Clinical Negligence

Excellent and compassionate service throughout a difficult case

My case was a medical negligence claim relating to my late mother, which was naturally a very difficult and emotional process for our family. Leonie and her team were excellent throughout. Leonie was always understanding and empathetic, communicated clearly and kept me fully informed at every stage. She took the time to explain the process, make sure I understood the possible outcomes and ensured that I always knew where we stood with the case. As a result of Leonie’s tireless commitment, hard work and professionalism, we were able to reach a fair settlement, and we are extremely happy with the outcome. We are incredibly grateful to Leonie and her team for everything they have done for us. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

London Magistrates 27th to 28th August

Let, me introduce myself,I am at 63 year old male with an wife of 25 years and an daughter of 18. We all reside in Barnsley South Yorkshire, please don’t hold that against us as I was supporting the Manchester side in the latest cricket final at Lords in the hundred and yes an older parent. Both myself and my family have never been in trouble with the police or any other authorities other than speeding tickets and parking. On 31/5/25 on an family trip to London to see an show and sightseeing at Leicester Square underground to Waterloo both myself and my family where involved in an incident with another family I won’t go into too much details regarding the incident only to say that 6 months and 3 days after just before Xmas we received via post an serious allegations from the other party with dates to attend London Magistrates Court. Panic really did set in, the upshot of it all was that no local criminal solicitors in my home town or any other solicitor surrounding area Leeds, Sheffield would even look at the case and basically was dismissive of myself and my family The British Transport Police was of the same opinion. I was introduced to David via an family friend in Blackburn,David practices for Forbes Solicitors at various officers at Preston Lancashire. David and his team contacted myself and my family through out December and the Xmas period even including New Years Eve Throughout the 9 months leading up to the trial both David and such an hard working Lady Sarah now just did what they do professionally they was always there on the end of the phone no matter what time of day or time. Even in myself and family darkest hours Both was there in some capacity. I cannot imagine the toil and hours,days that these special individuals put into to represent me There will never be enough Thanks from myself and my family to these persons and with such professionalism ,Danielle the final piece in the Jigsaw who handled the case in London This trio where second to none no doubt there was other individuals in the Forbes institution which all contributed to my case. My advice to anyone who reads this testimony, is that the recommendation of Forbes Solicitors should be a priority to anyone who as injustice situations. Please always tell the truth to these people and justice will prevail. Kindest Regards to anyone what reads this review Chris Andrea and Francesca

I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Forbes Solicitors, particularly from Lucy and Imogen, who have been assisting me with a property sale dispute. Both have been extremely professional, friendly and approachable throughout. They have taken the time to listen to my concerns, explain matters clearly and keep me informed throughout the process. I have always felt that my situation was being handled with care and professionalism. It has been reassuring to have such supportive and knowledgeable people dealing with what has been a difficult and stressful matter. I really appreciate their help and the way they have handled my case so far. I would happily recommend Forbes Solicitors, and especially Lucy and Imojean, to anyone looking for professional, approachable and supportive legal assistance. Aggie

John Lambe acted for me in resolving a dispute with my late Father's estate. He took the time to understand the circumstances under which my Father signed the Will. At all times he was friendly, supportive and pragmatic. He has a vast knowledge of contentious probate, access to an exceptional Barrister, and together they were able to help me understand the complexities of the laws relating to my case. Navigating through such a difficult time was made much easier by having John in my corner. The right result was achieved and I would whole heartedly recommend Forbes to anyone in the position of having to contest a Will.

Disgrace of a firm, these solicitors where chosen to act on behalf of together housing association in regards to selling my share of my shared ownership property, essentially just the middle man from my buyers solicitors and my solicitor. Whole process took 5 months because response times where nothing short of a disgrace. Case handler Claire wouldn’t speak to me because I wasn’t the client even tho I was having to pay the final bill so surely I am the client? So after 5 months of very poor service they then had the cheek to send me a bill of £2775 and my buyer a bill of around £700!! For doing literally nothing! They were just the middle man!! I paid my other 2 solicitors just over that total amount combined who had to do all the usual conveyancing bits and pieces. I had to ask my solicitor to double check that Claire hadn’t fell onto a calculator and just thought “that’ll do” £2775!!? Wow When challenged on the amount the response was a snapshot of some small print in my shared ownership lease stating a charge of up to 1.5% or some croc and bull, so basically they charged that because they can. So thanks for robbing me blind and thanks again for a terrible service. Stay well clear of Forbes
