Excellent Service - Thank You

David Scully was brilliant from our first contact, he outlined everything and never once deviated from the facts, the outcome possibilities and the defence I would receive, this I believe is why Im back at work with a guilty plea, I can’t thank him and the team enough

London Magistrates 27th to 28th August

Let, me introduce myself,I am at 63 year old male with an wife of 25 years and an daughter of 18. We all reside in Barnsley South Yorkshire, please don’t hold that against us as I was supporting the Manchester side in the latest cricket final at Lords in the hundred and yes an older parent. Both myself and my family have never been in trouble with the police or any other authorities other than speeding tickets and parking. On 31/5/25 on an family trip to London to see an show and sightseeing at Leicester Square underground to Waterloo both myself and my family where involved in an incident with another family I won’t go into too much details regarding the incident only to say that 6 months and 3 days after just before Xmas we received via post an serious allegations from the other party with dates to attend London Magistrates Court. Panic really did set in, the upshot of it all was that no local criminal solicitors in my home town or any other solicitor surrounding area Leeds, Sheffield would even look at the case and basically was dismissive of myself and my family The British Transport Police was of the same opinion. I was introduced to David via an family friend in Blackburn,David practices for Forbes Solicitors at various officers at Preston Lancashire. David and his team contacted myself and my family through out December and the Xmas period even including New Years Eve Throughout the 9 months leading up to the trial both David and such an hard working Lady Sarah now just did what they do professionally they was always there on the end of the phone no matter what time of day or time. Even in myself and family darkest hours Both was there in some capacity. I cannot imagine the toil and hours,days that these special individuals put into to represent me There will never be enough Thanks from myself and my family to these persons and with such professionalism ,Danielle the final piece in the Jigsaw who handled the case in London This trio where second to none no doubt there was other individuals in the Forbes institution which all contributed to my case. My advice to anyone who reads this testimony, is that the recommendation of Forbes Solicitors should be a priority to anyone who as injustice situations. Please always tell the truth to these people and justice will prevail. Kindest Regards to anyone what reads this review Chris Andrea and Francesca

A True Gentleman

Well what can I say? David was initially the duty solicitor on my brother’s case so it was a fortunate accident that we met. From first contact he was calm and reassuring. He made us see that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed and that he would help us every step of the way. He genuinely wanted to help and wasn’t driven by financial gain in the slightest. David went above and beyond to help my brother including taking calls at very unsociable hours and a-lot of traipsing about various locations across Lancashire. He was kind and mindful of our situation and never once made us feel like we were being judged. As for our outcome we decided to plead guilty to a lesser charge which was fully our decision, David informed us that whatever choice we make he would accept and defend us. Upon sentencing he was very vocal in ensuring that any punishment or obligations were negotiated to the lowest they could possibly be and had real presence in the courtroom . He has years of experience and it shows. Cant thank him enough from the bottom of my heart thank you David Scully for all you did for my brother.

absolutely amazing from from the very beginning HIGHLY recommend!!

after my recent run in with the police i felt duty solicitor didnt really care too much about my case so i opted for forbes, in which ii was allocated Mr. Scully. all i can say is WOW this man really cares about his clients he kept in constant contact with me throughout my proceedings and even out of hours which he is not obligated to do but did anyway because he genuinely cares THAT much about his clients and their wellbeing. i was terrified i was going to go to prison and wouldnt see my son for a very long time. Mr Scully assured me throughout my case i was in safe hands and i really was! today i got to go home to my son and for that i will forever be grateful to Mr Scully. if i could give him a hundred star rating i would he really is one of the best out there at what he does!
