Thank you so much for all your understanding, patience and support in navigating what has been a really stressful situation. I always felt I wasn't fully in the know and I was wrong in my expectations around my case but Adrienne made me realise I was correct in my thoughts and she helped navigate what I needed.

From initial contact Shannon has been excellent.
Shannon was approachable, explained things in simple terms, often more than once and recommended a range of different solutions for us.
The service was prompt and efficient and the cost was exactly what she said it would be. I would absolutely recommend Shannon and Forbes to any family, friends or colleagues.

My partner and I used Forbes Solicitors to buy our first home, and we are so, so happy we did. We were hit with several unfortunate circumstances outside of our control throughout the process, and Stephen, Kathryn, and the rest of the Forbes team, dealt with every single one with extreme diligence, professionalism and care. We were constantly updated with the information we needed, and we were always met with empathetic and kind natures. We are truly grateful for their work, they really went above and beyond to get our house purchase over the line and to an extremely pressing deadline. We would absolutely recommend Forbes Solicitors, and Stephen and Kathryn in particular, to anyone wishing to purchase a property.

We're thrilled to hear that Stephen, Kathryn, and the rest of the Forbes team were able to support you throughout the challenges of your first home purchase .

Jacob helped is with this transaction and it had to be completed in a week. He came back to me extremely quickly on any queries and resolved any issues quickly. As a result we hit our deadline and the documentation was of a high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

This is the 3rd time of using Forbes and not let down again. Thank you to Kathryn for her support and hard work on behalf of our late parents house. Kathryn always responded efficiently to my calls, emails and information I sent. Took plenty of time with me and my brother when we visited the office during a very busy March, due to the end of stamp duty deadline. Kathryn, also really helped our buyers to prevent a high increase in stamp duty to make sure completion happened on 31st March 2025.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors Llp responded to this review on 02 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that Kathryn and the team at Forbes have consistently met your expectations, especially during such a busy time.

after my recent run in with the police i felt duty solicitor didnt really care too much about my case so i opted for forbes, in which ii was allocated Mr. Scully. all i can say is WOW this man really cares about his clients he kept in constant contact with me throughout my proceedings and even out of hours which he is not obligated to do but did anyway because he genuinely cares THAT much about his clients and their wellbeing. i was terrified i was going to go to prison and wouldnt see my son for a very long time. Mr Scully assured me throughout my case i was in safe hands and i really was! today i got to go home to my son and for that i will forever be grateful to Mr Scully. if i could give him a hundred star rating i would he really is one of the best out there at what he does!

Very disappointed. After an initial telephone conversation which went well, I felt confident and reassured enough to send a personal document to Forbes in order for them to ascertain if there was a possibility they could act for myself and my sister. A telephone conversation to discuss the matter was arranged the following day.
The person in question was unavailable to speak with when I rang the next day. After numerous attempts on my behalf by telephone and an email requesting to be contacted, I am still waiting.
Clearly the document I forwarded did not generate any future work for Forbes. The fact they failed to honour their word in discussing this with myself, as arranged, I find not only discourteous but also unprofessional.
I will not be recommending Forbes.

Not impressed with these. They charge for even a telephone conversation. Heard very little on updates on my dad's will and I'm the executive. If you want a expensive solicitor and get ripped off go with these. I've had more free advice from Farley and there not even dealing with it at no cost.
