Excellent advice and support

Sidra was the duty solicitor on the night my 17 year old daughter was arrested following a drunken altercation with a police officer.
She quickly established a rapport with her empathy and calm approach and provided excellent support before, during snd after the police interview. She responded promptly to messages during the bail period and was proactive in chasing up and pushing the police investigation to a satisfactory conclusion. I would highly recommend Sidra and her colleagues.

Very Little Advice

This review is for a different branch.

I had the misfortune to use the services of these Solicitors in the last 6 months. Unfortunately the advice was not forthcoming and communication was very poor. In the end I decided to discontinue with their services and represent myself which paid off much better. I would never use them again. Very bad experience when I did needed their help.

Child Support Case

This review is for a different branch.

Abv Solicitors (Majid Hanif) was always very professional, ready to help, and took the time to explain all my doubts. He reassured me with his calm presence and was able to take charge of proceedings, explaining the obstacles that may arose. Very knowledgeable, reliable, responsive, and outstanding in all aspects, he made sure all my needs were met. His honesty, clarity, and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free

A big thank you to Mr Zaki Hashmi

This review is for a different branch.

I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for Zaki Hashmi, a barrister who demonstrated exceptional legal expertise and professionalism throughout my case. From the outset, Zaki’s in-depth knowledge of the law, sharp analytical skills, and clear strategic advice were invaluable in helping me navigate complex legal challenges.

Zaki approaches each matter with a meticulous eye for detail, while also being able to break down complex issues in a way that is easily understandable. His clear communication, strong advocacy, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for his clients set him apart.

I am deeply appreciative of Zaki's dedication and the results he delivered. If you are seeking a barrister who combines legal acumen with a personal and client-focused approach, I would wholeheartedly recommend Zaki Hashmi. Lastly thank you so much Zaki for getting me the minimum sentence I was expecting between 9-11 years and now I’ve just finished my sentence after 13 months.

Review of services

This review is for a different branch.

Fergus came recommended to us from a different solicitor. He was great to deal with, easily contactable via various means, often outside of working hours. He friendly and very understanding which was particularly important to me as my case was fairly complex with a large backstory and lots of nuance. He was forward thinking and sensible with his approach which definitely worked in my best interest to get the resolution I needed. I would happily use his services again.

Fergus Harrington

This review is for a different branch.

I had the pleasure of having Fergus Harrington as my solicitor throughout my entire case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was incredibly supportive, always willing to answer any questions I had and providing clear, detailed explanations. He was also available to call at any time, making me feel reassured and informed throughout the process. Beyond his professional expertise, Fergus is genuinely a great person, approachable, patient. His dedication to my case and his commitment to helping me was truly exceptional. Thank you, Fergus, for everything!

I was represented by Mr. Fergus Harrington and I can’t express enough how much of a help he was to me throughout my case. I’m so grateful for his support through this time and i feel obligated to write this review . I hope I won’t have to deal with any more legal issues but if so he’ll be the first on my list to represent myself . Thank you once again

Thanks you Zaki!

This review is for a different branch.

ABV Solicitors was recommended to us through a family friend who happened to be a District Judge. Zaki Hashmi was extremely professional and efficient. He provided really useful advise from the start which really helped to keep us calm. His vast experience with Crown Court cases was evident throughout which showed when his prediction of a favourable outcome was realised. Thank you Zaki!

This review is for a different branch.

I have used this firm for a while now and have had nothing but good news from them at all times. My most recent case was represented by a Mr Roheed Hussain, who done amazing and I couldn’t thank him enough. Communication was great and kept me reassured at all times which helps a lot!

Once again big Thank you to Mr.Hussain and the ABV Team.

Sidra was professional and diligent. She's clearly a very busy lady, but always stayed on top of the case and knew which direction of travel we needed to take. My thanks and appreciation of her case management.
