Myself and siblings cannot fault the work that John Lambe and Constance Yates put in for us. They were very thorough and went through all options with us and were very approachable if we had any queries. We would highly recommend John and Constance.

Contentious Probate issue handled with skill and expertly resolved

Due to a difficult matter involving the distribution of an estate by chance we came upon an expert in the field in the form of John Lambe. His clear advice and decisive actions in an assertive 'can do' manner, saved the estate tens of thousands of pounds. Cannot praise the calibre of this lawyer enough. Thank you so much!

I was looking for a solicitor to contest a will, and I called around 4 different companies initially for advice. When I spoke to John from Forbes I knew straight away that I would be in good hands, he is so knowledgeable and professional. He has been working on my case for a few months now and has kept me updated at every step, I feel very confident we will have the best outcome possible, highly recommend.
