They took the time to understand my needs and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly.
Their attention to detail and commitment to delivering quality work really stood out, and they made the entire process stress-free. I would highly recommend Holborn Adams to anyone looking for reliable and expert service.

Holborn Adams is a very special person.
Simply the best!
I look upon Holborn Adams as a true friend, since our paths crossed by chance several years ago. Holborn Adams may be a top lawyer, but he never forgets his roots. His dynamic personality draws people towards him in a very positive way and his inspiring nature is a real attribute. This is abundant in the charity work he quietly gets involved in. Being a kindhearted man, Holborn Adams works on projects that benefit groups and individuals who struggle in today’s society. His approachable nature is endearing, along with his integrity and generosity. Holborn Adams is a very special person who always goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome in all situations.
I am truly blessed that fate has allowed me to have met Holborn Adams and become part of his wonderful family.

Highly knowledgeable, reassuring, caring - felt in safe hands throughout.
I can't recommend Holborn Adams & Ravi highly enough.
From the start to the end, Ravi has been extremely knowledgeable, reassuring & caring, so I felt in safe hands throughout the whole process.
Always helpful, reaching out to check in on me while processing matters in the background, I'm extremely glad to have made the investment and get my life back to normalcy.
Grateful Client
Ravi provided clear guidance and helped our son through.
Our world was turned upside down when our son was accused of a serious offence. We were at a loss and didn’t know where to turn.
It was then we contacted Holborn Adams. The team there was very sympathetic and supportive. We were immediately contacted by Andrew Ford. He guided us through this process along with Ria.
We were assigned Ravi Thatai. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor to assist in our son’s case. From the outset Ravi provided clear guidance and helped our son through what has been a very stressful and complicated legal situation. He showed us support and compassion and with his deep understanding of the law applied a strategic approach to our son’s case that led to favourable outcome.
Ravi was always available to answer any of my questions no matter if they very trivial or serious and reassuring. Throughout the case his professionalism,empathy and commitment was exceptional. I never felt that we were just another client and he treated our case with utmost priority.
I am extremely satisfied with high level of service we have received and would not hesitate to contact Ravi and the Holborn Adams team.

Katie Lochhart is a perfect fit and professional.
I jus had a gut feeling that this company was going to serve my husband well and they did. Faye was great in keeping us upto speed and Katie Lochhart is our solicitor. She is perfect fit and professional. Treated my husband with respect and dignity. We can contact her at any given time ( not that we would reach her middle of night or anything weird like that) but that's how Katie has made us feel like family. Thank you so much to Dominic our barister. He gave us all facts and it was reassuring to know we had such a competent passionate team working for us and with us. We don't regret a penny of what we paid for the services. I slept easy from the day we engaged with Holborn Adams. Your reputation proceeds you. Will definitely recommend them any day any time.

Would 100% recommend him as a lawyer
Ravi Thatai was everything we looked for: always on top of everything, transparent, and provided weekly updates, even if nothing had changed.
He drafted and finalised brilliant pre-charge representations which led to a NFA, effectively drawing attention to detail to the part of law which my case excelled in. Being in such a tough position, it was amazing to have a great lawyer to take my mind away from the case, knowing that i am in capable hands. He was very understanding and empathetic, and got to know me as a person before starting any legal proceedings.
Would 100% recommend him as a lawyer, having a case turn my life upside down, he flipped it back to let me keep living.

