A great help at a difficult time
Lucy was a tremendous help to us during a difficult estate dispute. She is an excellent communicator of the legal realities and her advice is rooted in great experience. She is sympathetic, incisive, responsive, punctual and reliable, and has a very keen eye for detail. We are very grateful to Lucy for helping us bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion. It was a trying time but having her on our side made it more bearable.

Will dispute
Whilst a very challenging situation, Lucy has been a pleasure to deal with throughout. She is highly professional and knowledgeable and extremely responsive. She strikes the right balance between listening to requirements/thoughts/concerns whilst also steering the conversation along the most appropriate legal lines, all with the aim of achieving the right outcomes. Lucy demonstrates an appropriate empathy and is also creative, proposing solutions that may not have been immediately evident. All in all, recommended (not that we would want to have to employ her services too often!!)

Professional and helpful
I found Lucy and John to both be knowledgeable and friendly. They provided clear advice in simple language and guided decisions instead of dictating outcomes. Everyone at the firm has dealt with the case with great sensitivity and I would highly recommend them.

Look no further than Forbes Solicitors!
Lucy is a fantastic solicitor who really is a credit to her profession. Like many probate cases, the personal circumstances surrounding my situation were sensitive and emotionally challenging. During what can often be a complex and emotive time for clients, having the right solicitor makes a considerable difference. Lucy, although always highly professional, exudes a warm and amiable manner that consistently demonstrates understanding and compassion. On a practical level, Lucy is knowledgeable, experienced and efficient. Easy to reach, Lucy swiftly responds to any questions or queries and is always happy to further explain things if necessary. I cannot thank Lucy enough for her tenacity as a solicitor and her warmth as a person.
Forbes, as a company, are just and ethical. They give regular cost updates and are always forthcoming and transparent. They took on my case under a Conditional Fee Arrangement (No Win, No Fee). Upon a successful ADR, Senior Associate, Tom Howcroft, under no obligation, kindly ensured that I walked away with a previously discussed figure by means of reducing the success fee. This company evidently cares about their clients.
I would highly recommend instructing Forbes Solicitors.

Brilliant service from start to finish
Lucy and the whole team have been amazing. Kept me up to date and really listened to everything. Helped me understand the technical side of what was happening and what will happen next. I will happily use Forbes for life. I've had nothing but excellent and professional service from them. But also given in a friendly manner.

I had to contest a will of my partner who died. This is going to be a difficult situation. Lucy was very professional and always gave the time and explained things
Lucy was very approachable, and did not pre judge even though my situation was different and difficult
And I would recommend her and the company
