Making you Will is not an easy subject to talk about but it was made painless by the excellent personal service provided by Ashley Marshall.

I got in contact with Rebecca regarding my late mother and father estate. The estate was left in a discretionary trust and we had family members disputing it as they got both off my parents wills online so the solicitors emails starting coming from them .After contacting Rebecca and having a meeting she explained everything to us about the trust and the way forward. After one email to my family members solicitor which Rebecca had worded perfectly we have not had any more emails. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone without hesitation and if we need help in the future regarding this matter we will definitely be in contact with her.

I had a great experience with Ashley. He made himself available for any queries I had and even made sure that I was taken care of even if he wasn't in the office. He was extremely thorough and made sure to explain the detail and any implications of decisions. I would highly recommend him and Forbes.

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
Thank you, Aggie, for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that Lucy and Imogen have supported you so well throughout this matter. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you all the best moving forward.
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.

From the first time I enquired, the Forbes team have been very compassionate and willing. Nicola who then took over the case, was and has been very efficient, professional and above all very understanding of my plight. She also was patient as my comprehnesion of English was not that brilliant.. but she took time to ensure that I grapsed all the rlevant details. Thank you so much Phary

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you found Nicola compassionate and supportive from the very beginning, and that your case was handled efficiently and professionally. It’s especially important to us that everything was clearly explained and understood. Your kind words truly mean a great deal.
I was looking for a solicitor to contest a will, and I called around 4 different companies initially for advice. When I spoke to John from Forbes I knew straight away that I would be in good hands, he is so knowledgeable and professional. He has been working on my case for a few months now and has kept me updated at every step, I feel very confident we will have the best outcome possible, highly recommend.

Extremely grateful to Gareth and the team at Forbes for their outstanding legal representation. Gareth guided me through every stage with impeccable communication, resulting in a notice of discontinuance being issued. A benchmark 10/10 service—I couldn't be happier with the result.

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, providing outstanding support, professionalism, and reassurance every step of the way. During what was a very stressful and difficult time, he made me feel supported, listened to, and confident that I was in good hands. His dedication, communication, and commitment were exceptional, and I am truly grateful for everything he did. It is clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them. I would recommend Sam without hesitation to anyone looking for an outstanding criminal defence solicitor. Thank you, Sam, for everything you have done

Simply exemplary I recently engaged Forbes Solicitors Manchester and I was represented by a Miss Niamh Monaghan. With legal matters, inevitably come endless questions and/or concerns. My questions were met directly and accompanied by welcome advice and information and my concerns were swiftly put rest. I found Miss Monaghan to be meticulous in her work, professional, competent and diligent yet being understanding ,patient and empathetic whilst remaining most personable and affable. If Miss Monaghan is indeed the measure of the quality of service expected and offered by Forbes solicitors then I have no hesitation in highly recommending both Forbes Solicitors LLP and Miss Monaghan. Forbes solicitors and Miss Monaghan have my utmost thanks and appreciation. Should I ever need legal counsel again I will not pause before contacting them immediately.

Gill has helped me with a number of matters over the years and I really couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is clear, professional and always provides honest, practical advice, while genuinely taking the time to understand your situation and what you need. I would highly recommend Gill and Forbes to anyone looking for legal support that is professional, approachable and easy to understand. You never feel like just another case, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the people they’re supporting. A special thank you as well to Hollie and Christine, who have both been fantastic throughout. Gill and the whole team at Forbes are amazing!
