an exceptional lawyer but has the empathy to go alongside it. A theme that runs through the core of HA, Geena truly cares about the clients and the outcome. This is evident not only from when we got the NFA, the obvious joy and elation they all had but also the ongoing support they offered and continue to offer me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. Without question the hardest and darkest time of my life and what a team to trust!"

Client Review

"I just wanted to extend a note of thank you in dealing with my recent case. From what was literally one of the worst weeks of my life, you guys offered fantastic support - Andrew, from our initial phone calls you came across as much more understanding and caring about the situation than any of the other solicitors I spoke to and that made a big difference to me in informing my choice to work with you. Ara, you have been fantastic also- from early phone calls and face to face meetings your level of care and reassurance has been superb - always available at the end of the phone or whatsapp, the pre charge process you walked me through to drafting my letter of apology was the correct approach to make and ended with the best result for me in my situation. Accompanying me to interview and final sign-off at the police station was much appreciated too- you helped make what was a mentally traumatic process much more bearable and understandable - thank you. And Ria, thank you for the time at the station and guiding me through the whole ‘no-comment’ process- the right choice to make in the situation. So, a huge thanks for helping me through this, and hopefully I never have to make a call to you guys again!"

Client Review

"I write to confirm willingly that Ara has gone above and beyond her duty of care. Her due diligence was paramount and conscientious. Ara is an asset to any company and couldn't recommend her anymore."

Client Review

"I would just like to thank you and Andrew again for all the help and support you have given Connor, Maria and myself over the last couple of days. Truly appreciate everything you all done. Amazing team."

Client Review

"After a serious allegation was made, I instructed Holborn Adams who made the experience the least stressful it could be and the personal touch from the case manager, answering all my questions was phenomenal. They engaged with the police in all contact and made me feel better about the situation and got the results to match. 10/10 would use them again if any issues arise and would recommend to anyone. Above and beyond in every measure. Very quick and efficient service. "

Client Review

"Our lives were turned upside down when my son received through the post a letter to advise he had been charged with assault on a police officer. Words can not describe the stress and anxiety this caused to us as family. I searched long and hard for the best criminal lawyers to represent him and when I found Holborn Adams I made my initial call and spoke to Andrew and from that point I knew we had found the best. The team demonstrated absolute professionalism and their due diligence resulted in the prosecution dropping their charge on day 2 of the trial. It should never have gone to trial but at trial they were amazing. Reassuring, calm confident and honest. Ara was also brilliant and as a mum my stress levels were off the chart and she had such a nurturing and caring approach constantly checking in on me. Me and my son will be eternally grateful to them for helping us at the darkest times of our life and achieving the results and justified outcome. We can now move on with our lives. If you need a criminal lawyer don’t hesitate in appointing Holborn Adams."

Client Review

"Adam is a consummate professional. He is clinical in his ability to understand nuanced situations and has been extremely empathetic towards every person that he comes across. If he is not able to help he goes out of his way to connect someone in his network who can. I cannot recommend him enough."

Client Review

"From my recent experience in what was an intricate and complex case, Adam took it upon himself to personally attend to it and I was extremely grateful not only for the epitome of professionalism on display but also the dedication to find and craft the right way to prevail and win our case. Bravo and a heartfelt thank you for the amazing effort and result. Highly recommended "

Client Review

"Adam has taken me under his wing, shared his contacts and has started mentoring me since I moved to Dubai in September. He is an extremely good communicator, making things clear and concise, but more importantly he is easy to talk to, friendly and in the short time I’ve known him, I know he will be a friend for life. He’s got a good heart and I know he only wants the best for me and my future. Thank you for your continued help and support."

Client Review

"I would like to take this opportunity to praise and acknowledge Ara’s support, kindness, empathy and knowledge during the time that my husband engaged with your services, just prior to his plea through to sentencing.

 Ara has been consistent and thorough during this process and has taken time to support me as the secondary victim in this matter. She has listened and taken on board my worries and concerns as well as explaining in lay terminology about the judicial system. She has also understood the impact and trauma (of my husbands case) this has had on myself and my daughter and she has advocated for our voices to be heard when for all intents and purposes we are irrelevant to the  judicial system.

 I am very grateful that Ara was assigned as the paralegal for my husbands case, she has gone above and beyond to support all of us. She really is a huge asset to your workforce."

