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.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
