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 😊👍

Very Little Advice

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

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

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

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

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!

Thanks you Zaki!

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!

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.
