Professional, Knowledgeable and Efficient

Ashley is excellent. As soon as I explained our situation, he had the answers and was 5 steps ahead at each stage. He was professional and extremely efficient. I had direct contact with Ashley and he was very responsive in a timely manner.

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!
