Outstanding representation, highly recommended

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.

Used Forbes Solicitors for my family law case. My solicitor was Tara and I also had the pleasure to work with Chloe. Tara and Chloe were very supportive throughout and actually care. They are friendly, professional and represented me brilliantly. They are Still supportive even after. Always was able to talk to my solicitor any time needed and everything was done very efficiently. Highly recommend and great firm to be represented by. Would definitely use again.

Support and representation

I only wish I had received your representation when I was in court in January 2022. I can say with confidence the outcome would not have been so completely devastating. That is how much faith and reassurance I've felt by your recent support and representation. Many Thanks for you professionalism and diligence.
