Kitty was an amazing solicitor to my boyfriend! She was always there and answered any questions we had at anytime. I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor for him than her!! She definitely is amazing at her job and very professional. She was also a very friendly solicitor so no matter what we felt comfortable being around her. I would 100% recommend kitty to anyone that needs a solicitor!

Thanks alot

I would highly recommend this solicitors’ firm. Throughout a very stressful time, they provided excellent support, clear advice, and reassurance when I was feeling pessimistic and uncertain. Their professionalism and calm approach gave me confidence, and they also referred us to a very suitable and highly regarded barrister who was a great fit for our needs. I am extremely grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal support.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, the service I received was professional, efficient, and reassuring. A special thank you to Simon and Ian, who were both knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to take the time to explain everything clearly throughout the process. What really stood out was the level of communication and attention to detail. Every query was dealt with promptly, and I always felt informed and supported. It’s clear that Forbes Solicitors have built an excellent team, as every member of staff I dealt with was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their clients. If you’re looking for experienced solicitors, legal advice, conveyancing services, dispute resolution, employment law support, personal injury claims, family law assistance, or general legal services, I would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Solicitors. Their professionalism, expertise, and client-focused approach make them one of the best law firms I have dealt with. Thank you again to Simon, Ian, and the entire Forbes team for your outstanding service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My company had some problems getting paid off of a client for some subcontracting works done at Christmas time. I spoke with Michael Swan at Forbes on the phone and after a small fee he had written up the legal document to ensure the client paid within a set time frame… the letter never even made the mail box. 4 and a half hours later they had settled the invoice in full on the same day after nearly 4 months of myself requesting payment. 100% recommend if you are having problems with payments then Michael is the man to speak too. What an amazing results after being owed thousands for nearly 4 months.

Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We’re delighted Michael was able to help resolve the matter so quickly and achieve a positive outcome for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Forbes Solicitors, and we wish you and your business all the very best moving forward.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Simon Gretton, a partner in the crime department, who oversaw my case from the outset. Even though the situation was incredibly difficult and, realistically, the prospects were limited, Simon approached everything with professionalism, honesty, and a calm, steady confidence that I found hugely reassuring. Throughout the process, Simon was clear, direct, and transparent about what I could expect, while still doing everything possible to steer the case toward the best achievable outcome. His experience was evident in the way he assessed the situation, guided me through each stage, and ensured every detail was carefully considered. What made an especially meaningful difference was the way Simon used his dry, well timed humour to lift my spirits during some very dark and stressful moments. Those moments of lightness helped me stay grounded and reminded me I wasn’t going through it alone — something I genuinely appreciated more than I can express. After months of uncertainty, having someone with Simon’s expertise, candour, and human touch managing my case made a significant difference. I felt listened to, supported, and properly represented at every stage. I am truly grateful for his time, commitment, and guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon Gretton to anyone in need of experienced, straightforward, and highly capable legal representation.
