Forbes Solicitors Reviews 

Forbes solicitors provided legal sevices for the sale of our commercial property.

The sale turned out to be quite complicated and Jo Higham and Stuart Shorthouse were brilliant.

They were very thorough and sorted all queries/problems effectively. They communicated regularly by email and by phone.

They were professional, efficient and friendly and we felt confident in their handling of the sale on our behalf.

Sharks avoid this company:- “Conditional Fee Agreement” 100%Success fee !! Had I have read the papers I would NOT have enlisted this company to act on my behalf, but due to suffering with mental health issues I did not read the papers. They have sent me bills of costing's amounting to £28,765.50, when I'll be lucky to get a fraction of this money from my late Mothers Estate because it is less than 100k. I'm now raising my complaint with the ombudsman to have them look at their conduct. Honestly I'm going to be lucky if I get anything from my late mothers estate, its outrageous that these firms can get away with what they are doing. They are clearly of the knowing that I suffer with mental health issues & this case is making me very ill with anxiety & they don't really care to hoots about my welfare, all they care about is their profits. This company has done in the region of several things on my case to move it forwards putting in unrealistic offers & their costing's are now at £28,765.50 pounds, since my previous costings email its gone up by £648.00 pounds & all I've received is 1 email stating there will be a case hearing in Feb 2021. My share of the estate if I was granted it, is less than 25k if I'm lucky. They are forcing my Sidling's to take less from the estate when we should all have an equal share. Forbes are going for an unrealistic offer to settle my claim with my siblings of all things, which is very sad on its own merits, But giving Forbes in the region of 18k & me walking away with 12k if you think this is reasonable, you need to think again. This company are sharks avoid them at every cost. Bristol branch TH OJ

Forbes solicitors clearly recruit the best professional individuals who are genuinely good at their legal career - this is very evident through the 1st class service that I have very recently received from Mr Craig MacKenzie.

I had been going through a turbulent time with a case that was going through court and along the way whenever I wasn't sure about certain aspects of the case or legal proceedings Mr MacKenzie was very quick to assist me with his knowledge and made sure I understood particular things that I was previously confused about. Mr MacKenzie did an outstanding job and he enabled me to have a fair hearing at trial, safe to say I got the verdict that I wanted which was all thanks to Craig for his professional and courteous service. Definitely 5* ++ and would have no hesitation in recommending this individual or Forbes to anyone.

Jo goes above and beyond, I would highly recommend using her services. cannot fault. She is exceptional.

Forbes were fantastic in dealing with our Sale and Purchase. The property market is crazy at the moment and all law firms are busy which caused the chain lower down in our sale to be so difficult and slow, but Forbes were continuously chasing and keeping us up to date without us having the chase them - they even called us well after 6pm to update us - which shows just how busy they are but would still take the time to contact us. I had 100% confidence in that we had instructed the right firm for our sale and purchase and would recommend. Kathryn is also so calm on the phone, which is what you need when we are panicking that things aren't going to happen. Thank you!!

Forbes have supported me during several commercial purchases and each time, their advice, delivery and updates is exceptional. Approachable team who respond quickly and manage the process without fuss. Working with Forbes just makes one less thing to worry about when dealing with a commercial transaction. Recommend the team @ Forbes every time!

Lisa Atkinson was very helpful answering my many queries/questions, explaining the process, insightful and all before taking on my claim. After taking on the case, writing pre-action letter as l had done a lot if leg work negotiate a settlement. I found 15% success fee more competitive than other firms though l would have preferred the full settlement amount without 15% deduction as it was settled out of court, nevertheless would use again & recommend Lisa & Forbes Solicitors

I have used Forbes Solicitors twice now and have received expert and professional advice. I have used them for Family Court and Criminal hearings and both teams were exceptional. They choose brilliant Barristers especially Richard English, thank you Nicola and your team.

Excellent, prompt and professional service.

I would definitely recommend Forbes. My case handler Lisa Atkinson dealt with my Data breach claim very professionally from start to finish. Keeping me updated all the way through the process. Responding to emails and calls very efficiently.

Ellen kept us well informed throughout the process. The sale of our property took much longer than we anticipated but we understand that this was due to others in the chain. Good value for money considering the professional work involved and the amount of seemingly daily chivvying along of other solicitors.
We have used Forbes before and would recommend.

Forbes helped me sort out my claim. They was friendly and very helpful, every thing was explained and sorted out with no problems. I would recommend them to anyone. My solicitor was Michelle Kemp and she was great .
