Forbes Solicitors LLP

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.

Taking the first steps in recognising your need for legal representation and navigating the process can feel stressful and overwhelming. From day one, I felt Jen was there for me with a friendly, straightforward approach that immediately put me at ease. As a mum herself, I felt she genuinely understood and empathised with my situation. She took the time to listen, offered clear advice, and worked closely with me throughout the process. Jen was very approachable and responsive throughout my experience. Thanks to her expertise, we achieved the outcome I was hoping for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Jennifer was the ultimate professional and gave me the confidence to stand up for myself and challenge my employer who had treated me unfairly following my maternity leave. Jen supported me emotionally and guided me through the process. She went above and beyond and I cannot reccomend her enough!! Thank you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

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.