Client Review

"I am writing to say thank you very much to you and everyone at HA for all you have done to lead, guide and assist me in my case to date.   Right from the start - when we spoke just before Christmas 2022 - I knew I had made the correct decision in choosing HA.  Thank you to you personally for setting me up with Akram and Geena, and then taking my case back over at the critical time, which I am sure was crucial to achieving the result we did.    Your experience, clarity, approachability and wise counsel have all been so important  - and much appreciated.   I would like to place on record to you as a Director my appreciation of all the professional guidance and personal support I received from Geena. Geena has been simply outstanding - consistently on top of everything, meticulous, calm, clear, approachable, easily contactable.... thank you   The choice of Guy as our expert counsel was indeed well judged and decisive. (Is he aware of the outcome please?)    I am sure I am one of your smaller clients. I was never made to feel anything other than my case was your firm's priority. I would, of course, be happy to offer a review somewhere (anonymously) if that would be helpful."

Client Review

"I had the unfortunate experience of being accused of something that I didn’t do, I had never had an issue with the police before and the whole experience was daunting and sent me to a dark place and I felt lost. In step Holborn Adams, my first contact was with Fay, she was a very calm reassuring voice and someone who clearly cared about the client. She has been with me throughout the process and she was as pleased as I was with the outcome I could hear the sincerity in her voice. Her availability was constant and that helped me massively particularly in the early days. She fully had my back in all of this and I will forever be grateful. I then spoke to Adam, who has taken responsibility for the case and the outcome and he is incredible, he really knows his stuff, clearly strives for the best outcome and is a natural leader and winner. When he speaks, it’s with authority and reassurance that you’re in the right hands. His knowledge of the legal system, police, CPS, is second to none. His strategy was perfect and he managed to time this with almost telepathic accuracy about what was next and what we would do. Geena is a crucial part of the team and one that combines professional excellence with empathy and compassion for the client. I really felt that she was fully invested in my case with me and that makes such a big difference. Her work has been phenomenal and she was integral to the outcome. I will also now take advice from HA about any other issues I have. They are by far the best firm out there and the team I worked with are like my guardian angels! Thank you all so much you will never know how grateful I am."

Client Review

"After the initial consultation with Fay, I was amazed at the level of care and professionalism towards the matter and this was a massive selling point to instructing you to act on my behalf as negligence on a local solicitors' part made me feel uneasy. Fay made me feel positive about the situation rather than in the dark and explained everything involved very concisely. After instructing, she engaged fully with the police on my behalf and arranged for Ravi and Adam to attend the Police Interview in Newquay, which I must add, both were phenomenal, so please pass on thanks where due. Before the interview, on many occasions outside of Office hours, Fay contacted me to discuss the case and prepare me best so for the interview. I felt much more confident before the interview after Fay's personal touch and thoroughness - she left no stone unturned. After an allegation this seriousness which would have drastic impacts on my personal and Business life, this is the level of service I needed, and thanks to Fay this was achieved and then some.  After the interview, she still engaged with the police to get the results we wanted and I appreciate all the efforts of the firm. You have a lot of great assets at your company - many thanks go to Fay, Ravi and Adam. "

Client Review

"I wanted to contact you directly to provide feedback regarding my recent experience of your firm.   Following some preliminary research I came across Holborn Adams where Fay contacted me and over the course of a few phone calls was able to explain the forthcoming process and my options. Fay was very knowledgeable and reassured me that Holborn Adams was the right choice. Fay was also very responsive and happy to answer my calls and messages at any time and I am very grateful for her help and guidance at this stage. Once I had instructed Holborn Adams, Ara reached out to me and arranged the initial meeting with my solicitor Ravi. I felt like Ara and Ravi really got to know me as a person and left no stone unturned. After this initial meeting Ara was in regular contact with me, updating me regularly and taking time to ensure I understood the processes. I felt incredibly supported by Ara who delivered a tailored service of the very best quality. She reassured me at every stage of the process and took my personal circumstances into account. Ara is a true asset to your organisation, obviously Holborn Adams have an exceptional legal reputation, but the customer care delivered by Ara was really, what I feel, set your company apart from your competitors. Ara not just considered me as a client, but as a professional, husband and father. I believe that Ara has a very bright future ahead of her whom it has been a privilege to work with."

