Totting up ban

I had a great experience with these solicitors. They were really supportive and helpful all the way through the process, explaining what evidence I needed to provide, what kind of things it’s important to highlight, and what to expect on the day. I received a positive outcome and was able to keep my license.

Speeding fine appeal

Forest Williams were extremely professional and helpful, they were always super quick responding to any queries we had. Lucy was such a huge support to us from day 1 right through the whole process, we cannot thank her enough.

unbelievable result

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

I didn't get the result I ideally wanted but that shouldn't take away from the first class efforts of the team at Forrest Williams. By the strict interpretation of the law I guess we had a fairly weak case for hardship really. Harriet did her best for me in court and represented me well - it was just one of those things. Aaliyah Cadette was my primary contact leading up to the actual court date and organised everything pre and post hearing. Aaliyah was a great support throughout though and I thank her for everything - her attention to details when we spoke, her organisation and communication, and follow have all been great and much appreciated.

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!

Oliver and Steve both helped me massively with my case and made it possible to keep my license with a very small fine. They were helpful throughout the whole process and made me feel less anxious and more comfortable with every step. They were less expensive than other solicitors too. I would highly reccomend them.

Professionalism and kindness combined

A great team! My caseworker went above and beyond. I'm so used to legal firms being so cold and distant. Stella was perfect, offering emotional support where she could alongside legal advice. Thanks Stella and team.

Driving offences

Life Savers

I was placed in a difficult situation when I was pulled over by the police for doing 79mph in a 40mph zone. As my job requires driving, my employment was at risk due to a potential ban looming over me. I happen to stumble across Forrest Williams when comparing a wide range of solicitors and I am very happy I went ahead with them. For the price you pay you certainly get first class service. Firstly, Stella Bates who helped me from my initial enquiry to the end of my case was superb. She was super responsive and helpful whenever I had any queries, absolutely amazing at her job. Secondly, my selected barrister Margaret Anucha was equally as superb, her professionalism and work ethic on the day despite being extremely busy with other clients was beyond excellent. My outcome was simply 6 points and a fine, which is way beyond what I was expecting considering my speed. I would highly recommend Forrest Williams and if possible using specifically Margaret and Stella if you have a similar case to mine.

My review of forest Williams

Extremely happy with forest Williams. They helped me through a turbulent part of my life and kept me safe and supported. I’m not sure what I would have done without them all backing me.

Stella Bates at Forrest Williams was simply Amazing!

My first point of contact was with Stella Bates and she was monumentally professional from day one. She handled my case exceptionally well and kept checking in with me to ensure I was okay and The reassurance that she was there if I needed further assistance. It was really refreshing to have her handle my case and made me feel at ease knowing that she had me in mind although I would suspect they had other clients to assist. I had no issues whatsoever so ever and I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and the company.

I would fully recommend this solicitor if you have an issue. In the past I have contacted solicitors when I have needed advice and generally they do not really help you whether you pay or the advice is free,however if you call these solicitors you will find someone that is helpful straightforward and really does try to help. Many thanks to Steve and if I or anyone else I know needs assistance in the future I will definitely send them to you. Kind regards k

Thank you for taking the time to send a review, we are always happy to give free initial advice.

From the very first phone call to the last, this company is 100% understanding, respectful, loyal and great communication. I would like to thank Oliver for securing the outcome that we needed and Natalie (barrister) for going above and beyond. Yes these may be a bit more pricey but you get quality. Would not hesitate to use again and would recommend 100%. Thank-you Forrest Williams!!
