From the moment I was put into contact with Forbes I honestly can't fault their service. They were professional, supportive, and challenging (in the right way!) and kept me fully informed of my case from start to finish. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Forbes have gone above and beyond to help me with anything i have asked of them. From office staff to solicitors and barristers i cannot complain with their service. Also a great outcome with suspended sentence.

I spoke to Graeme Parkinson, an extremely knowledgeable and time served lawyer who guided me as to what the process would be. Graeme was extremely friendly, and kept me up to date throughout the process, including pre and post voluntary interview.
I honestly can’t recommend Graeme and all at Forbes enough. If anyone needs any form of representation, advice or guidance, I would suggest and recommend Forbes.

Graeme Parkinson was an amazing lawyer and always kept me informed throughout the process. He had a friendly approach which made the situation feel a lot less daunting whilst still being very professional and informative. Couldn’t be more grateful!

I phoned Forbes in Blackburn for some help with a horrible situation.

The office Manager was lovely and she found me a Solicitor.

The Solicitors who worked with me were Mr. Graeme Parkinson and Mr Bradley Hayes. Both definitely listened to me, whilst being straight, upfront and honest throughout the situation. They were mindful of the best outcome for my personal life needs.

I found all Forbes Staff over the phones and when I met them a pleasure to meet, very efficient, all their work was carried out to bring about the Best outcome.

I would definitely ask Forbes again and recommend them to friends and any body who needs the expert help of a Solicitor who really tries for you.
