Overall, at every step of the process, you did not feel on your own; as Forbes (Kathryn Lofthouse) our main contact with Conveyancing and Elizabeth Whitaker for Probate were in touch just when needed, anticipating our needs. Forbes were there when needed to give a very personal service. Exceptional!!
I do not like reading small print and Ashley explained everything in a very clear and concise manner, that even I could understand. He is always willing to speak to me and answer any queries I have. Considering the importance of things we need the expertise of a Solicitor for, I would definitely recommend him.

We met our solicitor in the comfort of our home. Ashley was very friendly and professional. He listened carefully to our needs and informed us of our options to create and develop our Wills that best supported our wishes. He was very thorough explaining the law and the various legal requirements to make our Wills and POA effective. He clearly explained costings so there would be no cost surprises.

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
Thank you, Aggie, for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that Lucy and Imogen have supported you so well throughout this matter. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you all the best moving forward.
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.

From the first time I enquired, the Forbes team have been very compassionate and willing. Nicola who then took over the case, was and has been very efficient, professional and above all very understanding of my plight. She also was patient as my comprehnesion of English was not that brilliant.. but she took time to ensure that I grapsed all the rlevant details. Thank you so much Phary

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re so pleased to hear that you found Nicola compassionate and supportive from the very beginning, and that your case was handled efficiently and professionally. It’s especially important to us that everything was clearly explained and understood. Your kind words truly mean a great deal.
I was looking for a solicitor to contest a will, and I called around 4 different companies initially for advice. When I spoke to John from Forbes I knew straight away that I would be in good hands, he is so knowledgeable and professional. He has been working on my case for a few months now and has kept me updated at every step, I feel very confident we will have the best outcome possible, highly recommend.

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.

We instructed Stephen McArdle in the Commercial Litigation team to represent us in a contractual dispute. They dealt with the other side effectively and managed to recover compensation for us as a result of a breach of contract. Our experience of the commercial litigation team was excellent - they were very professional throughout and explained the legal position and advice clearly. We would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes solicitors.

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
Where do I start from being to end incompetent told witness statement wasn't inprotent by a teenager collage girl working there very little confidence in my barrister changing statements without in informing me ..on day off trial no evidence prosecution approach my barrister asking if id take a less charge...wow must think I was guilty of a crime..I'm 100% they are in bed with the prosecution STAY CLEAR OF THIS SOLICITORS IF YOU NOT WILL GO TO PRISON
