Forbes were there when needed to give a very personal service. Exceptional!!

I am extremely pleased with the service I received from Forbes Solicitors. Graeme Parkinson and the team were friendly, approachable and professional throughout my case. They explained everything clearly, kept me informed of progress at every stage and were always available to answer any questions I had. The matter was handled efficiently and competently from start to finish, and I felt supported throughout the proceedings. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Solicitors to anyone requiring legal assistance.

I do not like reading small print and Ashley explained everything in a very clear and concise manner, that even I could understand. He is always willing to speak to me and answer any queries I have. Considering the importance of things we need the expertise of a Solicitor for, I would definitely recommend him.

We instructed Stephen McArdle in the Commercial Litigation team to represent us in a contractual dispute. They dealt with the other side effectively and managed to recover compensation for us as a result of a breach of contract. Our experience of the commercial litigation team was excellent - they were very professional throughout and explained the legal position and advice clearly. We would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes solicitors.

I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Forbes Solicitors, particularly from Lucy and Imogen, who have been assisting me with a property sale dispute. Both have been extremely professional, friendly and approachable throughout. They have taken the time to listen to my concerns, explain matters clearly and keep me informed throughout the process. I have always felt that my situation was being handled with care and professionalism. It has been reassuring to have such supportive and knowledgeable people dealing with what has been a difficult and stressful matter. I really appreciate their help and the way they have handled my case so far. I would happily recommend Forbes Solicitors, and especially Lucy and Imojean, to anyone looking for professional, approachable and supportive legal assistance. Aggie

John Lambe acted for me in resolving a dispute with my late Father's estate. He took the time to understand the circumstances under which my Father signed the Will. At all times he was friendly, supportive and pragmatic. He has a vast knowledge of contentious probate, access to an exceptional Barrister, and together they were able to help me understand the complexities of the laws relating to my case. Navigating through such a difficult time was made much easier by having John in my corner. The right result was achieved and I would whole heartedly recommend Forbes to anyone in the position of having to contest a Will.

Communication and correspondence has been outstandin,so very happy.

Disgrace of a firm, these solicitors where chosen to act on behalf of together housing association in regards to selling my share of my shared ownership property, essentially just the middle man from my buyers solicitors and my solicitor. Whole process took 5 months because response times where nothing short of a disgrace. Case handler Claire wouldn’t speak to me because I wasn’t the client even tho I was having to pay the final bill so surely I am the client? So after 5 months of very poor service they then had the cheek to send me a bill of £2775 and my buyer a bill of around £700!! For doing literally nothing! They were just the middle man!! I paid my other 2 solicitors just over that total amount combined who had to do all the usual conveyancing bits and pieces. I had to ask my solicitor to double check that Claire hadn’t fell onto a calculator and just thought “that’ll do” £2775!!? Wow When challenged on the amount the response was a snapshot of some small print in my shared ownership lease stating a charge of up to 1.5% or some croc and bull, so basically they charged that because they can. So thanks for robbing me blind and thanks again for a terrible service. Stay well clear of Forbes
