Professional, Meticulous & Compassionate

Adelle has been looking after my personal accident claim since February 2021 & I can honestly say that she has dealt with this matter thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned & bringing this case to a more-than-satisfactory conclusion without the need to go to court. She has gone above & beyond to achieve the damages deserved following my accident in a very caring manner.

I would not hesitate in recommending Adelle to handle your personal accident claim … she is meticulous in ensuring that the best outcome is attained whilst keeping you informed every step of the way.

Well done Adelle & thank you for everything 🙏

Review of magistrates' court case on 15th April 2024

Whilst the experience was not a pleasant one, I was extremely grateful and very satisfied with both the professional, friendly and courteous advice from Simon. He was very concise both in his advice and the manner he gave it to me and I would have no hesitation in recommending both Simon and the firm to anyone else.
In relation to question about value for money later in this review, I cannot comment as I have no knowledge in this field.

Highly professional and personable service

After being recommended to Forbes from a friend, Imogen was assigned to my case. From the very outset, Imogen quickly learned of the issue I was facing, in a very understanding and proactive manner. By doing so, was able to guide and support in the best w possible, in what were some quite tight timescales.
Imogen was clear, consise and professional in both approach and knowledge and ensured my interests were at the centre of the outcome. Imogen took away a great deal of pressure away from a stressful situation.
I can highly recommend Forbes, and in particular Imogen, should anybody require legal support in an employment law capacity.

Outstanding experience

5* experience all round.
Elle was extremely professional throughout. We were very fortunate to have Elle for our crown court case. She always explained everything really well, answered all our questions and advised with fantastic legal knowledge as it was all new to us. Communication throughout was exceptional, always contactable. Elle was kind, caring and gave us reassurance during a very stressful time for our family. We can’t recommend her enough always went above and beyond.
We got the outcome we wanted due to Elle’s outstanding work and dedication to our case. We will always be greatful. An absolute pleasure to work with. She is a credit to Forbes solicitors ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Javaid was very professional and easy to talk to throughout my court process. Javaid was able to talk me through the process so that I understand what would happen.

I am pleased with my court result it is exactly what Javaid said would happen. Due to Javaids help he was able to reduce my legal aid contributions. He managed to negotiate a plea quickly with the Prosecution, managed to get a quick sentence hearing, this all reduced the length of time my case would take and the financial cost by way of legal aid contributions.

I would highly recommend Javaid to anyone looking for a solicitor.

This was my first experience of being made redundant but the care, assistance, responsiveness and overall first class service received by Fern Gordon is a real credit to your business. I wish Fern all the success within your business.

Very poor at returning calls, I requested a call back, missed the call and received an answer phone message with a name and number to return the call. Impossible to get through and left 2 answer phone messages with no reply. I have chosen to give a 2 star review as they did originally try to make contact.
