    Excellent service and communication throughout

    I had a great experience with Ashley. He made himself available for any queries I had and even made sure that I was taken care of even if he wasn't in the office. He was extremely thorough and made sure to explain the detail and any implications of decisions. I would highly recommend him and Forbes.

    Professional, patient and helpful

    I do not like reading small print and Ashley explained everything in a very clear and concise manner, that even I could understand. He is always willing to speak to me and answer any queries I have. Considering the importance of things we need the expertise of a Solicitor for, I would definitely recommend him.