"I would like to say a huge thank you for employing the fantastic ladies Fay, Ria and Ara of who have been amazing from start to finish. I contacted Holborn Adams and spoke to Fay after the police attempted to arrest me early morning of the 23rd September 2023. They didn’t as I am disabled, however from my first contact with Fay was amazing. She came to my home to discuss my issue and I found her to be extremely knowledgeable regarding the law, professional and most of all caring and reassuring. Fay asked Ria to accompany me for a voluntary interview at the police station which she did and I found her also to be of the same ilk as Fay. Ria was fantastic . She was reassuring, legally knowledgeable and talked me through the procedures of which I followed to the letter. Ria was above all such a lovely solicitor to have help me. She was caring and above all answered my questions and explained things to me in layman’s terms. I was in extremely good hands and was and still am so grateful for her help that evening. Fay is a superb solicitor. She has dealt with every emotion possible from me over the false accusations brought against me and has coped so well. She has always kept in touch and has been there for me every step of the way. Again she has spoken to me in laymen’s terms, explained things to me in detail about what is happening and the next steps. She had been professional throughout the whole process. Ara has taken statements and has been truly amazing, yet again patiently explaining things and being understanding. Again totally professional. Last night I got a group call from Fay and Ara with the most amazing news ever that the police have closed the case with no further action. The ladies were so obviously happy that I had been cleared of these accusations and their sheer pleasure and happiness informing me was truly obvious. I cannot thank Holborn Adams for all they have done for me. Everyone I have come across at Holborn Adams has been so professional, caring, understanding, knowledgeable and most of all patient. I will never forget these ladies and for their belief in me that I was innocent and for all their hard work. I would definitely use your company again (I hope I never have to though obviously) and if I ever come across anyone else in my life who needs your help I will definitely be recommending your firm. I cannot fault the service I have received from Fay, Ria and Ara. The relief they have brought me with their hard work is immense. The ladies are a credit to your company. You should be extremely proud of them! They are a definite asset. Thank you Holborn Adams from the bottom of my heart for pushing for justice of innocent people. Many thanks"

"I want to take a moment to provide some feedback for Ara and Fay who helped me immensely on a false allegation of harassment and stalking filed on me. From the moment I got in touch with Fay she was very professional and heard me out and then she assured me with all the options and gave me great peace of mind with her in depth knowledge and she put me in touch with Ara. To start with, Ara is a great asset for your firm, I was very confused and in such a stressed state when I met her. She had great patience and listened to the whole events of happenings and noted down all  the points. She assured me based on the points and events that we got a very strong case to put forward to the Crown Prosecution Service. After our meeting, Ara chased them to get the correspondence and kept me informed with regular updates and process. Communication and regular updates gave me great confidence during these tough times. We want to thank Ara and Fay as a family for their guidance and help during our tough times. Eventually, the case got dropped by the police and Ara called me over the phone straight away on a Sunday evening just to give me a great relief and peace, which is very much appreciated. I would recommend Ara any day to my friends and family

Thank you so much again for all your help and guidance through these tough times, Ara"

Client Review

"As I was saying last night, I was very impressed Ravi and the way he helped me. He turned up and knew his stuff right away. He was visibly annoyed that I got arrested and he said to me that “he will sort this and I’ve got your back”, it meant a lot as I believed him. He was persistent in challenging the arresting officer to which when were alone the arresting officer said “I'm not happy putting my name to this arrest” , he then went to try and get it overturned before coming back unsuccessfully but again reiterated to me that I should stick with Ravi and listen to him as “ I have a good one out there”. He said he had seen loads in his 20 years and he would want Ravi representing him!   He was really good in the interview, argued our case well and was keen to get a resolution on the day, which unfortunately he couldn’t. He built a good bond with the interviewing officer which had she been able to make a decision for us, I think would have been favourable   I was really impressed with how much he cared, I genuinely felt that he was there looking after me.   I just hope he can finish it off now for me!"

Client Review

"I would like to praise the work Ara has done on my case, she has shown a drive to respond to both mine and my wife’s queries on my case and responded quickly to all our questions. She has come back with complete and knowledgeable answers through these many hard months. She has gone the extra mile to assist us and shown a devotion to her job and is a credit to your company. She has given us a good guide as what to expect at each stage of the process and I know she has been on hand for me personally, constantly checking in with me on how I was doing mentally. She has also done the same for my wife which I have appreciated even more as shows she understands the wider impact of such cases. She is thoroughly professional and deals with each step with a level and analytical head, all the while understanding the emotional side to the situation. I think she has done a stellar job and have only praise for her work. "

I contacted Holborn Adams and spoke to Fay after the police attempted to arrest me early morning of the 23rd September 2023.

