Outstanding experience

5* experience all round.
Elle was extremely professional throughout. We were very fortunate to have Elle for our crown court case. She always explained everything really well, answered all our questions and advised with fantastic legal knowledge as it was all new to us. Communication throughout was exceptional, always contactable. Elle was kind, caring and gave us reassurance during a very stressful time for our family. We can’t recommend her enough always went above and beyond.
We got the outcome we wanted due to Elle’s outstanding work and dedication to our case. We will always be greatful. An absolute pleasure to work with. She is a credit to Forbes solicitors ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Solicitor

Javaid was very professional and easy to talk to throughout my court process. Javaid was able to talk me through the process so that I understand what would happen.

I am pleased with my court result it is exactly what Javaid said would happen. Due to Javaids help he was able to reduce my legal aid contributions. He managed to negotiate a plea quickly with the Prosecution, managed to get a quick sentence hearing, this all reduced the length of time my case would take and the financial cost by way of legal aid contributions.

I would highly recommend Javaid to anyone looking for a solicitor.

We were really pleased by the support and advice that Jav gave us throughout the six month ordeal. Jav shared relevant information with us and was always available to answer any of our queries, be that via email or telephone. He went above and beyond to re-assure us that he, on behalf of Forbes, was doing their best to represent and support our son. During the trial at the Crown Court, Jav was always there, explaining the workings of the court, as all this was new to us and how the trial was proceeding. It was re-assuring to have Jav in our 'corner'.

Superb service

My experience with Javaid Sabrine has been superb! My son was in a very difficult, unusual situation as he is not a citizen of the UK and I am out of the country. Javaid handled everything with extreme professionalism, and has always responded to my calls and emails very promptly. His responses are clear and detailed, so that I know exactly what is going on. Javaid has great experience and expertise and I have great confidence in his work. Additionally, Javaid is a pleasure to work with and is kind to both my son and me. We are extremely fortunate to have found someone who is so exceptional! He has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs his services.

Family matters

I split with the mother of my child in April and for a while she was making my relationship with my daughter extremely difficult. I had txt messages ignored, access denied, abused, belittled and told that being a dad is just a title. Lucy was fantastic in the help and support she gave me throughout the whole proccess which was extremely stressful and in the end I was happy with the outcome and I now can be a father to my little girl. I never got the feeling I was being dealt with as 'just another client' and I felt there was a personal touch from Lucy which was huge in helping me.

Aysha Ali Many thanks for your excellent work on my behalf. You were so thorough, persistent, fair and transparent. I shall always say, “I had the best possible solicitor” to fight my cause. The support you provided me was above and beyond anything I had previously received. It was your professionalism and the personal and effective responses which made a difficult time for me a lot more bearable. A true credit to your company. I’m with great privilege to write this review to ensure and promise any future clients with Ayha’s will be at peace. The service she will provide is amazing but it’s the safety she brings is outstanding. Without doubt she will grasp all aspects and deliver promptly with her ambition and dedication to provide indefinite justice. Mashallah.

Very poor at returning calls, I requested a call back, missed the call and received an answer phone message with a name and number to return the call. Impossible to get through and left 2 answer phone messages with no reply. I have chosen to give a 2 star review as they did originally try to make contact.
