Exceptional Company and wonderful service!
When I realised I was in danger of losing my licence I was very anxious.
Looked online for a solicitors and Forrest Williams Ltd came up. From the second Lucy answered the call and proceeded to offer advice and support I knew this firm was the right fit for me.
Even before I instructed them, Lucy was replying to my emails and offering me an immense amount of support.
I was really nervous for the hearing however I had a strong case for extreme hardship. Lucy guided me on the statements required so I felt happier as I was fully prepared.
I managed to keep my licence which is a huge relief.
I cannot thank Lucy and Steven enough.

Excellent service and support
Helen and Steve provided excellent support and advice. They persevered through a clearly broken court system and achieved a positive result.

I would recommend them.
Forrest Williams supported me with challenging a personal matter which ultimately lead to a successful outcome. I found Helen Newman impressive when I spoke to her which lead me to choose the firm. I was pleased with lawyers Steve Williams & Nick Devine who represented me, and did a good job. The Paralegal Tom Brett was my lifeline throughout the case, he passionately kept me up to date and worked to resolve every query I had. When I was unhappy with something in particular, he listened and really went the extra mile to resolve my issue, which gave me the confidence that I was in safe hands with him and FW. What I appreciated about working with FW is that because I had a fixed price deal I didn’t have to worry about calling or emailing them and being charged for every little thing. We agreed a price, I paid it, and I got what I paid for. They always responded to emails, they always called back, they were as helpful as they could be and they challenged my thinking and my concerns when they needed to.
I also appreciated that they spread payments out rather than asking for everything up front, and they asked me if I was Ok with their payment proposals throughout. I felt in safe hands, and although I hope I don’t have to ever need to work with them again, I would recommend their services.
