We felt our nightmare situation was understood and we felt in safe hands
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.


You helped make what was a mentally traumatic process much more bearable.
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!


Adam is a consummate professional.
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.

Truly appreciate everything you all done.
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.


Adam's dedication and professionalism helped us prevail and win.
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


The team demonstrated absolute professionalism
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.


Thank you for your continued help and support.
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.

He said to me that “he will sort this and I’ve got your back”.
As I was saying last night, I was very impressed Holborn Adams and the way he helped me. The solicitor 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 my solicitor 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 my solicitor 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!

I was amazed at the level of care and professionalism towards the matter
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.


It warms my heart to know that there are humans like yourselves who really care about the people they represent
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.
