Simon Gretton replied within 15 minutes of me sending the initial email at 9.05pm. I wasn't expecting a response until at least the following day. He asked numerous questions and advised me of the fees. He gave good advice on the run up to the court appearance and I felt well represented on the day.

Simon was very professional and handled everything for me. I was expecting a tougher outcome than what I ended up with. Very knowledgeable and straight talking. Helped ease my anxiety. Thank you.

I was extremely grateful and very satisfied with both the professional, friendly and courteous advice from Simon. He was very concise both in his advice and the manner he gave it to me and I would have no hesitation in recommending both Simon and the firm to anyone else.

I have had Simon represent me on two occasions and both times he has been excellent. He gave fantastic advice and his support to me and my family has been invaluable.

Words cannot explain the way I feel with the outcome of the case Simon dealt with. He was professional, confident, and so reassuring, and polite in his duties, he is a credit to Forbes, thankyou to all involved

Both Simon and Loretta helped me with my driving offence, I was expecting the worst case scenario and the outcome was probably one of the best I could have got. Loretta and Simon were very professional, helped me feel at ease throughout and did all the legwork for me and fought on my behalf to get me a great outcome.

I can’t thank them both enough and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal advice or help. Im very happy I chose forbes

Can I please just give a special thank you to Simon Gretton who represented my daughter yesterday in court. Simon was extremely professional yesterday in every way; he put all our minds at ease from the outset, explaining everything. Simon guided us through a terrible time and in all honesty, we couldn’t have done it without him. We would have no hesitation in using Forbes Solicitors again or recommending Forbes Solicitors to anyone.
