1 am extremely grateful to my solicitor for their support and guidance during such a difficult time involving child contact and domestic abuse. They listened to me understood my situation and supported me every step of the wav. When I felt had no support, even from my own relatives, they were there for me. Their kindness professionalism and dedication meant so much to me. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a difficult family situation.

Family & Social Services situation

Forbes Solicitors or more importantly Elizabeth Ashcroft assisted me with legal advice in a social services situation. After months of reviews & evaluations of everything that’s been worked on. It’s finally blown over. If it wasn’t for Elizabeth I’d still be in the same spot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, the service I received was professional, efficient, and reassuring. A special thank you to Simon and Ian, who were both knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to take the time to explain everything clearly throughout the process. What really stood out was the level of communication and attention to detail. Every query was dealt with promptly, and I always felt informed and supported. It’s clear that Forbes Solicitors have built an excellent team, as every member of staff I dealt with was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their clients. If you’re looking for experienced solicitors, legal advice, conveyancing services, dispute resolution, employment law support, personal injury claims, family law assistance, or general legal services, I would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Solicitors. Their professionalism, expertise, and client-focused approach make them one of the best law firms I have dealt with. Thank you again to Simon, Ian, and the entire Forbes team for your outstanding service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It’s been a long journey with Leonie (Forbes), but one with a successful outcome. Throughout that time Leonie has been professional, thorough and ensured I was fully informed. Due to the nature of the case, it has been difficult but Leonie has always been sensitive and compassionate. At every step of the process I have felt informed and aware of what was happening and the next steps. Leonie has helped guide me and support me throughout the case.

Driving case, Lavender Hill, Monday 5 October

The case was excellently handled by Simon Gretton who was calm and clear throughout. The argument was well thought through even though in the end it was not heard. The CPS offered no evidence once Simon had persuaded the court not to accept a hearsay exemption.

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.

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!

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.
