Exceptional service

We choose Forbes to help us with a complicated PI claim. They have been compassionate, caring and professional throughout the whole process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We were initially offered £12,000 and thanks to Leonie we secured a 6 figure offer which will finance the right care that is needed due to someone else's negligence.

Loss claim

It was clear from the outset that Leonie was accomplished and experienced. That proved to be entirely accurate at every stage of the process.
Leonie was confident but never cocky and at each stage she had the uncanny, but most welcome, ability to second guess the response from the other party in advance.
This way of working and knowing every aspect of her job is something that cannot be underestimated and it inspires confidence.
It is rare to find someone with such dedication who knows exactly what to say and how to respond, whilst remaining absolutely calm and focused throughout.
There was never a moment of doubt with Leonie and our dealings with her were everything you would expect from an accomplished professional, but so much more.
Reviews sometimes can't tell the whole story, so I will not mince my words. In our experience you will not get a better solicitor than Leonie Millard and it has been a pleasure to deal with her and the people that work with her, such as Emily and Carole at all times.
It is nice to have dealt with someone who has restored your faith in humanity. Leonie is a true professional at the top of her game and I would not hesitate to recommended her to services. She is a class act.

Would Recommend!

This was my first purchase of a house. From talking with friends, I had somewhat of a negative view around the conveyancing side of purchasing. However, I was recommended Forbes by a friend who recently used their services.

Any prior negative view I had was quickly dampened when I came into contact with Forbes. The initial contact was straight forward and then I had been assigned to both Natalie and Jennifer to act on my behalf.

Both had always remained professional and approachable throughout the hole process. As I said, this was my first time and Jennifer had explained everything in “layman terms” to me which was helpful as legal context can sometimes be overwhelming.

Natalie was also helpful in responding to any queries I had and had made it clear that if I had any issues I could approach her. She had even stayed past her finish time to quickly explain the breakdown of payments when I had a query regarding this!

All in all, I would definitely recommend Forbes to any of my friends moving forward and would defiantly, without a doubt, approach them again should I require such services again!

Grateful

I was half way through a very difficult divorce when I found Forbes Solicitors.
I found my previous solicitor to be unsupportive and felt that she wasn’t interested in exploring my situation and was allowing the other party to dictate all the terms.
When I first spoke to Karen(Paralegal) about moving my case to Forbes I was immediately put at ease. I then had a meeting with Nicola(solicitor). She was very helpful and knowledgeable and I felt that at last I had someone willing to explore all possibilities.She made suggestions about information that I needed to gather to support my case as I am now a lone carer for my disabled son and would have been put in an impossible situation if as my previous solicitor had said the court would probably decide that all the assets would have to be split equally.
I ended up with a good result and will now be able to continue caring for my son without struggling.
Throughout the process Karen and Nicola were totally brilliant. Anne the secretary was also great!
They were always easy to contact and responded very quickly to my questions.
I felt totally supported and safe in their hands and will always be grateful for their support during the most difficult period in my life.

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.
