Forbes Solicitors LLP

Forbes Solicitor's have got me through a very difficult time. They helped me contest a Will, which has been successful. Everyone has been so supportive, knowledgeable and empathetic from the start, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have worked on a claim with Lisa Atkinson for the last 2 and a half years. It was a long and drawn out process due to the company we were claiming from denying all liability. Throughout the whole process she has been informative, professional and kind. She has always explained each stage and why we had to do it. We eventually settled out of court, just prior to the court case. She has always been completely open with fees and has never complained at the ridiculous amount of questions that I asked on a monthly basis! Thank you so much for helping me through this and getting the outcome I desired. I would genuinely recommend Forbes to any of my friends.

Stephen and the wider Forbes team have been a trusted source of legal advice and support throughout our dealings. They consistently provide clear, practical and commercially focused guidance, combining strong technical expertise with an ability to explain complex matters in a straightforward and accessible way. What particularly distinguishes Stephen is his ability to provide balanced, pragmatic advice whilst remaining approachable and responsive throughout the process. He takes the time to understand the wider context and objectives behind each matter, ensuring that his guidance is not only legally sound but also practical and aligned to business needs. His professionalism, attention to detail and calm, measured approach inspire confidence, even when dealing with more complex issues. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen and Forbes to any business or individual seeking high-quality legal support from a team that is both highly knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
