Michael P. Forbes

I called Michael Forbes' office a week ago Thursday and got a call back from him 10 minutes later in a rushed tone that he had no time to talk, just like another reviewer has mentioned. He was very positive toward my case in the brief time we talked, it is the type of case he has written about and w...as very passionate in saying I have been wronged. He said to have my evidence ready and that he would call me the next day, which would be Friday, or Monday at the latest to discuss everything further as he had deadlines to meet that day. I was excited thinking I would be able to hire somebody who really seemed like he cared and would help me fight this. Next Wednesday came with still no call back. 5 days later. I called him and left a nice message. Nothing. Thursday came. Nothing. Now it is a week later with no call back as promised. Instead of just simply telling you he can't take your case he leads you on and gives you hope. I don't understand what purpose this serves anybody or how professional this would be considered.

I quickly had to get legal counsel and luckily for me I found Micheal Forbes and Nancy . The Respect and guidance was outstanding at all times, prompt, timely and open for calls and quick updates, and worked through all of the questions and issues I was concerned with. I can't thank Micheal enough... and Nancy. I highway recommend a great knowledgeable attorney to my family and friends

I am a previous client of Michael Forbes and was just looking him up to contact him again because I am $15 grand into my current attorney and desperate to get some legal advice from the only attorney I can say that I trust, even though it is not in his area of practice. I happened to see these review...s and simply want to leave my experience and opinion of not only his handling of my case but on a personal level. I also realized I never left a review after my case was complete and he definitely earned one. I had contacted at least 50 attorneys to represent me and every single one hung up after I asked if they had any flexibility on the normally large retainer expected or alternative financial arrangements for payment. Most did not even listen to the outrageous events surrounding my case before hanging up. I called Michaels office and spoke with Nancy, she was so kind and listened to me and genuinely cared about what I was saying. Nancy was fantastic and made me feel like she had nothing to do but listen to me, she told me Michael was busy and would have him call me back. Which he did, and he was a bit more quick on the phone, slightly less interested in the emotional parts, that although, I felt the need to include he knew they had no impact either way legally speaking. My case was by no means something to build a legal career on , or even add to a list of accolades for that matter - it was actually a miniscule little case in the grand scheme of things but he agreed to help me. So the screening process a review suggests is not at all factual. He and I had numerous conversations over the 2 years he fought for me- ending with a resounding win- we butted heads sometimes over the phone because of his time constraints and slightly strong demeanor. With that said, I try to be very understanding of the other persons view. I have come to realize how much he taught me over the course of all them phone calls, when I learned to listen that is.....lol. The fact you got a call back from any lawyer in a ten minute time frame should have been an indication of the caliber person he is. He is all about business and is looking to maximize his available time in order to serve his clients. To fault a lawyer for them characteristics is a mistake, trust me! So when calls and emails were not returned in a timely fashion - I would follow up and if still not returned - I would follow up again. No matter the rate of call or email exchange that I may have wanted , The fact is he always called, emailed when it was most important. I learned something that is a still a core part of how I live to this day. Most times offense is taken and not given. If you want a lawyer that has the time to talk at your every whim - your not looking for a good lawyer. You want a no nonsense, no time wasted, effective lawyer- then look no further.
