The 4th Emergency Service
During complex allegations it was only through the clear expert advice from Holborn Adams that I have had the best possible outcome. Aside from the expert legal counsel, the team are always calm and know the best way to deal with tricky situations. At a very stressful time dealing with criminal allegations I can't recommend Holborn Adams enough. I appreciate the endless patience and amount of care that the team have brought to a lengthy and complex case.

Thank you Ara and HA
I am so pleased I and my wife found, and I have been represented and supported by Holborn Adams on a very serious but malicious and false allegation that wrecked our mental health and family relationships even before a charge had 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 gave us hope we could get through that awful situation; Ara is knowledgeable, passionate for her work and goes beyond to understand and work with the emotional rollercoaster our life had become through supporting us as people as well as the technicalities of the case and Pre-Charge Representation. Ara was thorough and tireless in putting a pre charge rep together and personally ensured the interactions with the police were respectful but very effective. I am pleased to say all her work payed off in that the police found no further action was required and the action was dropped. Ara rightfully deserves all our thanks for getting our life back and I would thoroughly recommend HA and Ara.
Thank you.

Excellent professional service
I contacted Holborn Adams at the start of our journey into a traumatic Police investigation- I was met with quiet, professional and compassionate sympathy. Fay, Ara and Yasmin have ( so far!) worked tirelessly to support us as a family and individuals. They are robust in their procedures, diligent in their work and highly skilled in their knowledge and application- and it’s all done with ultra professionalism and integrity with a respect for us all. I couldn’t want for a better Team to be with us, support, advise and represent us along this harrowing road.

Onwards and upwards
Throughout one of the most difficult times in my life, I experienced a mix of fear and uncertainty about my future. However, from start to finish, Ara has been a true source of strength and professionalism.
From my first conversations with Holborn Adams, I knew I had made the right choice. Ara has truly gone above and beyond. She guided me through every legal step with a calm, knowledgeable, and reassuring presence, which I desperately needed during such a distressing time. Her dedication to my case has been nothing short of remarkable.
Ara’s approach is thorough and respectful, always providing timely updates and explaining everything in a way that made me feel supported and fully informed. Even in moments of doubt, I always felt reassured that my case was being handled with the utmost care and professionalism. She has been not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate listener who helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.
With her help, I’ve been able to stay hopeful and more positive about my future, even when it felt challenging to do so. Now that my case is closed, I can’t thank Ara enough for being a steady hand throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal support during tough times.

Successful representation
Following the arrest of a family member we clearly needed to appoint a firm of solicitors to handle the case. After careful research we decided that Holborn Adams were the most appropriate law firm use.
We dealt primarily with Ara who handled our Pre-Charge representation; Ara was professional and caring throughout the entire process and we eventually received an outcome of No Further Actioned.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Holborn Adams in the future.