"It has been a long last 2 years with many ups and downs and we are happy that it has finally come to conclusion, especially with the result of the final hearing which meant I was not made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order due to your hard work and expertise arguing against such an order being imposed. It will no doubt make life much easier not having another restriction placed onto me and my family. I cannot thank Ria, Andrew and Tara McCarthy (counsel) enough for all the compassion, caring attitude, expertise and patience over the last 2 years. It warms my heart to know that there are humans like yourselves who really care about the people they represent and you have all fought for me with my interest at heart. Both myself and my wife are most grateful for all your care and expertise over the last 2 years. Once again, a big thank you to you all and there are not enough words to adequately describe our appreciation and gratitude for what you have done for us over the last 2 years."

"Holborn Adams were simply amazing throughout an exceptionally difficult and stressful 15 months when I was facing serious allegations of professional misconduct. Right from the first phone calls with Andrew Ford over the Christmas period in 2022 I knew I had made the right decision in turning to them. As a team they supported me most impressively at all times - I was always aware that they were fighting my corner and after any conference or conversation I was left feeling that I was their most important client! Andrew led my case with all his experience, wise counsel and incisive thinking; and Geena - well, Geena was simply outstanding - clear thinking, meticulous, creative, personable, and easily contactable - she was a star! Thank you to all at HA!"

"I would like to thank Akram and Ria for their invaluable assistance when they helped my son who had been falsely accused by his former partner. They were incredibly supportive and positive throughout the whole process and made sure we knew what all the steps would be along the way. Both Akram and Ria were very good at keeping in touch and calming our frayed nerves even if that meant repeating things they had already told us. They always had time for us and always called us back at the earliest opportunity if we didn't get through right away. They were extremely thorough in their preparation and their representations. This combined with their expertise and experience shone through and they managed to clear my sons name before things got to trial. I would happily have them on my side again but I hope that will never be necessary."

Client

"Geena provided a first class service from start to finish! She has a super clear communication style so it made the whole process very easy to understand and she would always keep me in the loop with any relevant updates. I could really tell that she put in a lot of hard work and went the extra mile for me. I really cannot thank her enough for all the time and effort that she undertook to achieve the desired outcome."

Client

"My family's lives were shattered by a police investigation triggered by a malicious and false accusation against my son. Doing something that a day before would seem absurd, I found myself searching for criminal lawyers and looking at the Holborn Adams website - perhaps you are now finding yourself in a similar situation. If that is the case, then I very strongly recommend you immediately employ them on your behalf. From the first call I had with Akram he filled me with confidence with his professionalism, knowledge and intelligence. Together with the equally brilliant Ria they worked diligently on our behalf to see us through this nightmare to ensure justice was done and we could move on with our lives. In addition to their hard work and professionalism they showed real empathy in what we were going through, there was always a feeling that they were "on our side" which went beyond just doing their job."

Client

"I am writing to express my utmost admiration and appreciation for the outstanding administrative support provided by Fay Ashton, a valued member of your team at Holborn Adams Limited. I believe it is important to bring to your attention the remarkable professionalism and administrative skills Fay consistently displayed throughout my legal case. From the very beginning, Fay's responsiveness and efficiency were truly impressive. She promptly answered all my phone calls, emails, and messages, often responding almost instantly.

Counsel Review

" Fay has been working on my case for a few months now, and I would just like to say that she has been great to work with and helped me a lot. She has responded quickly to my questions, pointed me in the right direction, kept me informed of the case, and spoken to probation to help sort things. The case was finished this morning and she met me in court. Without her things might not have gone the way it did. I would like to thank her again for help on my case, and would highly recommend her to others."