Customer care from all at Holborn Adams has been exemplary.
From the first point of contact with Geena Anderson to the happy conclusion of my grandson's case, everyone at Holborn Adams has been quite wonderful.
Ara Brace Sartaj in particular has worked so hard for us, whilst managing to maintain an attitude of both confidence and realism. From the very first phone call with Ara I felt certain that we were in safe hands. Customer care from all at Holborn Adams involved in our case has been exemplary but it's been Ara who has been the main point of contact and her energy hard work and desire to see justice for my grandson has been quite wonderful.
Ours was a relatively small matter, but my grandson's life could have been very badly impacted by a poor outcome. We were never made to feel that our case lacked importance to the team and Ara was very thorough and efficient in making sure everything was in place before his court appearance.
We are so grateful to everyone and particularly Ara, we highly recommend Holborn Adams.
Maryl Gaskin
Simply put, I have my freedom thanks to these gentlemen.
I was accused of historical assault which devastated my life & family.
Andrew Ford and Holborn Adams were simply fantastic in every possible way, as having never experienced legal issues, they spent a massive amount of time listening, advising, explaining everything to both me and my family, leaving us reassured my case was being sensitivity handled, and left no stone unturned preparing my defence.
Holborn Adams spent 3 days at our home to learn the details and explained all that stood before me.
At trial, both Andrew Ford & Holborn Adams were consummate professionals making the most difficult time of my life bearable.
Their advice, guidance and considerable patience with me ( stressed like never before) allowed the correct, right and proper result for me.
Simply put, I have my freedom thanks to these gentlemen and the magnificent team of people backing them up.
Should you ever find yourself in an unbelievable situation, I cannot recommend Holborn Adams highly enough.
Ravi & Andrew are quite simply the most personable, professional & respectful lawyers you’ll ever encounter, you will not get better than them and this company.
Roger
Great patience and empathy shown by Adam and Andrew.
Having found myself in the situation where I needed to seek out some legal advice I knew there was only one team to contact. I went for the best as I needed the best.
Adam showed great patience and empathy with me. Working alongside Andrew, they both offered up great advice and insight, with their approach helping to put me at ease as they mapped out what the next steps would be.
I could not have asked for more from them and I am so grateful to have them in my corner!
Thank you to Holborn Adams for being there every step of the way!
Dan Gray
Outstanding commitment, care, attention to detail, exceptional communication, good news.
Holborn Adams have been outstanding from start to finish, demonstrating a commitment to the case and to us as individuals. I cannot praise Katie enough and the experiences we have had with her as she has dealt with my partners case and been in contact with the both of us. Katie has acted with great care and attention to detail at all times, going above and beyond at all times, nothing has ever been too much to ask and she has been exceptionally easy to talk to you. We received good news from Katie yesterday and we cannot praise her or extend our thankfulness enough.
Customer
Personal touch from case manager was phenomenal, above and beyond.
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.

Holborn Adams team is proactive, knowledgeable, driven, and caring.
I cannot speak more highly of the team at Holborn Adams. When I found myself in a situation where I needed legal advice this company were second to none. I've never met a team who are so proactive, knowledgeable and driven. Within hours of contacting them Adam had completely reassured me, I had all options explained to me in language a 'non legal' person like myself could understand easily and we had a plan to move forward. But it wasn't just the professional expertise that was impressive, it's the 'soft skills' they excel in also. Adam provided that personal touch that makes you feel valued and that Holborn Adams cares about you as an individual. That people centred approach really makes the difference and sets Adam and HB apart for all other law firms. I was passed to Holborn Adams and he was just excellent with his professional support through what turned out to be a protracted process. I was regularly kept updated on progress and what the plan was next. Ultimately the situation was resolved completely. I have no doubt that without the HB team, then I would never have received the outcome I did or deserved. These guys are the 'special forces in suits' of law firms! I'll never go anywhere else for legal support.

Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care stand out.
I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing service Holborn Adams has provided. Even though my case is still ongoing, my solicitor araa brace Sartaj has made the entire process 10x easier for me. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation have truly made a difference. From the very first consultation, she was attentive, professional, and communicative. She took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I understood each step of the process and felt supported throughout. Her expertise and dedication showcased a lot during this difficult time. She has kept me informed every step of the way, applying continuous pressure to the other party to ensure we get all the answers needed. I generally can’t thank her enough for her hard work. Knowing that she’s representing me to the best of her ability gives me a sense of relief, I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Best firm out there, like my guardian angels!
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.

Fay Ashton showed me a different perspective of criminal defense.
My experience with Holborn Adams was absolutely positive!
I had a false allegation made against me and was arrested. Being from a different country and not having any criminal background, I didn't know what my rights were and was given the option of having a duty solicitor represent me during the interview with the police officer. That was an absolutely horrible experience as the duty solicitor clearly had no interest in helping me and made me see the whole thing as a lost case.
Fortunately, Fay Ashton took my case and showed me a different perspective of what criminal defense should be like and explained the importance of having a team specialised in pre-charge defense. She never judged me and always believed in my innocence, as well as always trying to give me reassurance and positivity, which can be hard when going through something serious like that. My case was dropped today, 3 months after it started, and I'm sure that wouldn't have been possible without Fay's strategies and precise arguments. I can't thank her enough and I'm sure anyone dealing with a similar experience would agree with me.
I would definitely recommend their services.

