Totally Fantastic & Very Professional

I used these guys due to a personal problem / issue I was having and they are worth every penny! What a great outfit these guys honestly are my solicitor was Sophie Bell but I was always in contact with Rob Borwick if I needed any advice or just a chat regarding certain situations. I 100% would recommend this company! Sophie Bell was amazing and took time to see my evidence and read everything as well as talking to me where I felt understood and respected. Sophie Bell is such a lovely and kind woman I am so grateful that she represented me, the trial couldn’t have gone any better than what it did... Thank you Sophie you were amazing... And thank you Rob, I know at the start I became annoying but in your professional and kind way you relaxed me, so thank you whole heartedly 😊👍

Excellent legal support

I cannot recommend Fergus Harrington enough, I changed from another solicitor at a different law firm to Fergus and the difference was astounding. Fergus thinks outside the box, fresh and dynamic. I was kept up to date throughout, had everything explained to me in a concise professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble. I really appreciate Fergus’s hard work and commitment. Fergus secured an excellent result with my case being dismissed.

Thank you

From the speed to which they picked up the case and how they handled the process was fantastic. For someone with little to no knowledge of the legal world it was fantastic that ABV Solicitors / Claire Anderson were there when we needed and guided / supported to a positive resolution
Would not hesitate to recommend

NOT GUILTY!!!

I was represented by Somsul Hoque from ABV Solicitors. I was charged with criminal offences and was acquitted after trial. Somsul dealt with my case in a very professional manner always giving me clear advice and provided me with a first class service. I would definitely recommend Somsul to anyone in a similar situation to me.

Advice from Fergus Harrington

Fergus has been advising me in a criminal investigation. He has been very professional, was very precise about deliverables and timing required and worked efficiently and effectively to achieve the outcome. He was available late at night and early in the morning when required. Overall an outstanding effort and achieved the outcome we hoped for.

In Excellent Hands

I recently used the services of Zaki Hashmi and would highly recommend him. From his in-depth knowledge and legal expertise, he provided clear, comprehensive guidance and professional support throughout the whole process.
Zaki demonstrated a genuine interest and concern for my wellbeing, considering the emotional impact and potential long-term future implications. He was always readily available and promptly responded with detailed and thoughtful answers to any queries or concerns. His approach was reassuring and allayed my fears – I was certain I was in capable hands.
His meticulous attention to detail helped highlight critical elements of the case, and his advice reflected both his comprehensive understanding and years of experience in this field. I wouldn't hesitate to turn to him again in the future.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional legal representation I received from Claire Anderson. From start to finish, demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, expertise, compassion and dedication.

Claire went above and beyond, making sure I felt supported and confident in the legal process, even during the most challenging moments.

Her attention to detail and tireless effort resulted in a successful resolution of my case before trial, and I couldn't be more thankful for their hard work and advocacy. I highly recommend Claire Anderson to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation.

Exceptional Legal Support

I cannot recommend ABV Solicitors highly enough, especially Fergus Harrington.

Fergus was in constant communication throughout the process, always available to answer any questions we had. His dedication and commitment went above and beyond expectations—ensuring that every issue his clients faced was addressed with care and expertise. His professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference in both cases.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who truly puts clients first and delivers outstanding results, Fergus Harrington at ABV Solicitors is the one to trust.

I was recommended Anwar from this set of solicitors as he had represented a few of my friends children. I was very impressed with his service. My younger brother was arrested at Maidenhead station and he attended for him. The police let him go without charge so I am really happy. Thank you Anwar for keeping my family updated also

I was represented in a DV case by Sophie Bell and Zaki Hashmi where i was accused of CA. Thanks to their methodical approach, i won my appeal. I was really impressed by how seriously each of them took my situation. Each of them worked through the weekend and evening and were extremely responsive to my emails and messages. As someone who had never been in trouble with the police before, selecting a solicitor was extremely daunting but i am delighted with my choice and can recommend them to anyone.

I was represented by Anwar in 2018 at Maidenhead station. I been on police bail for 1 year over and for something I not do. This caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. Police take my passport and I was not allowed to see my family in my country. Anwar helped me so much. 2 weeks ago the police took no action. Thank you Anwar for your help I will greatly recommend ABV.

I had a deeply unsatisfactory experience with Sunita Mehta at ABV Solicitors. There was a consistent lack of communication, and I found her to be untrustworthy and unprofessional. Throughout the process, I was given inaccurate information, and rather than receiving clear guidance or support, her involvement led to unnecessary complications and stress.

Instead of being advised on the best options to support my case, I was left to find solutions on my own — doing my own research and effectively having to manage my case without proper legal support. I strongly advise others to be cautious and consider alternative representation.

Sunita Mehta has displayed unprofessional behavior in my experience. She initially communicated one set of expectations, only to request payment two months later for charges that were not supposed to apply. This raises concerns about the integrity of her dealings, particularly with individuals who may be in vulnerable situations. I advise caution in any dealings with her, as she has not been forthcoming in resolving the issue.
