    Absolutely fantastic from start to completion!

    Ashley / Forbes have been fantastic to deal with. After looking around and meeting with other solicitors to help with our wills, we finally settled on using Ashley and Forbes following a recommendation. It was the right choice. Ashley has been great to deal with - somehow simplifying a quite complex (from our perspective) arrangement of wills and trusts to protect the whole family. We have been so impressed we have decided to use Ashley and Forbes for additional work with the rest of our family. We would not hesitate to recommend Forbes and Ashley to any interested party. Thank you!

    Ashley came highly recommended by a relative of mine and he certainly lived up to his reputation! Not only did he explain everything in detail but in a way that I understood without being patronising! He is also very kind, caring and friendly yet remained professional throughout! If I was unable to speak to Ashley the team were also friendly and very helpful! I will certainly recommend Ashley and the team to friends and family.

    Excellent service

    Ashley has extensive knowledge and has dealt with many complicated issues around wills, and inheritance for me over the years. He has recently given me solid advice and updated my will trust. As usual this was done with knowledge, efficiency and politeness.

    Very Helpful and Understanding

    Ashley is friendly which put me at ease and I felt I could ask him to go through anything again if I didn't quite understand the process. He has put my mind at rest after I was taken in by an unprofessional Company. I would highly recommend him and Forbes to anyone.
