In her spare time, Geena enjoys going to the gym, spending time with family and friends and walking her dog.
Our team tirelessly defends some of the world’s most complex, highest-profile cases. Here is a taste of some of the most recent successful cases we worked on.
Client is an international student who was charged with rape after allegations being made by two separate complainants. The case proceeded to a two week trial. Following trial, the jury returned a verdict in relation to one of the allegations and were undecided in relation to the other thus resulting in a hung jury. The Prosecution took the decision to commence with a retrial in relation to the undecided matter. On day two of the retrial there was a lengthy abuse of process argument advanced by Holborn Adams, which resulted in the case being discontinued.
The client, accused of sexual communication with a child, was in a vulnerable position with significant consequences at stake. Holborn Adams took swift action, providing early pre-charge representations to the authorities. By dissecting weaknesses in the evidence and presenting clear, compelling arguments, they ensured the matter was resolved without escalation. As a result, the client faced no further action, avoiding the potential damage a trial could have caused to his personal and professional life.
The client faced a series of grave allegations, including attempted rape, attempting to have sex without consent, common assault, and coercive behaviour. After an extensive pre-charge representation process, Holborn Adams demonstrated the inadequacy of the evidence, leading to the decision by the Crown Prosecution Service to take no further action.
Our clients praise not only our results, but also the way we treat them. They feel informed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Read their experiences below.
My first contact with HA was with Fay and this was at 11:30pm! She set up a call as I was scared and worried about my future after some false accusations. I had no idea what to do next and who to turn to. This changed when I spoke to Fay, she reassured me and made me feel like she had my back and would sort out this problem. Throughout the whole process, she has been a massive emotional support for me, she will never understand how valuable that was, at such a bad time in my life. She is always on hand to respond or to speak to, a true professional and you can demonstrably see how much she cares about her clients. Thank you so much Fay! Then we move onto Adam, he is a powerhouse and clearly set the direction of the case and the points we needed to make at the right times. He is very clear and articulate about what the correct process/plan is, and this has proven to be correct on many occasions. He could see what was coming before it happened and had a plan in advance to head it off! I felt so reassured with him handling my case. His strategy and problem solving skills are the best I have seen! He is an absolute must have in your corner at all times! On top of being one of the best in the game globally he is very down to earth and really genuinely cares for his clients and I would now consider Adam a friend and I look forward to being able to repay him (and the team) at the earliest opportunity. Throughout the case I have also worked very closely with Geena. She is unbelievably good at her job and will have a great career. From the first time I met her, she really took time to understand me and also the case. She offered her perspective on how things were unfolding, and this was invaluable. To read her pre charge reps is akin to a work of art, it flows perfectly, raises the points in a correct manner and points to the obvious without being patronising. She is not only an exceptional lawyer but has the empathy to go alongside it. A theme that runs through the core of HA, Geena truly cares about the clients and the outcome. This is evident not only from when we got the NFA, the obvious joy and elation they all had but also the ongoing support they offered and continue to offer me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. Without question the hardest and darkest time of my life and what a team to trust!
I am writing to say thank you very much to you and everyone at HA for all you have done to lead, guide and assist me in my case to date. Right from the start - when we spoke just before Christmas 2022 - I knew I had made the correct decision in choosing HA. Thank you to you personally for setting me up with Akram and Geena, and then taking my case back over at the critical time, which I am sure was crucial to achieving the result we did. Your experience, clarity, approachability and wise counsel have all been so important - and much appreciated. I would like to place on record to you as a Director my appreciation of all the professional guidance and personal support I received from Geena. Geena has been simply outstanding - consistently on top of everything, meticulous, calm, clear, approachable, easily contactable.... thank you The choice of Guy as our expert counsel was indeed well judged and decisive. (Is he aware of the outcome please?) I am sure I am one of your smaller clients. I was never made to feel anything other than my case was your firm's priority. I would, of course, be happy to offer a review somewhere (anonymously) if that would be helpful.
