Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘Having worked with several local law firms I have always found Forbes offer the best service as they always put the client first. The partners and staff I have worked with are excellent. I have received positive feedback when recommending Jenny Burke and Victoria Motley. Their service is professional, attitude is always positive, and they always have time to listen to clients to ensure they are meeting all their needs.’

  • ‘The team at Forbes are highly knowledgeable and professional, providing reliable and appropriate advice and guidance. What makes Forbes unique is their friendly and approachable way of conducting business, alongside their exceptional knowledge and skills. This is something that isn't always provided by other firms, who can often feel cold and clinical in their approach to client relationships.’
