Would highly recommend and would certainly use again if required

Samuel was extremely kind but also very clear on what the possible outcomes could be. I was kept informed at every step and the barristers provided at Court were excellent. It was a very stressful time however Samuel, the Barristers and the rest of the staff at Forbes were really supportive at every stage. I wasn't at any time given any false hopes etc just realistic probabilities which is exactly what you need. I owe Samuel and everyone involved a great deal of thanks.

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.

Highly commendable.

I recently engaged Forbes solicitors on a legal matter and had a Miss N Monaghan as my representative.. Legal matters inevitably bring about endless questions and concerns and in every instance my questions were answered assuringly and my concerns were met with patience , understanding and reassurances they were fully in hand. . I found Miss Monaghan to be meticulous in her work , most diligent and professional at all times while yet being empathetic, personable .and affable. If Miss Monaghan is the measure of the quality of service offered and expected with/from Forbes solicitors then I have no hesitation in highly recommending both Miss Monaghan and Forbes Solicitors. They both have my thanks and appreciation.

Excellent service and communication throughout

I had a great experience with Ashley. He made himself available for any queries I had and even made sure that I was taken care of even if he wasn't in the office. He was extremely thorough and made sure to explain the detail and any implications of decisions. I would highly recommend him and Forbes.

Gill has helped me with a number of matters over the years and I really couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is clear, professional and always provides honest, practical advice, while genuinely taking the time to understand your situation and what you need. I would highly recommend Gill and Forbes to anyone looking for legal support that is professional, approachable and easy to understand. You never feel like just another case, and it’s clear that the team genuinely cares about the people they’re supporting. A special thank you as well to Hollie and Christine, who have both been fantastic throughout. Gill and the whole team at Forbes are amazing!

I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Forbes Solicitors, particularly from Lucy and Imogen, who have been assisting me with a property sale dispute. Both have been extremely professional, friendly and approachable throughout. They have taken the time to listen to my concerns, explain matters clearly and keep me informed throughout the process. I have always felt that my situation was being handled with care and professionalism. It has been reassuring to have such supportive and knowledgeable people dealing with what has been a difficult and stressful matter. I really appreciate their help and the way they have handled my case so far. I would happily recommend Forbes Solicitors, and especially Lucy and Imojean, to anyone looking for professional, approachable and supportive legal assistance. Aggie

John Lambe acted for me in resolving a dispute with my late Father's estate. He took the time to understand the circumstances under which my Father signed the Will. At all times he was friendly, supportive and pragmatic. He has a vast knowledge of contentious probate, access to an exceptional Barrister, and together they were able to help me understand the complexities of the laws relating to my case. Navigating through such a difficult time was made much easier by having John in my corner. The right result was achieved and I would whole heartedly recommend Forbes to anyone in the position of having to contest a Will.

Disgrace of a firm, these solicitors where chosen to act on behalf of together housing association in regards to selling my share of my shared ownership property, essentially just the middle man from my buyers solicitors and my solicitor. Whole process took 5 months because response times where nothing short of a disgrace. Case handler Claire wouldn’t speak to me because I wasn’t the client even tho I was having to pay the final bill so surely I am the client? So after 5 months of very poor service they then had the cheek to send me a bill of £2775 and my buyer a bill of around £700!! For doing literally nothing! They were just the middle man!! I paid my other 2 solicitors just over that total amount combined who had to do all the usual conveyancing bits and pieces. I had to ask my solicitor to double check that Claire hadn’t fell onto a calculator and just thought “that’ll do” £2775!!? Wow When challenged on the amount the response was a snapshot of some small print in my shared ownership lease stating a charge of up to 1.5% or some croc and bull, so basically they charged that because they can. So thanks for robbing me blind and thanks again for a terrible service. Stay well clear of Forbes