Counsel Review

"I write to express my sincere appreciation to Holborn Adams for the outstanding work carried out by one of your team members, Fay Ashton. Fay’s unique dedication and exceptional support provided during complex and delicate cases have been truly remarkable. I have had the pleasure of working with Fay on several occasions, and I must say that her unwavering dedication towards client care, and resolve in difficult situations, are impressive. Recently, as just one of many examples, we worked on the case of REDACTED together, where Fay's hard work and professionalism played a crucial role in securing a suspended sentence for a conviction of REDACTED. Her exceptional resourcefulness and organisational skills were evident throughout the case. Fay's work is nothing short of comprehensive. It is invaluable in allowing me to focus on research and preparation of the argument, rather than deciphering incomprehensible documents or trying to work out the brief. Moreover, Fay has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that clients are signposted and connected with appropriate resources to navigate what is usually an incredibly distressing time. This kind of care is irreplaceable and means that Fay and Holborn Adams’ work is truly positively impacting clients’ lives. Fay's holistic approach to cases has been impressive and inspirational, and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life is remarkable. I hope my correspondence gives you a flavour of what has been my broader experience working with Fay, albeit that it will not do it fully justice! She has truly done some incredible work for the clients, and this has undoubtedly positively impacted all of those around her. Mr Dominic Bardill Barrister"

"I have been instructed by Geena on the case of REDACTED in relation to making PCR. They have been interviewed in relation to allegations of rape and sexual assault. She has conducted the case in a very professional and thorough manner. In particular she has undertaken the following: - She has provided a very full proof of evidence, brief and disclosure documents. - she has obtained witness statements for interested parties in the case. They are well drafted and address all the relevant issues in the case. - she has always responded immediately to any requests/ enquiries that I have asked her to undertake. - she replied to my PCR and suggested a number of further points that could be considered. The points raised were relevant and well thought through. In my experience, it is unusual for a fee earner to positively engage with my submissions once they have been drafted. - she had a positive relationship with the client in the conferences that I have had with him. She addressed any concerns and issues that he had and made him feel at ease throughout the meetings. - She has been courteous, polite and professional in all my correspondence with her. I would not normally comment upon the actions and engagement of the legal representatives with whom I work. However, given Geena’s exceptionally professional, competent and helpful engagement in the case, I thought it needed recognising and bringing to the attention of the management in the firm. The client had received the best possible representation through the considerable efforts of Geena. Raglan Ashton Barrister"

Raglan Ashton – Barrister

"I have been meaning to get in touch for a while to write to praise Fay's work on the REDACTED case at Snaresbrook. As you may have heard, we got a ridiculously good sentence in that case and I thought that Fay's work had a lot to do with it. She put together a great mitigation bundle with a large number of character references (about 10 or so I think) that she had herself taken. She also brought a good attitude to the case and worked hard on it. I will always mention it if someone goes the extra mile on a case and I feel that Fay did on this one. Kevin Dent Barrister"

Kevin Dent – Barrister

"A winning team that manages to combine phenomenal legal expertise with real empathy for their client. Their knowledge and skill on the legal front makes you glad to have them on your side, whilst they manage your expectations and go above and beyond in helping to navigate what can be, for everyone, a traumatic experience. Our family will be forever grateful for all their hard work in achieving a life changing result for us."

Client

"Earlier this year I found myself the subject of a Police investigation into a sexual offence against a child, as a result of a 3rd party acting on incorrect information. There just aren’t the words to describe the impact such an accusation can have on every aspect of your life and wellbeing. I felt I could probably defend this myself, given the fact that the "child" in question was actually 22, in a consensual relationship and of course, unwilling to support the investigation. However, this still had the potential to blow up on me and affect my medical practice, my career, my reputation and our family relationships. And we all know how social media treats males accused of sexual crimes. I knew it would be wise to get legal help, and I started researching various solicitors specialising in sexual crimes. I contacted several firms, many of which suggested I contact them when the Police turned up or if I was arrested. Not really the approach I was after. What a refreshing difference it was then having Andrew Ford from Holborn Adams arrange a chat about my case. He was the only solicitor to come forward with a proactive approach, explaining the options and strategy I should consider. He understood the impact this could have and the need to keep this out of the public domain, protect my reputation, career, prevent this from getting to court and the involvement of my regulator, etc. He explained that Crisis Management was something they excelled at, and it was an easy decision to instruct them to take care of me. I opted for a fixed fee package with Andrew, a barrister (Dom) and Ria teaming up to look after me. They quickly arranged a meeting in their secluded and very private offices in the country, and over a few hours they quizzed me on every aspect of my life, the case, and then discussed where we might see issues and how to preempt those. It’s quite difficult opening up about all manner of experiences in the past and present, but they were non-judgemental and I felt comfortable immediately with them. One of the advantages of a fixed fee package is that at no point, did I ever feel they were clock watching. They were always willing to spend time to discuss and answer my queries. When the Police came round to my home, they were on the phone straight away advising me, and made themselves available at weekends too. It was still a horrendous situation to be in, but the guidance and proactive stance helped me get through this experience, and very quickly the Police dropped the investigation. Even so, they are still working to ensure that the information the Police hold is factually correct and that the person who instigated this is made aware in no uncertain terms that she got this wrong and there will be serious consequences if she doesn’t keep this confidential. I’m impressed that they’re still actively working to manage this and tie up any loose ends. There’s one final point I want to make. And that is that they genuinely cared and were worried about my health. When you get accused of a sexual offence, you don’t want to talk to anyone you know about it. But keeping this inside is destructive. Even the barrister took quite some time to talk about getting help with a therapist, recognise the damage this has and continues to do to my mental health. I guess the fact that I’m writing this at 2:30am having seen my therapist earlier today, says a lot. So in summary, I cannot commend highly enough Andrew and Ria at Holborn Adams, and their legal counsel. If you find yourself in a similar position, and particularly if you are a professional person, engage this team quickly. And look after yourself. This is unfortunately a life changing experience but at least stack the odds in your favour with experienced and professional help."

