Lucy was great at assisting us with defending a contested Will. She understood our circumstances and gave us down to earth, understandable advice with a caring attitude. Over and above the service I would have expected and I would highly recommend.

It is never a good time when your nearest and dearest are sadly taken away. It can be one of the most somber moments in your life and if it was not for the help of Forbes and all there experience in many fields of Law and the help of my exceptionally special tight knit friends I would most probably not be writing this today. I was totally happy and relieved that Forbes had faith in my dispute and was so rapidly addressed and dealt with at a great price may I add the one letter from the most exceptional Lucy Armstrong to bring the 1st part of my claim is testament to the hours of study and the expertise of Forbes.I thank you wholeheartedly from the bottom of my heart.
