Dedicated, supportive and extremely helpful throughout the whole process

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. He was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, providing outstanding support, professionalism, and reassurance every step of the way. During what was a very stressful and difficult time, he made me feel supported, listened to, and confident that I was in good hands. His dedication, communication, and commitment were exceptional, and I am truly grateful for everything he did. It is clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them. I would recommend Sam without hesitation to anyone looking for an outstanding criminal defence solicitor. Thank you, Sam, for everything you have done

Solicitors Client review from Darren Y.

When I first got my court case, I had no idea who would be my solicitor when I went in asking for a duty free solicitor, didn’t really know what to expect. but then when I first had a chat with sam it really helped me and helped me feel a lot less anxious about the situation I was in, & all in was really helpful in the court room hearing, then not long after received another court case which Sam also helped me out with helping make sure I get the bare minimum punishment for. I would recommend asking for Samuel Hinds if you contact Forbes.

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.

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.

I cannot thank Marc Nasser enough for his exceptional support during an incredibly stressful and complex period for my family. From the very beginning, Marc was calm, strategic, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, ensured we understood our position, and acted decisively where it mattered most. His attention to detail and confidence in handling both financial and criminal aspects of the case made a huge difference to us. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we achieved a very positive outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Marc to anyone dealing with any criminal or POCA matters. He is thorough, experienced, and truly committed to achieving the best result for his clients.

Recently used Forbes Solicitors for my husband’s Crown Court case. Solicitor Nichola McTear provided an excellent service, and assisted by Rick Holland as the Barrister in court. We are very grateful for the expertise in a sensitive case. I cannot thank them enough. Highly recommended. I have no hesitation in using Forbes Solicitors for any legal matters in the future.

I highly recommend this firm and specifically Aimee, who has been absolutely amazing throughout my case. From start to finish, her communication was exceptional; she maintained regular contact, was always available to answer my calls, and listened attentively to everything I had to say. Aimee showed genuine empathy and understanding while delivering highly professional, top-tier legal advice that ultimately led to a great outcome. While I hope I won't require legal services again in the future, Aimee will undoubtedly be my first choice if I ever need a solicitor. Thank you for such an outstanding service!

Extremely grateful to Gareth and the team at Forbes for their outstanding legal representation. Gareth guided me through every stage with impeccable communication, resulting in a notice of discontinuance being issued. A benchmark 10/10 service—I couldn't be happier with the result.

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!

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.

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.