"I just wanted to let you know that Akram has been fantastic throughout and he is such a hard worker and a credit to your company. Akram has always been approachable and has become a friend and someone who has supported me when I was stressed Thank you Akram and Holborn Adams "

Client

"Having called Holborn Adams regarding a matter of legal representation, I spoke with Andrew Ford, Senior Solicitor, at Holborn Adams. Immediately I was reassured as to a way forward in representing myself towards the criminal investigation I found myself to be under! Within 24 hrs a letter of intent was sent to the investigation body and a protocol was set out by Andrew Ford in order to establish representation for myself and to legally outline the rights and legal obligation of the investigating officers. An outcome of no criminal conviction was secured some months later and no charge was sought. Case is now resolved to my complete satisfaction and due to the absolute professional approach and very knowledgeable of laws that applied to my particular investigation. A thoroughly professional team of lawyers at Holborn Adams of which Andrew Ford is part of! And I'm very appreciative and thankful for his hard and stellar work."

Client

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to both you and Counsel for your sound advice and general handling of my case throughout. Hiring you was the best decision I’ve made in a long time, despite the fact it’s been a year of admittedly bad decisions otherwise! You’re a credit to your firm and I’ve no doubt I wouldn’t have had the outcome I did without your guidance. Again, thank you so much for everything and please pass on my thanks to Counsel also. "

Client

Client

"I just wanted to thank you sincerely for your help and support over a difficult and stressful time. It was a great result, mostly due I’m sure, to your persuasive dialogues with the DWP, without which things would have escalated much further. D extends her warm thanks and gratitude too. Her poor health and state of mind was my main concern during this and, as always, you were very supportive and compassionate to her needs. "

Client

"Andrew Ford & Ria Ashcroft worked extensively over a long period of time on our son's case. At all times Andrew & Ria remained very professional & made themselves available for meetings in person, via zoom & phone calls. We were particularly impressed with their attention to detail, & they always met timescales & followed through on tasks for the case. We were kept informed at all stages, which at times included contact over a weekend. From the beginning of our contact with Andrew & Ria, we felt we could trust them with the case & believe they truly care about the people they represent. Andrew & Ria showed they cared about our son & our family & remained non-judgemental at all times. Their care while representing our son showed in everything they did. Anyone considering a lawyer for advice or to represent them , we can't recommend Andrew & Ria & this firm enough."

Client

As soon as I signed as a client I felt confident I would receive the best possible legal care and they didn’t let me down.

Akram was particularly attentive, he kept me updated, answered any questions I had promptly and I genuinely feel as though he and the team cared. I am glad I chose this company and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them"

"The world of professional boxing can be a dark & dangerous place for a fighter, not as much in the ring as behind the scenes. Working with Adam gives me the peace of mind I need to concentrate fully on my job in the gym & under the lights on fight night. "

Frazer Clarke – Super Heavyweight Olympic Medalist

"I have worked with Adam since his early days & mine too. Watching him flourish in the boxing world has been a privilege. He deserves it, as his passion & desire to look after fighters is second to none. An incredible legal mind & a heavy hitter on the law."

