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.

RTA claim

I honestly cannot thank Lisa enough for all of her help and support throughout my road traffic accident claim. From the very beginning, Lisa has been incredibly responsive, approachable and professional. Over the many months she has dealt with my claim, there has never been a time where I have struggled to get through to her or been left waiting for answers. Whenever I have had any questions or concerns, she has always been easy to contact and has taken the time to respond and reassure me. I am dyslexic and dyspraxic, which can sometimes make understanding legal information and processes quite overwhelming. Lisa has gone above and beyond to make sure I have fully understood everything. She has never made me feel like I was asking too many questions and has happily explained things to me over and over again, breaking everything down into simple, basic terms whenever I needed it. She has been extremely patient, understanding throughout the whole process. Dealing with a claim after an accident can be stressful, but having Lisa handling everything made the process so much easier for me. Her communication and support have been absolutely outstanding, and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to anyone. Thank you so much, Lisa, for everything you have done for me. Your kindness, patience and dedication have genuinely been appreciated more than you know.

Gill has helped me with a number of matters over the years and I really couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is clear, professional and always provides honest, practical advice, while genuinely taking the time to understand your situation and what you need. I would highly recommend Gill and Forbes to anyone looking for legal support that is professional, approachable and easy to understand. You never feel like just another case, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the people they’re supporting. A special thank you as well to Hollie and Christine, who have both been fantastic throughout. Gill and the whole team at Forbes are amazing!

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.

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
