Outstanding Service and Successful Outcome

I had an excellent experience working with my solicitor. From the very beginning, he was professional, approachable, and highly reliable. He was always available to take my calls and made sure to respond promptly to my emails. What stood out the most was how clearly he explained every step of the process. He broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout my application. I am especially grateful for the positive outcome of my application. It was successful, and I truly believe his expertise and dedication made a big difference. I am very happy I chose to work with him and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and supportive solicitor.

Highly Reccomended

Sam represented me in a recent motoring offence case, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. He was professional throughout and made the entire process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Sam took the time to fully understand my situation, and I genuinely felt that he listened to my concerns and appreciated the circumstances involved. His advice and support gave me confidence at every stage of the case. It was also clear that Sam is highly knowledgeable in his field and well respected within the court. His experience and professionalism were evident throughout the proceedings, which gave me great reassurance during what could otherwise have been a very stressful experience. I would highly recommend Sam and Forbes Solicitors to anyone seeking legal representation.

Absolutely fantastic from start to completion!

Ashley / Forbes have been fantastic to deal with. After looking around and meeting with other solicitors to help with our wills, we finally settled on using Ashley and Forbes following a recommendation. It was the right choice. Ashley has been great to deal with - somehow simplifying a quite complex (from our perspective) arrangement of wills and trusts to protect the whole family. We have been so impressed we have decided to use Ashley and Forbes for additional work with the rest of our family. We would not hesitate to recommend Forbes and Ashley to any interested party. Thank you!

Ashley came highly recommended by a relative of mine and he certainly lived up to his reputation! Not only did he explain everything in detail but in a way that I understood without being patronising! He is also very kind, caring and friendly yet remained professional throughout! If I was unable to speak to Ashley the team were also friendly and very helpful! I will certainly recommend Ashley and the team to friends and family.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, the service I received was professional, efficient, and reassuring. A special thank you to Simon and Ian, who were both knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to take the time to explain everything clearly throughout the process. What really stood out was the level of communication and attention to detail. Every query was dealt with promptly, and I always felt informed and supported. It’s clear that Forbes Solicitors have built an excellent team, as every member of staff I dealt with was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their clients. If you’re looking for experienced solicitors, legal advice, conveyancing services, dispute resolution, employment law support, personal injury claims, family law assistance, or general legal services, I would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Solicitors. Their professionalism, expertise, and client-focused approach make them one of the best law firms I have dealt with. Thank you again to Simon, Ian, and the entire Forbes team for your outstanding service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My company had some problems getting paid off of a client for some subcontracting works done at Christmas time. I spoke with Michael Swan at Forbes on the phone and after a small fee he had written up the legal document to ensure the client paid within a set time frame… the letter never even made the mail box. 4 and a half hours later they had settled the invoice in full on the same day after nearly 4 months of myself requesting payment. 100% recommend if you are having problems with payments then Michael is the man to speak too. What an amazing results after being owed thousands for nearly 4 months.

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We’re delighted Michael was able to help resolve the matter so quickly and achieve a positive outcome for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Forbes Solicitors, and we wish you and your business all the very best moving forward.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Simon Gretton, a partner in the crime department, who oversaw my case from the outset. Even though the situation was incredibly difficult and, realistically, the prospects were limited, Simon approached everything with professionalism, honesty, and a calm, steady confidence that I found hugely reassuring. Throughout the process, Simon was clear, direct, and transparent about what I could expect, while still doing everything possible to steer the case toward the best achievable outcome. His experience was evident in the way he assessed the situation, guided me through each stage, and ensured every detail was carefully considered. What made an especially meaningful difference was the way Simon used his dry, well timed humour to lift my spirits during some very dark and stressful moments. Those moments of lightness helped me stay grounded and reminded me I wasn’t going through it alone — something I genuinely appreciated more than I can express. After months of uncertainty, having someone with Simon’s expertise, candour, and human touch managing my case made a significant difference. I felt listened to, supported, and properly represented at every stage. I am truly grateful for his time, commitment, and guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon Gretton to anyone in need of experienced, straightforward, and highly capable legal representation.