He is an extremely good communicator, making things clear and concise.
Holborn Adams 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.
Matthew Lee
Excellent legal representation, advice, and reassurance during a stressful time.
Like most people faced with an unexpected legal event… I was bewildered, terrified and struggled to differentiate between the legal firms that promised a lot, and those that delivered a lot.
Holborn Adams and Andrew are very much the latter, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the support and advice they provided to my wife and I during an extremely protracted and stressful period of my life.
I had excellent legal representation, advice on the end of the phone whenever needed and reassurance at the times when I thought I couldn’t cope.
The support from Holborn Adams was also extended to my wife and I know she also couldn’t be more grateful to him, and the wider team at Holborn Adams.
This chapter is now closed, and I can go about life once again, recovering from the trauma of the last few years. I am of no doubt that without the expert legal counsel/representation I had, the outcome could have been very different, albeit incorrect, but catastrophic for my career and life in general.
Our heartfelt thanks to Holborn Adams, Andrew and the team at Holborn Adams.
With very best wishes for the future.

Easily the best in the business, couldn't recommend enough.
I have used Holborn Adams multiple times for advice and assistance - easily the best in the business.
The support they have given me in comparison to other firms is above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough!!
Adnan Khan
Consummate professional, clinical ability, extremely empathetic, cannot recommend enough.
Holborn Adams 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.

Holborn Adams and Mr Kevin are the greatest team.
We have recently got 'not guilty' verdict from our trial which was a great result indeed!! We can not express ourselves good enough to Holborn Adams and Mr Kevin (King's counsel) the team was the most amazing team to keep our future life safe. When my husband was reported and under investigation then the case was decided to go for trial at Crown court, our family lost our life and we did not know what to do. As a duty solicitor did not really seem to help with our case, we had to find someone then luckily we spoke with Mr Adrew from Holborn Adams and met Holborn Adams. Holborn Adams listened to us carefully, understood our situation well, explained the process we had to go through. He is such a great solicitor, he is very capable and confident with what he needs to do to help our case. We were also impressed how much he went into the details to find out the point to defend our case. He introduced Me Kevin who is also the greatest counsel. We were so lucky to meet Holborn Adams and Mr Kevin, they advised us not only just for case and paper works, but also cared for us as a person, and gave us so much encouragement not to lose our minds during the difficult period of time. We did not know anything about law which made us more scared but Holborn Adams was there with us from the beginning, and Mr Kevin was there to speak for us at the trial. That is how we could have verdict result with 100% agreement from the jury. Thanks so much again to Holborn Adams and Mr Kevin!!!!!

Andrew from Holborn Adams was fantastic, extremely professional and proactive.
Andrew from Holborn Adams was fantastic. Mostly importantly the outcome in my case was positive for myself which is hugely down to Andrew and the team at Holborn Adams. Andrew was both extremely professional and very proactive in his approach to my case.
Andrew was always available when I had any questions, the contact I had with Andrew by phone and face to face meetings was hugely reassuring.
Would highly recommend Holborn Adams!
Thanks again Andrew and Holborn Adams

Holborn Adams was fantastic, transparent, and experienced in handling accusations.

