Contest a will

I have used Forbes Solicitors on a few occasions before and that’s why I returned to them again for help. Dawn was a excellent solicitor who helped me with contesting a will, Dawn was very knowledgeable about this and was very supportive and understanding with the matter, was very supportive and was at the other end of a phone when I needed help with understanding things and got me through a difficult and stressful times, so l would recommend Dawn to anyone. Thank you again Dawn for all your hard work and dedication and good luck.

Professional, courteous and empathetic

Being caught up in a contentious probate matter through no fault of my own, Dawn guided me through my options across 10 months with empathy and professionalism. Her knowledge is second to none and she kept me in the loop consistently, and laid out future steps and decisions in a manner that made it easy for me to understand. No matter what was received from the opposing solicitor, and the case took many twists and turns, Dawn took the matter through to a successful conclusion. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend Dawn and Forbes.

Contentious will

Dawn supported over the last 18 months, while dealing with the details of my mother’s will and the opposing party. She was patient and professional when sometimes I losing my patience. Forbes also offered me a payment plan which extremely helpful while trying to manage other bills. 100% recommend Dawn and the team at Forbes.
