Property litigation
John Lambe was working on my property litigation case for just over three years. Mr Lambe was absolutely brilliant, he was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. Mr Lambe was always patient and constantly reassuring, during those difficult three years. I would highly recommend Mr Lambe, he is an amazing solicitor.

Professional and helpful
I found Lucy and John to both be knowledgeable and friendly. They provided clear advice in simple language and guided decisions instead of dictating outcomes. Everyone at the firm has dealt with the case with great sensitivity and I would highly recommend them.

Tenacious and results driven
We instructed John Lambe on a highly sensitive family probate dispute. From day 1 he was direct, realistic and clear in his advice and we appreciated his candour. He also listened to our concerns and was keen to ensure we received the outcome we desired - which we did. We would highly recommend John and his team.

Contentious property dispute
Johns legal advice was effective, efficient, direct and transparent at all touch points. He listen and quickly got to grips with mattes by focusing minds on the important aspects of the case whilst ignoring the noise and thus avoiding excessive wasted fees. We mutually agreed on a legal position and solution to resolving the dispute. Which was resolved at pace and within costs as set out in advance. I’d highly recommend John as your litigation solicitor partner.

Property and Land Dispute
Forbes have been our legal team for the past 3 years, John, Daniel, Martin, Saul and Tom have been the team dealing with the complexities of this case. The amount of work, dedication, knowledge and advice we received was phenomenal. It was a very difficult and complex case and the input from each department was absolutely outstanding and would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone. They have given me and my family are lives back and we are eternally grateful and cannot thank them enough.

John Lambe
John has been helping me with a complicated situation of my mother passing and another family member making things even more awkward, he has stood by me solidly and given me some fantastic advice, not only on the situation, but kept costs down to a minimum, Mr. Lambe has also made me feel comfortable in such a bad situation, that I had every confidence in him to help me the best way he could, he is very firm and fair with a plethora of knowledge of my situation, I cannot thank him enough for his help and would highly recommend this gentleman to help anyone in such need when there is problematic family members after a death even when there hasn't been a will to go off of, I thank him greatly

Outstanding Solictor
I was recommended to instruct John by another solicitor to take on a complex will dispute and I can say without hesitation he would be the best person to have on your side and fight your corner.
Throughoutthe process he has been fully engaged with my best interests at heart. He was tenacious and produced an excellent outcome. If you want the best probate litigation solicitor I would highly recommend John and you will be in safe hands.