-------------------------
Firstly, I really appreciated the quick nature of this case. As soon as my parents had spoken to Holborn Adams over the phone, they mentioned to me how confident they were with selecting him as his knowledge and background in this particular case became increasingly evident. They believed there was a clear structure with how Holborn Adams was going to approach this case and make sure that we get the correct outcome as quick as possible.
Almost immediately, we arranged a zoom call for the following day in which we all got to meet and speak about the case in more detail, some key bits of information and the next steps. This was really beneficial for myself as it instantly made me feel more comfortable with what was going on as I knew that not only was this being worked on, but by someone who was incredibly experienced in dealing with these types of affusations.
A week later, Holborn Adams & I met in London during the evening to talk about the details of what happened that day/night. I must say Holborn Adams was fantastic that evening. He made sure we didn't miss a single bit of information from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to sleep the day of the accused event, but also allowed me to take as much time as I needed when discussing sensitive details. What was great was as soon as we had spoken about everything that was required, Holborn Adams knew what his next steps were and was very transparent with me on what these looked like.
I was then introduced to Ara who was very keen to get more of an understanding on myself as a person, asking questions such as my relationship with my family, details about my job and my university experience. I was then recommended to put forward two people who would give useful information about not only myself, but also about the day of the event. My understanding was that Ara arranged to speak very quickly with these individuals, which I massively appreciated.
Although things then went a little quiet, it was clear that a lot was going on behind the scenes, as a couple weeks later we set up a call to speak about any updates. They mentioned that there was a possibility that the police would take no further action due to their persistent emails and messages about myself and what happened that day. This gave us as a family significant hope and we were very grateful we were kept updated. Two days later I recieved the phone call that I was praying for, but never expected to come so soon that the case had been dropped.

Holborn Adams is an outstanding individual, capable and competent.
I made a terrible mistake and found myself in serious trouble with the law facing a lengthy jail sentence as I was originally charged with GBH (section 18), thanks to the expertise, and vast knowledge of Holborn Adams and his team, I'm pleased and very grateful to say he/they managed to get me a deal for a lessor offence GBH (section 20) for which I pleaded guilty to with the outcome being a suspended sentence and community order. This was a very stressful period for me but Holborn Adams defiantly put me at ease with his clear guidance, professionalism and reassurance. Im sure without Holborn Adams and his team it would of been a completly different outcome, I cannot commend Holborn Adams enough honestly he's an outstanding individual who's one hundred percent capable and competent.

Professional approach and detailed explanation put us at ease.
Nearly 3 years ago we found our life in a desperate state and made the best decision in choosing Holborn Adams to represent our family. From our first meeting we felt listened to and knew they would bat for us. Their professional approach and detailed explanation of legal jargon put us at ease eliminated our worries throughout the process. Our legal case is still ongoing however I feel compelled to write this review given the negative comment from Mark Bentley. Mark Bentley I understand that your case was acquitted where others may not had such a brilliant outcome. It fills me with sadness that you cannot see the positive in such an outcome. I would like to say a huge thank you to Chris Daw, Adam Rasul, Andrew Ford and the remainder of the team for their hard work and professional support. The teams friendly, sympathetic, down to earth and non-judgmental approach was much appreciated. I really appreciate the support and feel that without their input this wouldn’t have been a positive result thus far. I would have no hesitation in recommending Holborn Adams and the dedicated professional team. Mr Dale Semper

Holborn Adams put me at ease instantly.
Holborn Adams was recommended to me via a friend as I recently found myself in an unfortunate situation.
Prior to our initial face to face meeting I felt extremely vulnerable, scared and totally in the dark not having any real understanding of how the justice system works.
Holborn Adams however put me at ease instantly. I left that first meeting feeling prepared, educated and most of all confident we were going to gain the outcome we desired. 4 week's later we got exactly that.
I cant Thank Holborn Adams enough. I can only hope we cross paths again under far better circumstances; putting aside their genuine ability to fight a case successfully. They also seem like genuine people. That for me speaks volumes!

Brilliant job, great knowledge, successful outcome, professional, highly recommend.
Holborn Adams represented me for my criminal case,and what a brilliant job he done,along with he’s team. Holborn Adams dealt with my case with great knowledge and understanding. He took the time to get to know me and everything surrounding the case. To which was a good and successful outcome. It was a long and drawn out case which went on for two years to no fault of myself or Holborn Adams. Holborn Adams was professional throughout the whole time I dealt with him along with being patient and not forgetting a single thing we discussed about the case. I highly recommend him and Holborn Adam’s service’s

