Professional, honest and genuine

I used Forbes recently to help
Me with an ongoing issue with my previous employer. Andrew Halpin was quite frankly amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful and really cared about my
Situation. He went above and beyond. He understood what the issue was and engaged with my previous employer to resolve the issue quickly and made sure my career and reputation were not affected. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anybody who has an employment issue with an employer.

An outstanding service. Rebecca goes above and beyond.

Loosing my Dad was been incredibly difficult and Rebeccas expertise and support was really invaluable and helped me massively. She awful experience easier to deal with as she supported me with her skills and team of colleagues. Nothing was too much and she sought an answer to every issue that arose whilst dealing with my father's estate. Rebecca helped me be able to do right by my Dad's memory. I will be forever grateful and highly recommend her and the forbes solicitors.

Professional, efficient, personable and easy to deal with

Elizabeth Whitaker of Forbes Solicitors provided and managed a Will writing service for our family recently. She had been recommended as a first class professional to us, and she did not disappoint.

We were very happy with the level of communication and with the efficiency with which she handled our affairs. Very much recommended.

Rebecca has helped, supported and guided me on two separate matters that were ongoing in my life . Her expertise and knowledge to be able to steer me through both matters was exceptional. Rebecca was someone I also leaned on for emotional strength , her empathy in helping me and my family is something I will always remember and I will be eternally grateful for. Thank you Rebecca so much

Huge, huge thank you

Rebecca worked with my family and I for around a year during a very difficult period of our lives.

As my solicitor she done everything she could regarding the matter at hand and I feel I was treated extremely fairly. More fairly than I had imagined given the circumstances.

I had spoken to a couple of firms but what I wanted was a solicitor that was going to fight my corner, whilst obviously this is what solicitors are employed to do I felt that Rebecca really understood me on a personal level and genuinely wanted the best for me and my family.

I am forever thankful for the work Rebecca and her colleagues at Forbes done for my family.
