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.

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.

Courteous, listened to what I believed I had to do, gave advice in a clear and professional manner and took time to explain professional ‘jargon’ in common sense terms. Very pleased I chose Forbes

From the first time I enquired, the Forbes team have been very compassionate and willing. Nicola who then took over the case, was and has been very efficient, professional and above all very understanding of my plight. She also was patient as my comprehnesion of English was not that brilliant.. but she took time to ensure that I grapsed all the rlevant details. Thank you so much Phary

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you found Nicola compassionate and supportive from the very beginning, and that your case was handled efficiently and professionally. It’s especially important to us that everything was clearly explained and understood. Your kind words truly mean a great deal.
I was looking for a solicitor to contest a will, and I called around 4 different companies initially for advice. When I spoke to John from Forbes I knew straight away that I would be in good hands, he is so knowledgeable and professional. He has been working on my case for a few months now and has kept me updated at every step, I feel very confident we will have the best outcome possible, highly recommend.

Forbes have been our solicitors for a number of years now, their services have always been great. There is often frustration when it comes to buying/selling property, but Kathryn kept us informed and pushed to meet our deadlines.

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.
