Compensation

We cannot thank John Bennett at Forbes Solicitors enough for the excellent service he provided throughout our accident compensation claim. From our first conversation to the successful conclusion of our case, John was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. He kept us informed at every stage, always returned our calls and emails promptly, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. His dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome gave us complete confidence throughout the process. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our claim and truly appreciate all of John's hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend John Bennett to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and caring solicitor. Thank you again for everything.

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

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

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.

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.

Disgrace of a firm, these solicitors where chosen to act on behalf of together housing association in regards to selling my share of my shared ownership property, essentially just the middle man from my buyers solicitors and my solicitor. Whole process took 5 months because response times where nothing short of a disgrace. Case handler Claire wouldn’t speak to me because I wasn’t the client even tho I was having to pay the final bill so surely I am the client? So after 5 months of very poor service they then had the cheek to send me a bill of £2775 and my buyer a bill of around £700!! For doing literally nothing! They were just the middle man!! I paid my other 2 solicitors just over that total amount combined who had to do all the usual conveyancing bits and pieces. I had to ask my solicitor to double check that Claire hadn’t fell onto a calculator and just thought “that’ll do” £2775!!? Wow When challenged on the amount the response was a snapshot of some small print in my shared ownership lease stating a charge of up to 1.5% or some croc and bull, so basically they charged that because they can. So thanks for robbing me blind and thanks again for a terrible service. Stay well clear of Forbes