Number one in all legal matters, supporting athletic journey and growth.
Adam Rasul has been representing me as my manager for 12 months. I consider Holborn Adams Limited the number one in all legal matters. He has worked diligently on all contractual matters to support my athletic journey and growth, as well as consistently guiding me. He also supported me in finding an excellent personal injury attorney to aid me with a car accident case. This lawyer is considered one of the best in the country and was a pleasure to work with on this Case. Massive thanks to Adam Rasul and the whole Holborn Adams team

Holborn Adams is a supportive young man who doesn't discriminate.
I've known Holborn Adams for over 8 years. He is a friend that's now become part off the family. Knowing what goals and expectations Holborn Adams wanted to accomplish before he reached the age off 40 is a dream which he has rightfully captured, with more to come.I've watch Holborn Adams as a young junior lawyer starting off with nothing, constantly working round the clock to get where he is today. They say no pain is gain. Holborn Adams is a supportive young man who doesn't discriminate against anyone. He helps and donates to people that are less fortunate, all because he has a successful business and a great team around him. Holborn Adams isn't just a name its a fragrance that's spreading worldwide to win all cases.

We were referred to Holborn Adams Ltd by a close family friend to urgently represent a family member in the UK courts. Being from Australia, we were originally at a loss as to who to turn to with the myriad of legal services and representation. We sent emails, made phone calls and wrote to various law firms to help represent the matter urgently but were either turned away due to particular conditions as to pass from person to person.
One phone call stood out with Holborn Adams, who gave us an hour and hour and half his time explaining about the UK legal system, our family relation's case and also options (mind you, we were not paying for his time). Over the course a few months (well short of the escalation of the case), we had a pleasing outcome thanks to Holborn Adams and his team. I could not recommend a better solicitor and his team.
Desmond
I would fully recommend the services of the team.
I would fully recommend the services of the team at Holborn Adams. I was ably served by Holborn Adams Mula who sympathetically supported me with my matter. It proved to be a long and exhausting process due to Covid delays but with the diligence taken by Holborn Adams, the wider Holborn Adams team and Counsel, the desired result was achieved.
Cameron P
Extremely reliable, diligent, and generous in legal representation.
Holborn Adams's ability to draw upon his extensive knowledge and speak with utmost conviction means he is a formidable opponent for anyone in the legal setting. He has had a long, established career and his case record is second to none - all meaning you feel calm and composed with him on side.
On a personal note I have found him to be extremely reliable, diligent and generous. Traits not often found in those of his stature.
Charlie Boci
Highly approachable and efficient, represented me more than I did.
I was catered for in a kind and understanding way. I was not made to feel bad about my situation despite my own shortcomings and mistakes. I found Holborn Adams and Emily highly approachable and efficient. They represented me more than I did myself. The price is what you pay for and fair.

Outstandingly professional, timely, trustworthy - wouldn't trust anyone else.
Holborn Adams and Adam Rasul in particular are outstandingly professional, timely, and trustworthy. They have always been there to help In the most dire circumstances and frankly I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my legal well being, unless of course they were referred by Holborn Adams in the first place, which they have done for me in the past to equal satisfaction.
Jason Prowse
Very intelligent and gets the job done with no nonsense.
I have known Adam professionally and personally now for around 7 years and he has helped me and been at the end of the phone with top class legal advice every time I’ve needed him. Very intelligent and gets the job done with no nonsense. Essential in the sport of boxing. Has helped out with things that happened outside of the ring also and reassured us all with his professionalism and knowledge of the law.
Highly recommended!

