An exceptional solicitor
I engaged James to assist with a legal matter on behalf of my son. My son is neurodiverse, and finds communication difficult, especially with strangers and regarding topics which can be difficult. James was excellent at assisting my son, putting his mind at ease, and always spoke in a compassionate way, whilst maintaining an excellent level of professionalism. He was approachable and incredibly helpful in a very difficult time, with no judgement felt from James or any of his team. He didn't overpromise, was very reasonable and generous with his time, and with his help we obtained the best outcome we could have hoped for. I would not hesitate to recommend James, he is a professional, supportive and and excellent solicitor.

Above and beyond!
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.

Outstanding Solicitor
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.

Judgeless Support
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.

Very helpful in a difficult time
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.

Highly recommended
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.

Reassuring, professional, effective
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.
