This was my first experience with Forbes Solicitors. Sarah was so kind and helpful and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Sarah talked me through every step and made it easy for me to understand. She also took the time to answer all of my questions. Fantastic customer service skills and I know if I ever need the help she is just a call away.

A friend recommended Forbes to assist in the sale of my dental practice. From the offset the team lead by Sarah were very helpful and patient and professional and extremely patient and persistent in working through the due diligence and property sale. Throughout they responded to my many questions and advised promptly on any issues. Sarah and her team were excellent and I recommend them to anyone selling a dental health care business.

Annabel was fabulous. I had a case with my school and she helped me to get a great deal. She took me through every part of the agreement, clearly explaining everything and answering all my questions. Thank you so much.

Highly professional and personable service

After being recommended to Forbes from a friend, Imogen was assigned to my case. From the very outset, Imogen quickly learned of the issue I was facing, in a very understanding and proactive manner. By doing so, was able to guide and support in the best w possible, in what were some quite tight timescales.
Imogen was clear, consise and professional in both approach and knowledge and ensured my interests were at the centre of the outcome. Imogen took away a great deal of pressure away from a stressful situation.
I can highly recommend Forbes, and in particular Imogen, should anybody require legal support in an employment law capacity.

This was my first experience of being made redundant but the care, assistance, responsiveness and overall first class service received by Fern Gordon is a real credit to your business. I wish Fern all the success within your business.

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.
