Dental Negligence Claim

I cannot thank John Bennett enough for all his help and support throughout my dental negligence claim. From the outset, John was extremely professional, approachable and reassuring. Everything was explained to me clearly and in a way that I could understand, which made what could have been a very daunting and complicated process much easier to deal with. I was kept extremely well informed throughout and always felt that I could ask questions and would receive a clear and helpful response. Most importantly, I always felt that I was in safe hands. I knew that John had my best interests at heart and I had complete confidence in his advice and guidance throughout the process. After I had seen the dental expert, John put forward a claim for £20,000, which was accepted. I was so happy when the settlement was agreed, particularly after everything I had been through. The outcome means a great deal to me and will make a real difference in helping me deal with the consequences of what happened. I am incredibly grateful to John for his professionalism, knowledge, patience and support throughout my claim. He made a difficult experience much more manageable and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone who needs help with a dental negligence claim. Thank you, John, for everything you have done for me.

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.

There are not enough superlatives

This organisation is incredible. I arrived in a very difficult situation, with the specific help of Loretta and Paul I was supported both emotionally and legally through a my difficulties. Professional and exceptionally knowledgable I was able to secure the outcomes I needed. Alongside this they are kind, gentle and full of empathy despite having to deal with difficult circumstances. I hope I never need their services again but if I do - I wouldn't look anywhere else.

Amazing service.

Not only has Aimee provided incredible legal help, she has also supported emotionally and always understood and sympathised with my situation and how it was affecting me. Aimee was extremely helpful with everything I asked of her and always responded to me professionally, and efficiently. Despite the circumstances of me needing Aimee’s assistance, it was a pleasure.

Simply exemplary I recently engaged Forbes Solicitors Manchester and I was represented by a Miss Niamh Monaghan. With legal matters, inevitably come endless questions and/or concerns. My questions were met directly and accompanied by welcome advice and information and my concerns were swiftly put rest. I found Miss Monaghan to be meticulous in her work, professional, competent and diligent yet being understanding ,patient and empathetic whilst remaining most personable and affable. If Miss Monaghan is indeed the measure of the quality of service expected and offered by Forbes solicitors then I have no hesitation in highly recommending both Forbes Solicitors LLP and Miss Monaghan. Forbes solicitors and Miss Monaghan have my utmost thanks and appreciation. Should I ever need legal counsel again I will not pause before contacting them immediately.

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!

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.