Frank Smith – Matchroom Boxing, CEO

They always keep us up to date on everything and work fast. I believe the case is now in good hands. We are extremely grateful. So once again Thank you to your team."

Client

"Thank you so much for all your help, this news is welcome beyond belief. I would like to thank yourself especially, but also backed up by Holborn Adams for the timely, sensitive, proactive and highly skilled advice and guidance given. You left no stone unturned which I believe was crucial to the successful outcome of the case. The stress our family has been under has been immense but you have acted with such humanity and compassion it’s made a very difficult time more bearable, and I really thank you for that. I spent a lot of time researching and talking to other solicitors before committing to yourself. This decision to choose yourself was based on my feeling that you understood the wider picture and nuances of the case and would give 100% which you did. Thank you once more, you have helped change our lives immeasurably for the better."

Client

"Just wanted to let you know that I finally received the letter from DBS and I’m not going to be barred! I’m so relieved. Please note I realise this was all down to your hard work of which I will be forever grateful. Please accept my wholeheartedly appreciated efforts on your part.

Client

"I am pleased that I used Holborn Adams and their professional criminal defence team as my legal counsel during a very stressful and unclear time in my life. Head of crime - Andrew Ford dealt with my case in a professional and discreet manner which is what I needed at the time. The team worked tirelessly and as expected a positive result was achieved in my case."

Client

"Needed a solicitor due to a dbs minded letter. Found Holborn Adams on line which deals in specific cases like mine. Holborn Adams agreed to act on my behalf, and I found her to be approachable and very knowledgeable. Throughout the case they kept me informed and did exactly what she said she would and on schedule. To summarise my experience very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend Holborn Adams to all my family and friends."

Client

"It was by chance I stumbled upon Holborn Adams and Andrew Ford picked up my call. I am beyond fortunate I did so. Upon initial contact with Andrew, I was sure this was the right firm to represent me. Andrew showed expertise and thorough knowledge in the field I needed representation in and was patient and comforting when I explained my situation. He was confident that with effective pre-charge representation , there was a strong chance my case would not result in any charge being applied by the CPS. He was correct and with a well complied pre-charge case file, my case was dropped and resulted in no further action. I cannot thank Andrew enough for his hard work, professionalism and reassurance through this highly distressing time for myself and my family. I also am thankful and grateful to Carrie Bray, who works alongside Andrew, for her hard work, empathy and kind approach she undertook when dealing with my case. I would recommend this team and Holborn Adams to anyone looking for excellent representation, coupled with a team who are always accessible and understanding of the stress attached with legal proceedings."

Client

"My partner and I would like to thank Holborn Adams for their legal advice, effort and time on our case. Our choosing Andrew to represent us was the best decision we could have made. Without their extensive knowledge and skills, the positive outcome we reached could not have happened. We would not hesitate to recommend the Holborn Adams team and would use the firm in the future, if we needed its expertise again. Once again, a big thank you to Andrew for being patient, friendly and calm with us throughout—from the start until the very end of our case."

Client

"I happened across Holborn Adams by a stroke of luck, or fate. I am so grateful and thankful that I did, as the support, help and advice I received from day one of engaging with them, and throughout the whole ordeal has been a blessing. I was falsely accused by an ex partner of serious accusations. I had previously appointed another firm who, it seemed, were happy for my case to go trial. Some time had passed under the guidance (or lack of) my previous solicitor, and the trial was drawing closer and closer. I knew something wasn't right with my previous representations so I looked elsewhere and appointed HA. From the very first meeting I knew I was in safe hands. Adam is a true professional in his field and know the law inside out. They helped close down my case, meaning there was no trial. We worked together to gather evidence which proved to close the case down. 12 months ago my world was bleak, I felt a tremendous amount of pressure and stress, however every appointment I had with Simon/Adam helped to reassure me and took away many of my concerns. I couldn't recommend HA highly enough. If you are facing similar issues, give them a call immediately, you won't regret that decision."

Client

"Adam has always been incredibly professional, even when we worked in opposing teams on big fights in the past! Adam’s drive & attention to detail is second to none. The support Adam has given to myself & my team over the years has been invaluable. I know how important it is to have an experienced & highly professional lawyer in your corner & I’m confident that we will be working together for many years to come."

