Lisa Atkinson- compensation

I contacted Forbes solicitors after my sun recieved a burn to his chest while at nursery, due to my son's SEND needs i didn't remove him from the nursery as he only had a year left before starting school , Lisa talked me through the process of claiming compensation for him which he could then access once he's 18 years old. Throughout this process Lisa has kept me up to date with everything that has been going on and remained professional and understanding throughout, she even managed to claim more than we expected to receive in relation to my son's compensation which was a credit to her hard work and dedication. Thank you Lisa !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Leonie Millard is an outstanding solicitor who has dedicated her career to helping clients who gives her clients a voice when they might not have one themselves due to their disability. She is very responsive in responding to queries about my relatives case and replies to e-mails and phone-calls very quickly which is an excellent trait in a solicitor. She was very compassionate, caring, and committed to the outcome of my relatives case which was a very good outcome and secured justice for her. Leonie's service over the past four years has been absolutely perfect and she is supported by an excellent team of Carole Purdie (her secretary) who is on the ball and does her best to support client queries too. I would rate Forbes Solicitors 5/5 stars and I can't identify any recommendations on how they improve their services because they provided a consistent perfect service over the past four years!

Highly trained associates, legal assistants and support staff. Based on my experience, if you are considering legal advice I would highly recommend Forbes as they are responsive and upfront about costs and your options. I was dealt with me in a professional way and showed patience and understanding during my many enquiries. Many thanks for your excellent work on my behalf. I found solicitors to be very thorough, fair and transparent. I had the best possible solicitors to fight my cause. I felt that they went above and beyond to assist with getting the best outcome for me. On the whole, my experience from start to finish was excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future. Once again, thank you to Rosalind Leahy/ Robin Bower. Forbes Solicitors

London Magistrates 27th to 28th August

Let, me introduce myself,I am at 63 year old male with an wife of 25 years and an daughter of 18. We all reside in Barnsley South Yorkshire, please don’t hold that against us as I was supporting the Manchester side in the latest cricket final at Lords in the hundred and yes an older parent. Both myself and my family have never been in trouble with the police or any other authorities other than speeding tickets and parking. On 31/5/25 on an family trip to London to see an show and sightseeing at Leicester Square underground to Waterloo both myself and my family where involved in an incident with another family I won’t go into too much details regarding the incident only to say that 6 months and 3 days after just before Xmas we received via post an serious allegations from the other party with dates to attend London Magistrates Court. Panic really did set in, the upshot of it all was that no local criminal solicitors in my home town or any other solicitor surrounding area Leeds, Sheffield would even look at the case and basically was dismissive of myself and my family The British Transport Police was of the same opinion. I was introduced to David via an family friend in Blackburn,David practices for Forbes Solicitors at various officers at Preston Lancashire. David and his team contacted myself and my family through out December and the Xmas period even including New Years Eve Throughout the 9 months leading up to the trial both David and such an hard working Lady Sarah now just did what they do professionally they was always there on the end of the phone no matter what time of day or time. Even in myself and family darkest hours Both was there in some capacity. I cannot imagine the toil and hours,days that these special individuals put into to represent me There will never be enough Thanks from myself and my family to these persons and with such professionalism ,Danielle the final piece in the Jigsaw who handled the case in London This trio where second to none no doubt there was other individuals in the Forbes institution which all contributed to my case. My advice to anyone who reads this testimony, is that the recommendation of Forbes Solicitors should be a priority to anyone who as injustice situations. Please always tell the truth to these people and justice will prevail. Kindest Regards to anyone what reads this review Chris Andrea and Francesca

My recent experience

We found Forbes Solicitors very professional, who offered clear first class advice. We would definitely recommend them as they were very easy to deal with and understand. They have a wealth of knowledge on all matters and are great at communicating, especially with the designated Solicitor. We would definitely use them again.

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
