Lisa was great

This review is for a different branch.

I had an accident back in December 2023 due to an hole in a drain and we found the incredible Lisa Atkinson to take on obtaining settlement and fixing the problem so it didn’t happen to anyone else. We have just now agreed settlement after a year of back and forth with the persons liable so it’s been a long process! But Lisa remained really dedicated, kept momentum going and always made sure to communicate any updates on my case. I’m so grateful to her for resolving this for me as it hasn’t been a straightforward one!

Natalie recently assisted me in the sale of my home, she went above and beyond from start to finish. Very professional and ensuring the sale was completed on time, gave me regular updates and was only a phone call away for any enquires. Amazing service.

Great Communication and advice: tenacious and determined

This review is for a different branch.

My family and I instructed Tom Howcroft and Forbes Solictors to help us retrieve the value of a property. The case involved probate law, and the possiblity of constructive and/or resulting trusts.
My family were up against a very dishonourble party, who used every underhand trick in the book to prolong the case.
Forbes at all times acted with dignity, with a full understanding of the law, with a focus on the outcome, and adapted to any of the opposing party's latest deflections.
The outcome was successful; and my family were pleased. It was a difficult case.

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.

Probate Sale of Father's House

This review is for a different branch.

Natalie was very easy to deal with and kept me up to date throughout the procedure and took the time to explain different aspects as we moved along, and also if I had a query. The whole process moved along as quickly as possible allowing for local searches etc to come back. I felt that the whole matter was dealt with very professionally.

Very disappointed. After an initial telephone conversation which went well, I felt confident and reassured enough to send a personal document to Forbes in order for them to ascertain if there was a possibility they could act for myself and my sister. A telephone conversation to discuss the matter was arranged the following day.

The person in question was unavailable to speak with when I rang the next day. After numerous attempts on my behalf by telephone and an email requesting to be contacted, I am still waiting.

Clearly the document I forwarded did not generate any future work for Forbes. The fact they failed to honour their word in discussing this with myself, as arranged, I find not only discourteous but also unprofessional.

I will not be recommending Forbes.

Very poor at returning calls, I requested a call back, missed the call and received an answer phone message with a name and number to return the call. Impossible to get through and left 2 answer phone messages with no reply. I have chosen to give a 2 star review as they did originally try to make contact.