Shane McGuigan – Boxing Coach

"I’ve had the privilege of having Adam in my team throughout my career, making sure every decision outside the ring is taken care of. His work ethic, drive & attention to detail is second to none. This gives me the peace of mind to focus solely on my sport, knowing everything is taken care of in the background. He’s not only a lawyer but a friend who is always in your corner."

Scott Quigg – Former WBA Champion of the World

"When my partner was wrongfully arrested it felt like my world had collapsed around me. I was alone, fearful and lost. The rumours circulating affected my health and my business as people believed what the police were saying. The constant contact and reassurance from Holborn Adams, who were always there and willing to help, enabled me to carry on and thankfully we are now out of the other side. Nobody listens and nobody cares when you face something like this. But Holborn Adams do – they put their clients best interests at heart. Thank you so much to all at Holborn Adams, especially Adam Rasul."

Client

"I am writing to express my appreciation for the help, advice and support me and my family received from Holborn Adams during my wrongful arrest last year. I was at a real low with the false allegations against me and the unwillingness of the police to look at alternative facts and evidence. Having you in my corner, to keep my spirits up when I was imprisoned and things were looking bleak, helped stop me from going under. The fact that you were there for me and my family at all hours, always willing to advise, is and always will be, appreciated more than words can express. I would recommend you to anyone suffering injustice or finding themselves on the wrong side of the law. "

Client

"As part of a team, you, Adam and Holborn Adams were all patient, friendly and professional providing an environment where in the most dire of circumstances there is a reassurance that a team is working to reach the best very outcome on your behalf. Importantly the human touch of support that is so critical in times of crisis never lapsed. I have no hesitation in recommending Holborn Adams with the strongest voice to anyone for high quality legal representation and a team who are dedicated to the very best outcome for their client."

Client

"In a time of crisis the initial phone call with Adam was exactly what was needed; calm reassurance with precise legal instructions that he made sure I understood in my emotive chaos. The step by step guide of how the arrest process would proceed and clear do and do nots as well as the traps not to fall into was absolutely invaluable as I had no knowledge or prior experience of the criminal justice system. I now understand due to the nature of the criminal justice system how critical and vital it is to have good quality legal advice at the earliest opportunity."

Client

"We made the best decision in choosing Holborn Adams to represent our son and we would have no hesitation in recommending Holborn Adams or using the Firm again if ever we needed to."

Client

"I would like to say a huge thank you for all your time and effort which has led to a very positive outcome. Your friendly, down to earth and non judgmental approach was much appreciated."

Client

"I would like to thank Natasha, Adam and Chris for the excellent job they did on my case. I really appreciate it and feel that without their input this wouldn’t have been a positive result."

Client

"Adam Rasul is a tremendously impressive and affable lawyer whom I would not hesitate to recommend for any corporate or financial crime matter."

Guy Williams, Senior Clerk 25 Bedford Row

"In this sport of boxing, there are as many battles outside the ring as there are between the ropes. I am glad to have Adam & his team in our corner for me & my fighters. Adam has done well with my fighters he has worked with & always does his best for whom he represents."

Joe Gallagher – Boxing Trainer & Manager

"Inside the boxing ring can be hard, but outside of it can be even harder. Knowing Adam has got my back along with his professional team gives me peace of mind that all things legal are in the best hands possible & under control. It isn’t just a job to Adam, He is also there for his love & passion for boxing whilst ensuring fighters are looked after in the best way possible. "

Callum Johnson – British Light-Heavyweight

"I have watched Adam have the “backs” of many fighters & coaches across the world. It is hard to find a good lawyer in boxing who knows their stuff, Adam is relentless & always fights to win. His knowledge is exceptional & his love for boxing sets him apart from other professionals I have come across in my career. I have turned to him for help in the past & he executes his work perfectly. He is also a good friend."

Anthony Crolla – Former Professional Boxer

"Law is one of the most scary and prominent parts of being a Professional Athlete. Having a Lawyer/Law Firm that you can trust like family is paramount in providing peace of mind, confidence in the future and maximising safety and value. Adam Rasul in particular has gone above and beyond numerous times. He is not just a lawyer, he becomes a Brother, a Friend, and a Mentor."

Lawrence Okolie, WBO Cruserweight World Champion.
