Going back to july 2023 last year when i first contacted Oliver Pinnack-Cook regarding my totting up of speeding fine points. He was consistance with our communication all the way through and always stressed it was not only him working on the case and that he had a team behind him also, we exchanged so mant emails and telephone calls. He even vetted my four references for the court and he alway stressed that this was not going to be easy. On the day of the court hearing I met Steve ''the magician" who representing me in court. Put me at ease and went through the proceedure with me, also telling me we had a 50/50 chance of success. His court manner and timing was unbelievable. I was given another chance to drive without a 6 month ban - Thankyou to everbody

My legal counsel in court contacted me the night before, ran through my case and informed of the process.
He was thorough and reassuring as I had never experienced a court process before.

Wow! What can I say, Steve Williams was incredible in court, he defended us through 2 hearings and got the result we wanted! Steve never doubted me or my family's account and listened and understood every bit of detail and delivered that superbly in court! A special mention too Efua and Helen for there case management and preparing the case! This is the second time i have used Forrest Williams, they have never failed to deliver, they have got me the results we needed to move on with our lives, look no further than Forrest Williams for all legal needs, they wont disappoint!

To say Forrest Williams changed our lives would be an understatement. From the very beginning of our 3 year relationship with them, every member of the team continuously exceeded all our expectations.
Their barristers perfectly model the fantastic ethics of the company. Through Katie and Forrest Williams, we had one of the best barristers in the country represent us. Her morals matched ours (and Forrest Williams’) perfectly, which no doubt led to the positive outcomes of our case.
Every member of the team has kindness and empathy in abundance and it is clear they have been hand-picked for their fit within the business. Their sensitive approach is wonderfully complemented by their vast knowledge of the legal sector, and their quick thinking and action were invaluable in our case.
During the worst time in our lives, Katie in particular was there on all levels, backing us, fighting for us and providing support at all hours. I have no doubt we will remain friends forever.
There really are not enough words to describe Forrest Williams’ values, nor the way they repeatedly went above and beyond for us in all manner of ways.
If we were ever in need of legal support or representation in the future, we would not dream of using anyone other than Forrest Williams (even though they are a three hour drive away from us!) and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Forest williams have been outstanding throughout these past 5 months, whilst being under investigation and on continuous police bail, there communication throughout the whole process has been brilliant, I can not fault them at all, if it wasn't for Helen and her team I'm not sure I would have got the outcome I wanted, if I ever found myself in trouble again I would not hesitate to use them again, I would highly recommend forest williams, reasonably priced and brilliant service, thank you again.

We started Forrest Williams in 2009 because we wanted to be different. We took a positive decision not to be limited by the service Legal Aid allows, where the government decide how much work on a case and how much support is appropriate. We understand that every case and every client are different – some people are very able to cope and will be happy to trust their case to us with minimal involvement, while others will require a tremendous amount of support and involvement that Legal Aid simply cannot provide. We are a niche practice, we only deal in areas of law that we are passionate about and where we are able to offer an expert service. We have no desire to become a large, high volume practice. We want to be able to offer all of our clients a personal bespoke service. Our clients are different too, they are not repeat offenders or career criminals. Unlike other criminal practices we do not seek to attract those sort of clients. Our clients have normally never been in trouble before, they are unfamiliar with the legal process and do not want to instruct a large practice where they will just be another number. Our clients value the personal service, and hold us to high standards that we are proud to meet and exceed.
