What our client's have to say

“I was caught up in serious drug operation involving the importation of methamphetamine. My English is not good and I said things to the Police that did not help my case. After my legal aid lawyer was unable to get me bail, I instructed Adam. He got me bail on appeal and then guided me through the Court process. He was very patient and clear with me and helped me to understand the process. After a three week High Court trial, I was found not guilty on all charges. I cannot thank Adam enough for all his skill and assistance in helping me remain with my family.”

TVP - Methamphetamine importation charges
“Adam represented me on several serious sex charges. I was very worried about the case, but Adam kept me calm and explained the Court process in a way that I understood. Adam was very prepared leading up to the trial and, after cross examining the complainant for almost a whole day, all charges against me were dismissed. I am over the moon with the result and can’t thank Adam enough for his service.”

FT - Rape and abduction charges
“Adam is an outstanding barrister who I have nothing but gratitude for. I was falsely accused on a charge that would have ruined my life if I had been convicted. As we prepared for trial, Adam used his analytical ability to assess the Police case and to provide me with insightful legal advice. It was through his guidance that my family and I were able to maintain relatively calm under the stress of a trial process. The end result of an acquittal was just and it is thanks to Adam that I was able to maintain my innocence.”

MD - Indecency charge
"Adam I am writing this letter to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts in looking after me. I want you to know that I am 100% happy with how you conducted yourself and argued for me in court . My English may not be perfect, but after seeing and hearing many lawyers over the years you are right up there with the very best I have seen. Thank you again and God bless."

LT - Violence charges
"I’m really thankful to had myself represented by Adam through those difficult times. From the beginning he was honest and provided great advice with confidence, diligence and integrity. He explained to me my options and his recommendations, we decided the course of action and the result was a dramatic improvement on my situation which translated in a significant reduction on my sentence with no major impact in my life. Otherwise I could have been facing time in jail and my life would have be ruined. I could not have achieved what we achieved without him. I wouldn’t doubt to contact him if I ever need legal advice again."

LH - serious violence charge
"I found myself facing serious violence charges and Adam was assigned as my lawyer. He helped me get bail and then guided me through the whole process. My partner got sentenced to more than six years, but I decided to defend my charge. I was stressing, but Adam ran the trial in a way that I didn’t need to give evidence and I was so relieved and happy when I was found not guilty. Adam did an amazing job and saved me from a long prison sentence."

AT - Serious violence charges
"I was facing a serious violence charge that was my first ever offence. A conviction would have had a massive impact on my career and I was extremely worried. Adam gave me brilliant counsel and helped me avoid a criminal conviction on my record. Adam is an outstanding lawyer who was always quick to get back to me - I recommend him very highly."

RH – serious violence charge.
"Hi Adam - Thank you again for your help. This case has been extremely stressful for my family but you have gone beyond leaps and bounds to support us and to avoid a conviction for my father. The whole family is extremely thankful for bringing us back together."

TH – discharge on violence charge.
"Barrister Adam Holland represented us in regards to criminal charges laid by the New Zealand Police against my teenage son. He advised us throughout our proceedings with very clear and informative advice. His knowledge was exceptional and he resolved our file with the best outcome we could have possibly received. We are extremely grateful for having chosen Adam to represent us and truly believe that he played the biggest part in our reaching success."

LW – discharge on burglary and fraud charges
"Mr. Holland, my wife and I want to thank you from bottom of our heart. Thank-you for all your support and guidance through-out my case. We were very worried, but you kept us calm and explained the Court process in a way that we understood. You were very careful analysing the details and outcomes of my charges and you were always available to answer our queries and concerns. You are truly the best barrister and we would highly recommend you to anyone."

AT - Serious violence charges
"My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Adam during an incredibly stressful time in our lives after I had been charged with fraud. Adam was able to get to the heart of my legal issues quickly and then provide clear advice on my options. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had and he was able to successfully argue for a result where I did not receive a criminal conviction on my record. Thank you so much Adam."

KW - serious sexual charges dropped after negotiation with the Police
"Adam was appointed to deal with an issue regarding a family member. His grasp of the situation was immediate and it was clear that I was dealing with an extremely accomplished lawyer. His approach was dynamic and focussed and it resulted in a clear strategy being formulated. This was particularly reassuring through what was a very stressful time. As the process evolved, communication was excellent and on-going, quality advice was given which eventually resulted in a positive outcome. Adam was hugely impressive and I can't thank him enough. Accordingly, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone".
