Outstanding representation, highly recommended

5

Having been informed that an allegation was made against me, I contacted Forbes and asked to speak to someone.

I spoke to Graeme Parkinson, an extremely knowledgeable and time served lawyer who guided me as to what the process would be.

Graeme was extremely friendly, and kept me upto date throughout the process, including pre and post voluntary interview.

Once the powers that be confirmed there was no case to answer, Graeme informed me immediately.

I honestly can’t recommend Graeme and all at Forbes enough (a special mention to Karen W as well). If anyone needs any form of representation, advice or guidance, I would suggest and recommend Forbes.

Highly Recommended.

From the moment I was put into contact with Forbes I honestly can't fault their service. They were professional, supportive, and challenging (in the right way!) and kept me fully informed of my case from start to finish. I can't recommend them highly enough.

This firm has been nothing but lovely, informative, and honest about possible outcomes. We actually changed from another solicitors and I’d definitely use Forbes again (however hope we don’t need too)

Thanks so much
