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.

After a difficult few months losing my mum and dad, Ashley showed impeccable empathy in handling our delicate situation. He is a credit to his firm and his profession. I cannot speak highly enough of Ashley and the services he’s has provided.