Holborn Adams Mula is an outstanding advocate.
Five months ago, my son was accused of ‘taking and making indecent photographs of a child’. The child was his 17-year-old ex-girlfriend and her allegation hit our family like a grenade.
I Googled “solicitor indecent images” on my phone and spoke to ‘Andrew Ford’ from Holborn Adams. It was a very helpful conversation. There was no clock ticking against the conversation and he gave what was really First Aid to our situation. His view was to nip the whole thing in the bud by using ‘Pre-Charge Representation.’
You won’t necessarily have heard of ‘Pre-Charge Representation’, I hadn’t. It is where your solicitor can represent you before there is even a charge; potentially halting proceedings before they ever take hold. This made total sense.
At this stage, the police had seized my son’s phone and were forensically searching it. We were automatically on the back foot. My son couldn’t remember the dates of things that happened. It had affected his health, he lost two stone, couldn’t eat, sleep or think without the constant worry going over and over things in his head about images that could devastate his life.
Holborn Adams Mula is an outstanding advocate. He is seriously good at what he does.
Not only did Holborn Adams Mula spend four hours in our local Police station, representing my son in a police interview. He also spoke to the officer in the case. He then spoke directly to the Police Sargent as well as the Superintendent. Holborn Adams Mula’s results of ‘no further action’ speak for themselves.
If you are in trouble or someone you care about is in a similar situation speak to Holborn Adams.
They are not like other firms. They can intervene and protect you, and most importantly, get you safely to the other side.
Ali
Supportive, understanding, caring lawyer; grateful for Holborn Adams team.
I count my lucky stars that I came across Andrew on LinkedIn, and subsequently instructed Holborn Adams to take on my case. My case was highly sensitive and at some times traumatic over an 18 month period; Andrew supported me fully and guided me through every step without any judgement. He was everything you'd want in a lawyer: supportive, understanding, caring and fighting for justice. I couldn't be more grateful to Holborn Adams who helped myself and my family through such a horrific time, and to finally get some closure. I must also mention Amanda who was brilliant, and a real go-getter throughout. Last, and certainly not least, Franceska, who tirelessly supported Andrew and made sure I was kept in the loop at all times. She took phone calls from me crying, laughing and everything in between. I've never met anyone with such attention to detail, and someone who was so wholeheartedly supportive of the case - making her and Andrew such a good team. Thank you for everything guys, truly.

Great knowledge and reassurance for personal and business needs.
Having Holborn Adams Limited saved in my contacts is of great solace.
Adam and his team have provided great knowledge and reassurance for both my personal and business needs. I truly wouldn’t look elsewhere globally should I need legal representation or advice.
They are strongly recommended as their results speak for themselves.
Stuart
Excellent service and well worth the fees.
Holborn Adams expertly helped my 15 year old son after he got caught up with a group of youths misbehaving and causing criminal damage in a high street store. The store chain wanted to press charges and the police pursued the whole group under group enterprise.
Holborn Adams dealt with my son very well indeed, offering him stern advice about the consequences of his choices, but also expertly and diligently representing him. The experience of a police suspect interview was a good awakening for my son who has changed his friendship group. In fact I know often point back to the advice Holborn Adams gave him.
The outcome was initially a community order which was good but would still have meant that Sam had a record on any DBS check. Holborn Adams pursued the case further and ultimately achieved a 'No Further Action' outcome.
Excellent service and well worth the fees.
Nigel
Holborn Adams took control, saving me from dreadful allegation.

Holborn Adams professionalism, motivation, knowledge, and work ethic were superb.
I met with Holborn Adams through a colleague some years ago. Like me Holborn Adams had launched their own law firm a few years earlier. I had the privilege to work with Holborn Adams on a legal matter and their professionalism, motivation, knowledge and work ethic were superb. We cross refer work to each others firms still today. Holborn Adams continues to excel in their career and has now made a huge impact in the sports law sector acting for numerous high profile athletes in the sporting world. I would not hesitate to recommend Holborn Adams and their firm in the highest possible terms. James O'Donnell, Solicitor and Director, O'Donnell Solicitors, Manchester

Highly recommend Mr. Mohammed Holborn Adams Mula for exceptional services.
My whole life was turned upside down when I was arrested in January 2022 for a serious crime I didn't commit. After a few months of silence from the Police, I decided to seek the services of Holborn Adams and was assigned to Mr. Mohammed Holborn Adams Mula.
He was very empathic throughout the whole process and guided me through the legal process and explained to me in detail how the legal system works in the UK. His expertise and attention to detail in handling my case were impressive. He was always responsive and kept me informed throughout the entire process. In the end, I had a very positive outcome with the case getting dropped completely and my seized items returned to me.
I highly recommend Mr. Mohammed Holborn Adams Mula for his exceptional services.
RR

Holborn Adams instills confidence in a "safe pair of hands"
After contacting the prosecution, Holborn Adams was successful getting them to decide to offer no evidence at court.
I felt that Holborn Adams gained a very clear understanding of the facts, which enabled them to articulately present a solid defence.

