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!

Two, yes two years ago I gave John Forbes $1400.00 to help with me getting visitation with my granddaughter in GA. At first he was attentive with phone calls only or text. Seven months latter, still no court date or phone calls I contact him and ask what can I do to expedite my case and I asked if h...e needed more money. I live in FL so he gave me his account number and I went down and deposited $500.00 more into his account. Since then I was told I had a court case, took time off from work, driving to Atlanta for my court date he text me and said that it was postponed and he would advise me when it was rescheduled. That call never happened, I told him this was ridiculous and I wanted my money back. Imagine my surprise when he refunded me $300.00, for what! I spoke with my family and they said to ask him to continue with the case due to him being familiar with the case and keeping the $1100.00 for whatever little thing he did. Then came covid.... He text me once to say he had covid and would get with me once he was over it. That was October 2020. I text him (he didn't answer his phone) on 11/23/2020 I text him that I was trying to be patient but was getting hard to do, no response. I text him again (still not answering phone)Feb 8, 2021 Asking if this was hi normal business practice, still no response. I text him again 3/15/2021 still no response. On March 17,2021 I text him one last time. At no point did I get any response from him, I even checked obituaries to make sure he did not succumb to covid and nope he did not. Still to this day 5/3/2021 I have yet to hear from him, I basically flushed 1900.00 down the drain for something as simple as getting to see my granddaughter who lives with her other grandparents. Since then I have on my own addressed the other grandparents, we pick my granddaughter up and go off for a few hours with no help from John Forbes. He talks a good game but a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I went through a long contested divorce regarding the custody of my son. The divorce issues lasted almost 5 and 1/2 years in Cherokee County. Through Attorney John Forbes representation, the outcome was positive in my favor after the many years of legal litigation. We had to go back to court immedia...tely after the final divorce. Mr. Forbes was quick and effective in acquiring effective resolution to hidden assests issue that arised. When you are fighting for the best interest of your child, you have to have a strong counsel that will listen and stand by your family. I highly recommend Attorney John Forbes for your family law issues.

Three years ago, over the course of eight months, I managed to accrue three DUI arrests and a felony drug possession charge across two counties. I was facing up to fifteen years in prison. Recommended to me by a good friend, John deftly charted my course through three different courts, and secured ...an outcome which allowed me to avoid jail and restore my driving privileges within four months of my cases being adjudicated. I've recommended John to friends in family and criminal matters, and I will always be grateful he was recommended to me.
