    Recommendations

    I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the work, effort and time the entire team put into bringing this matter to a successful outcome. Adam, thank you so much for your patience, support, attention to detail and guidance during the trial. — Client
    Adam Haffenden successfully opposed a non-party disclosure application the defendants made involving my Barclays Bank account that could have had profound consequences for the rest of my ongoing case had they not succeeded in having this application dismissed in front of His Honour Judge Johns K.C. Fortunately for me, the Judge ordered the defendants to pay me the sum of £9,800 for my legal costs in resisting this application. What can I say, this result is outstanding. Adam was calming, astute, tough, and protective and stayed hands on from start to finish. His attention to detail, fierce determination, and his ability to advise warmly but boldly, saw us through this very stressful period with a magnificent outcome. This tremendous result came off the back of Adam successfully winning my case last year, resulting in the defendants being ordered to pay me £120,000 in damages, plus my legal costs. Adam and his team are the real deal and true professionals, I strongly recommend you use their services at TV Edwards. — Client
    Without hesitation, I give Adam Haffenden my highest recommendation. You and your support staff assured us you will help us achieve the best outcome for our business in our arbitration dispute with a large London based housing association. You gave us expert advice and peace of mind regarding our legal position on the matter – you helped our problems go away and delivered a remarkable outcome, that we are truly thankful for. The way you tactically negotiated our position to recover nearly £200,000 from the defendant (including most of our legal costs) using your strategic nouse, was incredible. You instilled a confidence in us that we have never had with any legal representative before. Honestly, you went above and beyond and fought for everything in our case with a tenacious, can-do attitude. I would strongly recommend this firm and especially Adam Haffenden to anyone. Adam, simply outstanding, we shall be coming back in the future for sure. — Client
    Adam and Ina from the Dispute Resolution team provided a high-quality, professional service while working on my case to negotiate a settlement offer in respect of our dilapidations claim. The team’s knowledge of this area of law and advice on best strategies allowed us to negotiate a settlement sum much lower than what the other side originally requested, avoiding the need for court proceedings. I would highly recommend them for matters of this nature. — Client
    I am a delighted that TV Edwards won my TOLATA claim at trial, achieving an order for sale granted in my favour and an order for 50% of the proceeds of sale. I am also so thankful that they managed to obtain an adverse costs order for £25,000 which is payable by the defendant. Adam and Ina have quite simply been outstanding, they have provided a thorough and professional service throughout and I really appreciate their hard work and communication with me. Their advice and approach to strategies helped me succeed with my claim and I would certainly recommend them to others. Thank you so much! — Client
    I instructed Adam Haffenden, Head of Dispute Resolution, regarding the removal of the highly invasive Japanese Knotweed plant that was spreading from neighbouring land onto mine and the advice I received was absolutely superb. His thorough understanding of this niche area of law enabled us to negotiate the removal of the knotweed with our neighbour, within weeks of instructing him, without having to engage in costly litigation. If you want top rate legal advice, delivered in a simplistic way, I highly recommend Adam and TV Edwards to everybody who needs Japanese Knotweed advice. — Client
    Adam was very impressive with how he acted in recovering a large commercial debt for our business. He was attentive to what we wanted to achieve and was robust in his approach to successfully resolving the case on incredibly favourable terms. We would definitely recommend instructing Adam and look forward to working with him again in the future. 5/5 rating for sure. He is our go to man. Thanks again Adam. — Client
    It has been a real pleasure working with Adam. It’s rare to find someone with such professionalism, efficiency and excellent communication skills. Adam and his disputes team were professional, thorough and left no stone unturned when acting for me in respect of my disrepair dispute. Adam helped me successfully navigate through a very complex area of law in a calm, robust and strategic fashion, enabling me to settle the matter on favourable terms. I would definitely recommend instructing Adam and TV Edwards. Thanks again for all your hard efforts you were absolutely superb. — Client
    I cannot express how relieved and grateful I am after securing a freezing injunction with the assistance of my legal team. When I discovered the imminent threat to my assets, I was overwhelmed with stress and uncertainty. However, from the moment I engaged Adam Haffenden, his expertise and dedication was evident. Adam with support from his team, meticulously gathered the necessary evidence, crafted a compelling case, and navigated the complex legal process with precision and confidence. The court’s decision to grant the freezing injunction was a pivotal moment, providing me with immediate protection and peace of mind. This success not only safeguarded my assets but also prompted the defendant in agreeing to release all outstanding monies owing to me from her bank account. I extend my heartfelt thanks to my legal team for their unwavering support and exceptional skill in achieving this crucial outcome. I highly recommend Adam Haffenden’s services to anyone facing similar challenges, he really is at the top of his game in this area of law. — Client
