My experience

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mohammad C, and I couldn't be more satisfied. From the very first consultation, they showcased a deep understanding of the law and my unique situation. Their professionalism was evident as they patiently answered all my questions, ensuring I felt confident throughout the process. Communication was another strong point, their dedication and expertise led to a successful outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable legal assistance.
Thank you for your excellent support!

Probate Sale


Victoria saw me without an appointment when I called in to their Preston office when I was worried that I may have made a mistake whilst filling out a probate form. She was really reassuring and immediately put my mind at rest. Victoria along with Forbes conveyancing team then proceeded to help me with the legal side of the probate sale of my mother’s house. Victoria was very patient and helpful with all the questions that I had about the process.
I would highly recommend Forbes and would personally like to thank Victoria for all her help and advice that she gave me over the past few months

I recently worked with Mr Mohammed on my Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) process, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain each step clearly and ensuring that everything was handled efficiently. The entire process was completed in a timely manner, demonstrating his professionalism and dedication. I felt supported throughout, and the communication was excellent. I would certainly recommend Mr Mohammed to anyone needing legal assistance

Excellent commercial solicitor

Sam has worked on two cases for me: one related to a personal contract issue and the other for my business. He was quick to respond, gathered the necessary information efficiently, and was both friendly and well-organised. Both matters are now resolved, and Sam understood our need to minimise litigation costs in each case. While I hope I won't need his services again, I won't hesitate to appoint him if I do.

We required a prompt response regarding an employment contract for a new employee. We had no prior knowledge of UK legislation in this area. Forbes Solicitors provided us with professional and swift advice.

Company Share Buyback

What a wonderful professional my solicitor, Zulaika Mehmood is. Responsive, professional, polite and a great sense of humour! Nothing was too much trouble. Zulaika was cool under pressure & kept me informed and updated throughout the process.
The outstanding attribute is Zulaika's attention to detail, backed by her expertise - perfect and very much appreciated.
I also worked with Nick Dawson & Harry Hazelwood who were as equally professional, responsive, polite and made the whole process move seamlessly.
Nick's reassuring, calm, detailed advice & explanations put an end to any worries I had.
The before & aftercare was second to none.
Three professionals who are a credit to themselves & 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.
