Driving without insurance

I am incredibly grateful to Forrest Williams for their exceptional support and representation in my case involving a charge of driving without insurance.
I had been asked by a previous employer to drive a work vehicle and was assured multiple times that I was insured to do so. Unfortunately, this turned out not to be the case, and I was later arrested and charged, an extremely stressful and confusing experience, especially as I believed I was fully covered.
After seeking advice from several law firms, Forrest Williams stood out for their professionalism, understanding, and prompt communication. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my situation and made me feel supported throughout.
A special thank you to Ian Morrell, who represented me in court. His calm, confident approach and thorough preparation made all the difference. Thanks to his efforts, the case was resolved successfully.
I highly recommend Forrest Williams to anyone facing a legal issue, particularly if you are feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart.

This was my first (and last) experience of having to appear at court. Helen Newman was from the very beginning professional, thorough and cordial. Both solicitor and barrister that represented me at the initial court case and subsequent appeal were fantastic - I couldn’t have asked for better. But finally Helen interactions with me were superb always for which I was and am grateful.

I recently received legal advice over the phone from Forrest Williams Legal Ltd, and I’m extremely grateful for their time and professionalism. Despite not charging me a penny, they answered all my questions clearly and offered helpful guidance during a stressful situation. It’s rare to come across a firm that genuinely cares and puts people first without immediately talking about fees. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking honest legal advice.

I can’t thank Mr Williams enough for the kind man he is.
The time advice given to me and I’m not even his client.
The compassion and understanding at all levels threw out me speaking with Mr Williams could not have been more of a pleasant experience.
We live in a day and age where time is valuable for that level of expertise and for the time to be given that generously is very touching.
I’d be sure to recommend anyone that requires your expertise not mentioning my self.
Many thanks great work

I can’t praise Forrest Williams enough. Every single member of the team is understanding, kind and helpful. I never felt like my questions were seen as trivial or unimportant, I also never felt rushed when I had a question.
Most importantly they empathise with your case and help you understand confusing legal jargon. They really do have your best interests as their core ethos!
They made sure I was comfortable before my case. Provided me with everything I could need and gave me an excellent service.
If anyone ever needs legal representation, I will always point them to Forrest Williams.
Thank you again for all your help.

We started Forrest Williams in 2009 because we wanted to be different. We took a positive decision not to be limited by the service Legal Aid allows, where the government decide how much work on a case and how much support is appropriate. We understand that every case and every client are different – some people are very able to cope and will be happy to trust their case to us with minimal involvement, while others will require a tremendous amount of support and involvement that Legal Aid simply cannot provide. We are a niche practice, we only deal in areas of law that we are passionate about and where we are able to offer an expert service. We have no desire to become a large, high volume practice. We want to be able to offer all of our clients a personal bespoke service. Our clients are different too, they are not repeat offenders or career criminals. Unlike other criminal practices we do not seek to attract those sort of clients. Our clients have normally never been in trouble before, they are unfamiliar with the legal process and do not want to instruct a large practice where they will just be another number. Our clients value the personal service, and hold us to high standards that we are proud to meet and exceed.
