Claim with Lisa Atkinson

I experienced a car crash on the motorway in November 2025 where my car was written off. I got in contact with Lisa and she has guided me through every single step. Lisa has been amazing from the beginning, her communication has been great and has always got back to me so quickly, even late at night and early mornings. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone.

Supportive Service

I have worked on a claim with Lisa Atkinson for the last 2 and a half years. It was a long and drawn out process due to the company we were claiming from denying all liability. Throughout the whole process she has been informative, professional and kind. She has always explained each stage and why we had to do it. We eventually settled out of court, just prior to the court case. She has always been completely open with fees and has never complained at the ridiculous amount of questions that I asked on a monthly basis! Thank you so much for helping me through this and getting the outcome I desired. I would genuinely recommend Forbes to any of my friends.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

Leonie Millard is an outstanding solicitor who has dedicated her career to helping clients who gives her clients a voice when they might not have one themselves due to their disability. She is very responsive in responding to queries about my relatives case and replies to e-mails and phone-calls very quickly which is an excellent trait in a solicitor. She was very compassionate, caring, and committed to the outcome of my relatives case which was a very good outcome and secured justice for her. Leonie's service over the past four years has been absolutely perfect and she is supported by an excellent team of Carole Purdie (her secretary) who is on the ball and does her best to support client queries too. I would rate Forbes Solicitors 5/5 stars and I can't identify any recommendations on how they improve their services because they provided a consistent perfect service over the past four years!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’d like to sincerely thank Paolo Passerini from Forbes – what an absolute gentleman. Highly recommended. I found myself in court for a minor driving offence that really shouldn’t have gone that far. I didn’t think I needed a solicitor, but when I tried to explain myself, I struggled to get my point across clearly. By sheer luck, Mr. Passerini happened to be in the courtroom waiting for his next case. He could see I was having a hard time, and—completely unprompted—stood up and offered me free legal advice. The court was then adjourned so I could seek proper representation. Mr. Passerini took the time to review all the documents, gave me excellent guidance, and ended up standing beside me in court, pleading my case—all out of kindness and good will. He didn’t charge me a penny. He saw I was just an ordinary working person trying to navigate a tough situation. I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. He’s a rare kind of professional—someone who fights for what’s right, not for financial gain, but because he cares about people. A true gentleman with a big heart. Thank you again, Mr. Passerini. I hope one day I can repay the favour.

I would highly recommend this solicitors’ firm. Throughout a very stressful time, they provided excellent support, clear advice, and reassurance when I was feeling pessimistic and uncertain. Their professionalism and calm approach gave me confidence, and they also referred us to a very suitable and highly regarded barrister who was a great fit for our needs. I am extremely grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal support.

My company had some problems getting paid off of a client for some subcontracting works done at Christmas time. I spoke with Michael Swan at Forbes on the phone and after a small fee he had written up the legal document to ensure the client paid within a set time frame… the letter never even made the mail box. 4 and a half hours later they had settled the invoice in full on the same day after nearly 4 months of myself requesting payment. 100% recommend if you are having problems with payments then Michael is the man to speak too. What an amazing results after being owed thousands for nearly 4 months.

13/05/2026

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We’re delighted Michael was able to help resolve the matter so quickly and achieve a positive outcome for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Forbes Solicitors, and we wish you and your business all the very best moving forward.

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.