Highly recommend Natisha, a real credit to the company.
I highly recommend Natisha from Holborn Adams Solicitor, not only she's worked tirelessly with our case, she's just been amazing and professional.
Natisha took our case back in September 2022, our lives has turned upside down but Natisha reassured us that everything will be okay. She made sure that everything is done properly, update us constantly and documents etc.. is in order.
Our case wasn't pleasant at all, and I was constantly worrying and overthinking but Natisha was there to reassure me that everything will be okay and that it is okay to feel the way I feel. She's been there not only professionally but - emotionally and physically- she's helped me/our family get through the horrible tough situations. For the last few months was horrible but Natisha made sure that she was there for us, late night messages calls etc.. she made sure she was available,
WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON!
She's a credit and a real asset to the company.
We have gained a friend/family working with Natisha and Holborn Adams Solicitor.
Our case was successful it is all down to the hard work of Natisha and Tony. From my family, we say thank you Natisha. you have been amazing all through the case and we couldn't have done it without you and Tony.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND NATISHA
A REAL CREDIT AND ASSET TO THE COMPANY

Holborn Adams's attention to detail, work ethic, values, creative.
We've worked with Holborn Adams and his team for the last 6 months on a case in the UAE. Holborn Adams's attention to detail, work ethic, values and creative thinking are what really make him a powerhouse in pre charge representation. Very grateful for how Holborn Adams has gone the extra mile to support us and reach out to his wider network to do the same. Looking forward to continuing our working relationship as we expand our business globally, knowing with the support and and experience we now have (backed by Holborne Adams) we are less likely to run into similar legal situations that have the potential to slow us down. Thank you Holborn Adams!

First-rate, pro-active, personal, supportive legal service. Highly recommended.
It’s so hard to know where to turn if you find yourself in the gut-wrenching position of needing specialist legal help. After extensive research of top law firms I chose Andrew & Ria at Holborn Adams because I thought that not only would they deliver a first-rate and pro-active legal service but also a personal and supportive one. And I wasn't disappointed. Their ready understanding and care was so important in helping someone like me through such a difficult period of their life. I recommend them without hesitation.
Philip
Extremely thorough and pedantic, asking all the correct questions.
We had utilised the services of this firm. The strategy and tactics they deployed enable my family members case to be nipped in the bud at an early stage. Extremely thorough and pedantic, asking all the correct questions at the right time. All the ingredients for extremely capable and competent solicitors. I would definitely recommend!!
Akram Mula
Perfect service, knowledgeable, great empathy, professionalism, assistance.
Adam Rasul at Holborn Adams, provided a perfect service for my wife and I. Not only was he, and those employed by his law firm, knowledgeable enough to win our case they showed great empathy and professionalism throughout our legal journey. Hopefully, I'll never need his services again, but if I do, he'd be the first person I'd call. Thanks again Adam for your assistance. Mr & Mrs W
Andrew Wakefield
Highly recommend Holborn Adams Mula. Brilliance at the top level!
I had false & serious allegations levelled at me that resulted in me being arrested & this caused grave adverse impact in my life, which was mentally harrowing & stressful.
I contacted Holborn Adams & they assigned Holborn Adams Mula to my case.
Within a couple of minutes speaking with Holborn Adams, he realised my mind was tortured as this was my first ever encounter with the law. He quickly eased my worries & my fears allayed, with promises of getting to the truth.
Given the severity of the accusations, I found Holborn Adams's advocacy erudite & painstaking to detail. After being given limited disclosure, he suggested a Prepared Statement that meticulously countered the fabricated claims of my accuser.
The due care & attention given to my case was advocacy par excellence!
A few months of police investigations culminated in the case being NFA'd. The result coming just before Christmas made my elation even more joyful!
I highly recommend Holborn Adams Mula. Sheer brilliance of someone at the top of his game!
Thanks Holborn Adams!

