Medical Negligence

Leonie has been amazing from the very start of our journey. Her knowledge and expertise is second to none and it has been informative and a great pleasure to deal with her.
I would like to personally thank Leonie for the great work she did on the medical negligence claim on behalf of my father. It has been a traumatic and long process, due to resistance from the defendant, but Leonie was there every step of the way, fighting our corner. She always answers any questions and responds to all emails and telephone calls promptly. I was kept up to date with any developments throughout the process and she listened to all my moans and groans with a sympathetic and understanding ear, providing reassurance in what sometimes felt like a futile battle. Following an initial offer from the defendant, Leonie managed to secure over three times the amount of compensation. I can't thank you enough for getting the justice my dad deserved. I would recommend Leonie Millard to anyone who requires a lawyer that isn't just in it for the money, but has a huge passion for justice. A HUGE thank you Leonie!!

Fantastic!!!! Really helpful!!!! 10/10

Natalie Rossall was really professional, helpful and attentive throughout the process, any time I had a concern she gave me advice and talked me through each step of the way. She was really friendly and approachable, she really took the stress out of selling and buying a house.
Natalie and Jennifer worked hard to complete on a date that was suitable for all parties, it really was seamless and I can’t thank them both enough! Thank you ladies I really appreciate all your hard work and efforts your the best!

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.

The whole process was incredibly smooth from start to finish. Everything was explained accurately and in full at the onset, and that is exactly how the transfer panned out. Natalie kept us in the loop at every available opportunity and made it easy for us to understand what we had to do, and what was going on behind the scenes.

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.
