Kind, compassionate, fierce.
Conventional wisdom is that there are a few things you should never skimp on in life……..
Bed Linen
Towels
Legal Representation……
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.
Akram 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 Akram 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 Akram, Andrew and the team at Holborn Adams.
With very best wishes for the future.

Amazing Amazing team!! and Mr Akram, great solicitor
We have recently got 'not guilty' verdict from our trial which was a great result indeed!! We can not express ourselves good enough to Mr Akram 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 Mr Akram. Mr Akram 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 Mr Akram 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 Mr Akram 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 Mr Akram and Mr Kevin!!!!!

Exceptional Service
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 Akram 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 Akram defiantly put me at ease with his clear guidance, professionalism and reassurance. Im sure without Akram and his team it would of been a completly different outcome, I cannot commend Akram enough honestly he's an outstanding individual who's one hundred percent capable and competent.

Superior Outcome from a Professional and Humanistic Practitioner
- Trusted Advisor and Fights for the Underdog.
- Treats you and your family with respect and dignity, always thinking of the client.
- Gives you options and never forces you into one, especially on legal options and costs.
- Fully explaining everything to you, patiently and without judgement.
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 Akram, 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 Akram and his team. I could not recommend a better solicitor and his team.

Solid Professionalism
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 Akram and Emily highly approachable and efficient. They represented me more than I did myself. The price is what you pay for and fair.

Amazing Team
Fantastic team all working together. Mr Akram Mula handled my son’s case, over a year of dedication & hard work. Impressive, extremely knowledgeable & advisable. Investigating psychiatric expert reports & getting documents in order. He is professional & helpful in getting the best outcome for you, never gave up & always gave us hope. Akram got us the best Barrister Mr Tony Montgomery from Great James Street Chambers to represent us. Tony took care, great interest, non judgemental, positive attitude, extreme knowledge & professionalism was outstanding. Natisha Bangar from Holborn Adams is kind, efficient & incredibly helpful. Listened with compassion & explained anything we didn’t understand, immediately & always got back with helpful information. Geena Anderson went out of her way to help us. She is friendly, helpful, approachable & listened. She is good, kept us updated & let us know exactly what was going on with the case. All making such a crucial difference. We all appreciate their hard work, dedication & loyalty. It resulted in the best outcome & my son who was easily manipulated by his naivety, has ASD & ADHD, severe depression, anxiety, eating disorder, sleep issues & is now getting the help he needs through therapy, medication, professional continued support. Finally a heavy cloud has been lifted & we can all move forward. Would recommend Holborn Adams for a fabulous service through a traumatic time. Yours respectfully Lisa.

Mum of three
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.
Akram Mula is an outstanding advocate. He is seriously good at what he does.
Not only did Akram 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. Akram’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.

Excellent Service
Akram 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.
Akram 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 Akram 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. Akram pursued the case further and ultimately achieved a 'No Further Action' outcome.
Excellent service and well worth the fees.