Taz Raz
Without Holborn Adams thousands of people had lives changed positively.
So I decided to find out more about the negative reviews myself. One is a troller, one got a result (Not guilty in a serious case) and wanted his money back 😂 and then other could not afford private fees but decided to have a dig. So all of sudden it becomes an attack on a firm whom reached legal 500 status in 7 years. Without Holborn Adams thousands of people would not have had their lives changed positively. Just look at what they did on the Dale Semper case on Channel 4. A landmark result plus the Senior Partner defended two of the largest VAT frauds in UK history successfully. Keep going HA and I hope you sue the fake news reviewers!
Margaret Mahon
Great help all the way through, highly recommend.

Outstanding legal knowledge and understanding of regulatory system, highly recommended.
Mr Holborn Adams Mula has been outstanding with his legal knowledge and understanding of the regulatory system. Personally for me, it has truly has been a blessing having sought his legal guidance at an early stage. He went above and beyond his line of duty to ensure that I face a fair and balanced outcome while facing the complex challenges of regulatory proceedings. He has reinstated my faith in the justice system and regulatory system, because after all, the truth prevails. In my experience I am grateful for his effort in upholding justice. He took an honest and sincere approach, reminded me of my rights, particularly at a time when I had lost all hope. He has remarkable strategies in ensuring that adequate data is gathered for the case while ensuring the emotional well being of the human dealing with a great deal of stress.
I would highly recommend My Muhammad Holborn Adams Mula for his vast experience and detailed understanding of the Regulatory System. He is a asset to the Holborn Adams Team and I hope he continues to help many others like me, facing similar challenges in the future.

Well if you find yourself in this horrible situation a harrowing time of a historic allegation against yourself then I can only say that you need to get Holborn Adams Mula on the case asap.
A former friend said some untrue things about myself which in turn was horrible and upsetting i asked Holborn Adams Mula to represent me and he was at my side and was always on hand if I needed him.

Phenomenal, professional, supportive, friendly, charming, expert, highly recommend.
I dealt with the solicitor Holborn Adams and barrister Matt. They were both phenomenal. Holborn Adams went above and beyond to help me with my case, seemingly available night and day to answer queries. Smart, communicative and knowledgeable. He was completely professional, but with the ability to be supportive, friendly and charming at the same time. Matt was a force in the court room. With the ability to read the room, the judge and provide expert advice on legal strategies, he got me the result I wanted. I would highly recommend Holborn Adams to anyone wanting first class representation!

Their calm advice, manner and client care is exceptional.
I am a researcher and when something requires a lawyer in this field there are many out there but only a few whom keep their word. Some firms offer a champagne service then do nothing. Holborn Adams were available in and out of working hours and including the weekend. They offered to work around my job so I was not under pressure to respond in the day time. Their calm advice, manner and client care is exceptional. If you want to sleep at night and alleviate your anxieties these are the firm to go to.

Holborn Adams is a big inspiration, incredible role model, mentor.
Holborn Adams Rasul without a doubt, is a true one of a kind. I'm quite thankful to say that I have yet to need serious legal advice, but I can strongly say Holborn Adams is something else!
The level of professionalism that he has towards his work is beyond belief, as well as this he is a big inspiration to many people. To say that I know this man on a friendship level is something else. Holborn Adams is there for everyone, whenever I need advice, he has never failed to give me sound and practical guidance.
He has been an incredible role model for me, and I'm so thankful for all the guidance and advice he has given me.

Holborn Adams is professional, personal, and a pleasure to work with.
I've known Andy Ford for many years and share his personal and professional values. The choice to utilise his professional expertise a year or so ago therefore became a no-brainer, and since he stays in frequent contact with me with advice and any updates related to his professional representation of me.
I have since connected to Adam and the rest of the Holborn Adams' team, and have found them very professional yet personal, which is important to me.
I continue to endorse Holborn Adams for any legal or sport agency matters as they are a pleasure to work with.
Thanks Andy, Adam and the rest of the team 💪

Holborn Adams and his team at HA are a team I would always choose if I need help. Holborn Adams is a genuine trustworthy person who will always do his best for you. I've seen how he operates over several years. I'm always impressed with his personable style, he gets the job done and I can't imagine anyone working harder for his clients. He essentially treats you like a member of his family and makes it his business to do his best for you. Oh and he's a very committed boxing and sports supporter, a positive character trait in my experience. Highly recommended.
