John C. Forbes Jr.

I had the worst experience with Mr. Forbes. I hired him for an uncontested divorce. My case was so easy. I walked away with nothing, just agreed on everything with my ex. Hardly any work was done. My ex did do something against the standing order and Mr. Forbes would not file a motion of contem...pt and I did get screwed on some stuff. He would not return my phone calls or texts to keep me informed. My divorce was finalized a week ago and he has yet to contact me on the status. I called the court house myself to find out. I do not recommend him at all!

I hired Mr. Forbes to represent me in a "family law" matter and I'm very pleased with the progress in this tiring case. Mr. Forbes has gone above and beyond to represent me effectively and has had my best interest in mind the entire time. He is very effective, very knowledgeable and keeps me i...nformed on all matters concerning the case. To be honest he has gone above and beyond to see that my case was handled timely, properly and with care taking into consideration it effects my children.

I was wrongly accused of having attacked my ex-husband and stabbing him. Mr. Forbes was the only person who believed in me. from the time he took my case until the time we had my trial, Mr. Forbes was constantly in touch with me and went so far as to give me his personal cell phone so that I could ...reach him anytime. When we finally went to trial, I was scared to death, but after a three day jury trial, it took the jury less than 1 hour to come back with a not guilty verdict. If it hadn't been for Mr. Forbes, I may still be in prison.

I hired Mr. Forbes with trust that he would actually help me in some way, in fact he was very destructive to my life. I was charged with disorderly conduct in six months ago and hired him to represent me. He advised me to plead not guilty and deny the plead negotiation the prosecuting attorney offer...ed me. Due to the nature of the case I was not allowed to return to my home until the case was completed or unless I accepted the plead negotiation. In June the offer was to accept 1 year of probation, 80 hours of community service, and the ability to return to my home immediately. I literally paid $1000.00 to postpone the case six months (denying me going home), only to go to court to be educated on the fact that because of my previous infractions with the law I was ineligible for the plead he was "trying" to accomplish for me. So I had to accept the plead wasting six months. I could have been home six months ago, been halfway through my probation sentence, completely done with my community service by now. He took $1000.00 from me to do this. What a crook. He should have known that I was ineligible for that plead, but instead we went all the way to the court date for the prosecutor to say I wasn't. What an awful person. Do not use this attorney unless you want to be shammed.
