Professional & Reliable represantation

After spending fair amount of time to identify the right firm & solicitor for my negligence claim, I have nominated Ms Lisa Atkinson at Forbes Solicitors as my solicitor. As this was my first legal claim experience, I was a bit nerveous with overall process. Lisa and her team took on my negligence claim with professionalism and clarity. They communicated complex legal issues in clearly from the beginning , kept me informed at every stage, and ultimately secured the compensation I deserved. I would like to thank Lisa Atkinson and the team at Forbes Solicitors for their outstanding support and expertise . Highly recommended for anyone needing specialist legal advice.

Witnessing and certifying documents

I needed a legal document signature to be quickly witnessed and certified. I rang up Forbes in Blackburn, who said I could come in same day. Lisa sorted it out for me quickly and without fuss. Most solicitors are pre-occupied with their hourly charge rate. Forbes Blackburn are interested in helping their customers. Thanks...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Leonie Millard is an outstanding solicitor who has dedicated her career to helping clients who gives her clients a voice when they might not have one themselves due to their disability. She is very responsive in responding to queries about my relatives case and replies to e-mails and phone-calls very quickly which is an excellent trait in a solicitor. She was very compassionate, caring, and committed to the outcome of my relatives case which was a very good outcome and secured justice for her. Leonie's service over the past four years has been absolutely perfect and she is supported by an excellent team of Carole Purdie (her secretary) who is on the ball and does her best to support client queries too. I would rate Forbes Solicitors 5/5 stars and I can't identify any recommendations on how they improve their services because they provided a consistent perfect service over the past four years!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’d like to sincerely thank Paolo Passerini from Forbes – what an absolute gentleman. Highly recommended. I found myself in court for a minor driving offence that really shouldn’t have gone that far. I didn’t think I needed a solicitor, but when I tried to explain myself, I struggled to get my point across clearly. By sheer luck, Mr. Passerini happened to be in the courtroom waiting for his next case. He could see I was having a hard time, and—completely unprompted—stood up and offered me free legal advice. The court was then adjourned so I could seek proper representation. Mr. Passerini took the time to review all the documents, gave me excellent guidance, and ended up standing beside me in court, pleading my case—all out of kindness and good will. He didn’t charge me a penny. He saw I was just an ordinary working person trying to navigate a tough situation. I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. He’s a rare kind of professional—someone who fights for what’s right, not for financial gain, but because he cares about people. A true gentleman with a big heart. Thank you again, Mr. Passerini. I hope one day I can repay the favour.

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.

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.
