I reached out to James after searching for the right Lawyer to help with my case, after poor experiences searching for one and lack of understanding of my situation, James felt like the right person. Thankfully from the get go, James reached out almost immediately to discuss my situation and really understood a distressing situation. He had empathy and a genuine care for the right the outcome whilst still explaining clearly my options. We had an in depth face to face meeting and I couldn’t have felt more supported and understood. I will always be grateful for James taking on my case and also for finding me the best barrister, Charlotte Noddings. Thanks to both of them and working so diligently we got the outcome we wanted and I’ve had a weight lifted off of my shoulders since and I’ve been able to get on with my life. Also a big thank you to the Narayani and Emma for all of their support with court appearances too, just having both of them to support me and guide me was invaluable.

James made an extremely difficult situation manageable. Throughout my case, he was there when I needed him with advice and support. James and his team carried out their work in a non-judgemental way which appeared genuinely caring. The way they interacte with me made me feel comfortable and allowed me to fully trust them. I have no other experiences with criminal solicitors to compare ABR to, but I can confidently say that I would highly recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in trouble and I have no regrets in selecting them to represent me. The fees seemed expensive at first but in hindsight I think they were reasonable and fair. I appreciated that the fees laid out paid at the beginning and that any future costs were clearly explained from the outset meaning there were no unwanted surprises.

I think I did something hard to forgive and for a long time I was uncertain about the support I received. I was never judged once, and James's team slowly ensured I was happy to trust them. My only regret is not contacting them far sooner.

James was excellent in helping me steer through a very stressful situation this year. He provided very clear advice to me and my family and was reassuring throughout. From the outset James was upfront and clearly spelled out the process to me. I couldn’t have got through this situation without his help and clear advice.

James helped me navigate a highly stressful time during my case and prepared very thoroughly to ensure I got the best possible outcome. I am incredibly grateful to both him and Emma who went above and beyond to assist me and took into account the difficulties I was facing. James is highly knowledgeable and I felt much more at ease once I had met him and knew my case was being handled by him. I would recommend James to anyone.

James and Emma were very approachable, hands on and professional throughout. Big thanks to you both.

I engaged ABR regarding a sensitive matter which occurred during a period of poor mental health. I was appointed James McAulay who specialised with this nature. James is polite, courteous and listens. I detected a genuine sense of empathy with those he is defending. The same must also be said if his paralegals Emma and Narayani with whom I found no anxiety or reluctancy to discuss the nature of the case.

Measuring by results, James and his team secured a final outcome which exceeded that which I had dared hope for. Although they are not a charity, I do feel I owe ABR a debt of gratitude. Of the selection boxes believe, the only reason I haven't chosen "Would use again" is that I have no intention of finding myself in this situation again.

Right from the start Emma asked for my details and James contacted me back. Right from the start he told me his experience and also didn’t make me any false promises like most other solicitors did. He was honest with me and even came with me to an appointment after the first hearing to make sure I was okay. Another solicitor tried to take more actions which would’ve cost more money, but James said he could do it if I wanted him to but he was honest and said that he doesn’t want to take my money for something that is almost certain to fail. He also identified a mistake in the prosecutions charge sheet. Honestly if it wasn’t for James, Emma, and their Barrister Sean I wouldn’t be here right now, they secured my second chance. If you do use ABR solicitors, follow their recommendations, I did and that’s why I’m still here outside.

We would like to recommend ABR Solicitors to anyone that is searching for a specialist solicitor that is professional and communicates effectively with their respective client. We cannot praise them enough as they were highly supportive and competent.

They maintained a high level of professionalism and were not judgemental throughout the duration of the case. They always ensured that they explained processes clearly as they worked tirelessly on our case.

I would definitely recommend them as they are honest, diligent and straight forward.

Special thanks to James McAulay and his team for their amazing work and resilience in the case.
