My experience of working with FORBES has been very satisfactory. From my first day to my last they have been exemplary. my case lasted for over three years, but I never felt let down or disillusioned with my legal team. They achieved the correct result for me. I can only offer nothing but praise for them, thank you.

Although my case was of a sensitive nature the help of my solicitor was invaluable. She guided me through all the steps involved and was always available for any questions I had. Her experience throughout helped me enormously and I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor and firm to represent me

Had cause to require legal help recently and both my husband and myself cannot sing the praises of two individuals, Nichola Mctear and Kitty Shaw, highly enough. Both were very professional and supportive throughout.Can’t thank them enough. We would highly recommend this firm to everyone. Chris and Sue Hartley.
