Friendly, approachable, professional, knowledgeable

I was unexpectedly put in a situation where I had to seek legal advice following a breakup which my ex partner took badly. From the outset, Adrienne was incredibly reassuring and made it clear she had my back. I had never set foot in a courtroom before and was very nervous and emotional but having Adrienne literally by my side was such a huge help. Adrienne and her team were brilliant at keeping me up to date on the proceedings without showing me every communication from my ex-partner which was much appreciated as I was understandably very stressed about the whole situation.
I would have appreciated the same solicitor representing me through the whole case but I understand this is not possible due to being unable to rearrange court dates. The barristers and legal representation that Adrienne and team booked for me were all very good and I didn't have to explain the whole situation again. Adrienne was very skilled at explaining legal procedures and terminology in an easy-to-understand way, I couldn't have got through the most stressful time in my life without the invaluable support of her and her team.
I never thought I'd have to use a solicitors in this way, but I would not hesitate to use or recommend Adrienne and team again, although hopefully this will never happen again!

Michelle Kemp highly recommended

Had an accident at work and at first wasn’t going to claim but ended up with a scar on my face. Having used Forbes in the past and knowing Peter Dugdale I rang and had an informal chat with Peter who put me in touch with Michelle. The company I work for isn’t the best and this made me apprehensive about claiming but after talking to both Michelle and Peter realised whether I claimed or not the company I work for would still cause me problems. Once I started the claim everything went like clockwork and Michelle dealt with everything so it was one less worry for me. All I can say is I cannot recommend Fobes and especially Michelle enough who went above and beyond in dealing with my claim.
