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.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Isobel and Leonie. Both acted very professionally from the very start to finish. They kept me updated with calls and emails throughout my claim. They fully supported me at a very difficult time, taking all the pressure off me. I’m truly thankful for everything they’ve done. I would highly recommend Forbes Solicitors to anyone looking for honest, compassionate, and effective legal support.

Lisa Atkinson- compensation

I contacted Forbes solicitors after my sun recieved a burn to his chest while at nursery, due to my son's SEND needs i didn't remove him from the nursery as he only had a year left before starting school , Lisa talked me through the process of claiming compensation for him which he could then access once he's 18 years old. Throughout this process Lisa has kept me up to date with everything that has been going on and remained professional and understanding throughout, she even managed to claim more than we expected to receive in relation to my son's compensation which was a credit to her hard work and dedication. Thank you Lisa !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

Highly trained associates, legal assistants and support staff. Based on my experience, if you are considering legal advice I would highly recommend Forbes as they are responsive and upfront about costs and your options. I was dealt with me in a professional way and showed patience and understanding during my many enquiries. Many thanks for your excellent work on my behalf. I found solicitors to be very thorough, fair and transparent. I had the best possible solicitors to fight my cause. I felt that they went above and beyond to assist with getting the best outcome for me. On the whole, my experience from start to finish was excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future. Once again, thank you to Rosalind Leahy/ Robin Bower. Forbes Solicitors

Clinical Negligence

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.

Kate helped us sell a commercial property held in a SIPP. We had a brilliant experience from start to finish. She made the whole process seem straight forward and guided us through everything along the way. She was always available to answer any questions and kept us informed throughout.

Sale and purchase of property

From the day we engaged with the conveyancing team at Forbes we knew we were in safe hands. Reception staff were always so helpful and extremely cheerful which was a bonus when things got a little stressful! The conveyancing team were almost always contactable (time of year holidays left some short staffing) but we accepted that and a quick email to all the team soon resulted in a response. We are most grateful for the team’s professionalism and pragmatic approach in particular regarding the sale of our property which at times was hindered by agencies outside of our control. Jennifer dealt with this amazingly and reassured us regularly. Contracts and completion were achieved without issue and our requests for dates were fulfilled. Our only suggestion for full client satisfaction would be timely updates on the Forbes app it looked like a great system which keeps buyers and sellers updated and the progress bar is a reassuring sign that things are moving forward (this was a little slow to be updated and near completion was not updated at all ). We highly recommend Forbes Solicitors - thank you

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.

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.

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.
