I was contacted by Mohammad to help me with my visa application. Right from the start, he was incredibly polite, always available to help me with my concerns, provided clear instructions, and offered great support.
Couldn't have a better experience.

What A Journey

This review is for a different branch.

I was in big trouble to say the least I was worried sick with the situation and journey that no one person wants to be on but if you are reading this then may-be your in a bad position in your life. Forbes Solicitors looked after me, but I was looked after by Elle Brinkworth she was amazing she works so hard you feel so sorry for her but she is amazing she is so relaxed and sorts your journey out in her own way, the legal world is very odd they take things on at last minutes but that's the way they work. Elle got me a Barrister (Ben) that was so straight forward and clear. I don't know how to thank Forbes but mainly Elle Brinkworth a big massive thank you for all you did for me. This company at the end of the day does not mess about they have the People at hand and a Team to back you. I was in Big trouble but they kept me free, so impressed. No hard feeling I hope I never have to see them again but Top Firm that's a fact and if you are lucky to have Elle running your journey then you are on a Grand Start. Many Thanks. Mark T

Not impressed with these. They charge for even a telephone conversation. Heard very little on updates on my dad's will and I'm the executive. If you want a expensive solicitor and get ripped off go with these. I've had more free advice from Farley and there not even dealing with it at no cost.
