Elizabeth Forrest

Solicitor - Associate Solicitor

SRA ID: 15288

I began my legal career as a trainee solicitor in 1993 in a Barnard Castle practice, having obtained my law degree from Newcastle University. In 1995, I transferred to an office in Sedgefield, County Durham, where I practiced for over 27 years, becoming a Partner in 2002 and building a reputation as a general practitioner, and progressing to Head of Conveyancing. I have many years of experience in probate work and preparing Wills as well as residential conveyancing. Buying and selling a home can be stressful and confusing. I guide clients through the process, managing their expectations and providing support and advice throughout. I offer a friendly and personal service to all my clients. I believe in seeing clients for face-to-face appointments whenever possible, but I am also happy to consult with clients by telephone or Zoom if that is more convenient to them. Throughout my career I have had numerous clients who have asked me to advise and assist them time and time again, and many of them have gone on to refer their friends and family to me. In 2022, I returned to practice in Barnard Castle, with McGarry & Co, as an Associate Solicitor, where I aim to provide a welcoming, friendly, professional, and efficient service.
