John Lambe successfully and professionally guided us through our probate dispute. From the first phone call he listened to our concerns and was kind, understanding and made us feel at ease. His advice was at all times honest, realistic and clear and we were impressed with how he could explain the legal terms and ensure that we understood the options available. He was always fair and had our interests at heart keeping the costs to a minimum. Ultimately, his profound knowledge, experience and eloquence helped us to achieve the desired positive outcome we were striving for. We highly recommend John. He is a brilliant and dedicated solicitor who genuinely cares for his clients.

Very slow pace of work, not aided by similar pace of work from buyers solicitors (will review separately). No chain, no mortgage (cash investor), no hold ups.... took 20 weeks to complete from when offer accepted.

After a number of hiccups Forbes proved to be the correct choice for us. We purchased our new home and as I say there were a couple of errors by them but they came through for us. In fact Forbes are handling the sale of our old property. They are kind and understanding.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 23 June, 2025:
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful review. We’re sorry to hear there were a few hiccups along the way, but we're really pleased we could ultimately deliver the outcome you needed and that you chose to continue working with us for the sale of your previous property.

I cannot recommend Leonie (and the whole Forbes team) highly enough. She supported me through a sensitive medical negligence case with unwavering professionalism, compassion, and expertise. Throughout the process Leonie was kind, approachable, and genuinely considerate of mine and my daughters situation. She took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and always made sure I felt heard and understood.
Throughout the process, Leonie was a strong and dedicated advocate for me. Her attention to detail, thoughtful guidance, and calm reassurance made an incredibly difficult time much more manageable. I always felt that my case was in safe, capable hands.
This has been an extremely difficult situation, but now I can start to move forward with my grief; and the closure I received from the outcome of my case has contributed to this. I am very grateful to Leonie and the whole team.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 18 June, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We are deeply grateful that you took the time to share your experience. It means a great deal to Leonie and the entire Forbes team to know that we were able to support you during such a profoundly difficult time.

I had a medical negligence claim, that was almost out of timeframe, but with their help, I got an extension, then handed the claim to them. The process has been very smooth and successful.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so pleased we could assist you in securing the extension and guide your claim to a smooth and successful outcome.

Sheroze handled our issue with great diligence, and was professional throughout what proved to be a very complicated dispute. He provided clear, concise advice throughout the whole process and advised us on the best course of action to take.
We are happy with the conclusion of our issue, and cannot speak highly enough of Sheroze. His calm, efficient approach inspired confidence and ensured we were always aware of our options.
We will definitely use his services again should we find ourselves in a similar situation.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 18 June, 2025:

To Leonie,
I would like to thank you for accepting my late husband’s medical negligence case and bringing it to a successful conclusion. Thank you for all your hard work and persistence throughout. You kept me informed, including me in important meetings and discussions and as a result, I always knew how the case was progressing. I would also like to thank Isabelle and Jacob for assisting me when documents needed sending or I was required to join meetings. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the case and I am so glad I chose Forbes Solicitors to help me. Thank you.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 18 June, 2025:
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. It was a privilege for Leonie, Isabelle, Jacob, and the entire team to support you through such a significant and sensitive matter.

20 weeks to complete on the sale of my property. No chain (on either side) and no mortgage (cash investor) to worry about. Very slow pace of work and often slow responses to enquires. Won't use again and wouldn't recommend for conveyancing

I’d like to sincerely thank Paolo Passerini from Forbes – what an absolute gentleman. Highly recommended.
I found myself in court for a minor driving offence that really shouldn’t have gone that far. I didn’t think I needed a solicitor, but when I tried to explain myself, I struggled to get my point across clearly.
By sheer luck, Mr. Passerini happened to be in the courtroom waiting for his next case. He could see I was having a hard time, and—completely unprompted—stood up and offered me free legal advice. The court was then adjourned so I could seek proper representation. Mr. Passerini took the time to review all the documents, gave me excellent guidance, and ended up standing beside me in court, pleading my case—all out of kindness and good will. He didn’t charge me a penny. He saw I was just an ordinary working person trying to navigate a tough situation.
I genuinely cannot recommend him enough. He’s a rare kind of professional—someone who fights for what’s right, not for financial gain, but because he cares about people. A true gentleman with a big heart.
Thank you again, Mr. Passerini. I hope one day I can repay the favour.
A representative from Forbes Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 18 June, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We're incredibly proud of Paolo and the compassion, professionalism, and integrity he brings to his work.
