Thank you So much

I phoned Forbes in Blackburn for some help with a horrible situation. The office Manager was lovely and she found me a Solicitor. The Solicitors who worked with me were Mr. Graeme Parkinson and Mr Bradley Hayes. Both definitely listened to me, whilst being straight, upfront and honest throughout the situation. They were mindful of the best outcome for my personal life needs. I found all Forbes Staff over the phones and when I met them a pleasure to meet, very efficient, all their work was carried out to bring about the Best outcome. I would definitely ask Forbes again and recommend them to friends and any body who needs the expert help of a Solicitor who really tries for you. With gratitude always Angela Anderson

Couldn’t be more happy!

Graeme Parkinson was an amazing lawyer and always kept me informed throughout the process. He had a friendly approach which made the situation feel a lot less daunting whilst still being very professional and informative. Sam hinds was also great and carried a very similar approach. Couldn’t be more grateful!

Outstanding representation, highly recommended

Having been informed that an allegation was made against me, I contacted Forbes and asked to speak to someone. I spoke to Graeme Parkinson, an extremely knowledgeable and time served lawyer who guided me as to what the process would be. Graeme was extremely friendly, and kept me upto date throughout the process, including pre and post voluntary interview. Once the powers that be confirmed there was no case to answer, Graeme informed me immediately. I honestly can’t recommend Graeme and all at Forbes enough (a special mention to Karen W as well). If anyone needs any form of representation, advice or guidance, I would suggest and recommend Forbes.

Highly Recommended.

From the moment I was put into contact with Forbes I honestly can't fault their service. They were professional, supportive, and challenging (in the right way!) and kept me fully informed of my case from start to finish. I can't recommend them highly enough.
