Child Arrangements Order-Family Law

What a pleasure it has been to work with Sarah Robson and her team, despite the challenging circumstances that come with family law and child arrangement orders. Very professional in advice and excellent service throughout. Listened to concerns and understood the complications due to deteriorating health. Felt supported throughout the process.

Excellent advice and support on family matter

I contacted Forbes Solicitors in early 2023 due to an urgent family matter and was put in contact with Sarah who represented me over the subsequent 6 month period.

Despite the matter being relatively complex/uncommon, Sarah's advice was always clear, provided in an efficient matter and displayed great legal knowledge. I was provided with excellent guidance and support throughout the process, from the initial application to the court through to appointing representation for the final court hearing, which resulted in the best result being achieved for myself and my family.

Efficient service with support throughout, would recommend!

Sheroze was efficient and on my side throughout our case, which was resolved swiftly. I could discuss issues with Sheroze across phone calls and emails with timely responses. His valued advice and communication with our client ensured I felt protected, as well as informed on my options. I felt heard and that there was care for my case. I'd thoroughly recommend Sheroze and Forbes and will be using them again.
