Excellent service.

Javaid Sabrine represented my Son during a very difficult situation my Son found himself in. Javaid was knowledgeable and his experience and the way he communicated with us gave us such reassurance. He would take time to explain processes and procedures we've never found ourselves in before, nothing was too much trouble. Javaid's support and advice went a very long way to ensuring the best outcome.
Our family is extremely grateful for his honest and straight talking approach.
Certainly recommend him if anyone finds themselves needing an excellent Solicitor.

Outstanding experience

5* experience all round.
Elle was extremely professional throughout. We were very fortunate to have Elle for our crown court case. She always explained everything really well, answered all our questions and advised with fantastic legal knowledge as it was all new to us. Communication throughout was exceptional, always contactable. Elle was kind, caring and gave us reassurance during a very stressful time for our family. We can’t recommend her enough always went above and beyond.
We got the outcome we wanted due to Elle’s outstanding work and dedication to our case. We will always be greatful. An absolute pleasure to work with. She is a credit to Forbes solicitors ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
