It was important for me that I felt heard and understood. Legal representation alone was not enough me, I needed to feel understood and that there was complete transparency and trust felt by both parties. Stella did an amazing job listening to my account and my concerns. I felt supported by the service I received from her. The firm really does take a proactive approach. They are able to spend more time and resources on your case and deal with it in a timely manner. As such they are well worth their fees.

Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to assist and I wish you all the best going forward.

Obviously there’s only so much I can share but lest to say my solicitor was the best. Stella’s communication was excellent throughout they were understanding and took great care to make sure that all the details were 100% correct and covered in their entirety before moving on. Their unrelenting drive was inspirational and really gave me the hope and reassurance I needed. I also got the result I needed/wanted and more so justified. Thank you so much Stella.

Dear Marco, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Best wishes from us all at Forrest Williams

A great team! My caseworker went above and beyond. I'm so used to legal firms being so cold and distant. Stella was perfect, offering emotional support where she could alongside legal advice. Thanks Stella and team.

Hi Jonathan, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I am delighted to read your positive feedback. Best wishes for the future, Stella

I was placed in a difficult situation when I was pulled over by the police for doing 79mph in a 40mph zone. As my job requires driving, my employment was at risk due to a potential ban looming over me. I happen to stumble across Forrest Williams when comparing a wide range of solicitors and I am very happy I went ahead with them. For the price you pay you certainly get first class service. Firstly, Stella Bates who helped me from my initial enquiry to the end of my case was superb. She was super responsive and helpful whenever I had any queries, absolutely amazing at her job. Secondly, my selected barrister Margaret Anucha was equally as superb, her professionalism and work ethic on the day despite being extremely busy with other clients was beyond excellent. My outcome was simply 6 points and a fine, which is way beyond what I was expecting considering my speed. I would highly recommend Forrest Williams and if possible using specifically Margaret and Stella if you have a similar case to mine.
