Legal Aid

We accessed legal aid via Forbes. The care and compassion was second to none. The knowledge and experience of the solicitor was exemplary, she made an extremely stressful and confusing process very clear and manageable for us. We can’t recommend Forbes enough. Thank you!

RUBINA is the most reliable solicitor I have ever dealt with. She explained everything in a clear understandable way and made sure I was kept up to date with everything. I felt like my case really mattered to her and that she really made sure shes going to the bottom of the case and solved it. I thank you guys for the helpful advice and support

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.

I really appreciate the time Lisa Atkinson has given me. I initially phoned for a bit of advice (not expecting much), however Lisa very kindly gave me her time and advice. Very professional and would highly recommend.

Good but not excellent

Solicitor Andrew Nottingham was very good after initially having a bad experience with one of Forbes other solicitors who left me feeling very angry. That's the reason for the 3* review.
