Would highly recommend and would certainly use again if required

Samuel was extremely kind but also very clear on what the possible outcomes could be. I was kept informed at every step and the barristers provided at Court were excellent. It was a very stressful time however Samuel, the Barristers and the rest of the staff at Forbes were really supportive at every stage. I wasn't at any time given any false hopes etc just realistic probabilities which is exactly what you need. I owe Samuel and everyone involved a great deal of thanks.

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.

Sale and purchase of property

From the day we engaged with the conveyancing team at Forbes we knew we were in safe hands. Reception staff were always so helpful and extremely cheerful which was a bonus when things got a little stressful! The conveyancing team were almost always contactable (time of year holidays left some short staffing) but we accepted that and a quick email to all the team soon resulted in a response. We are most grateful for the team’s professionalism and pragmatic approach in particular regarding the sale of our property which at times was hindered by agencies outside of our control. Jennifer dealt with this amazingly and reassured us regularly. Contracts and completion were achieved without issue and our requests for dates were fulfilled. Our only suggestion for full client satisfaction would be timely updates on the Forbes app it looked like a great system which keeps buyers and sellers updated and the progress bar is a reassuring sign that things are moving forward (this was a little slow to be updated and near completion was not updated at all ). We highly recommend Forbes Solicitors - thank you

A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that our conveyancing team provided professional and reassuring support throughout your property sale, particularly when challenges arose. We appreciate your recommendation and your comments on the app, which will help us continue to improve our service.

Listened to every single detail, and my wishes. Adviced me, and represented me with full transparency. Went above and beyond to ensure I understood and knew what was happening, taking my mental health and past experiences into account. Never judged and was always open and honest.

David Scully was brilliant from our first contact, he outlined everything and never once deviated from the facts, the outcome possibilities and the defence I would receive, this I believe is why Im back at work with a guilty plea, I can’t thank him and the team enough

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!

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.
