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 was arrested in Cobb county on December 23rd and spent a total of 90 days incarcerated after writing Mr Forbes three letters, many text messages, had the circuit defender's office email him and talk to him one time in which he did not recall any of the conversation. I finally bailed out of jail whi...ch was my only option since he wouldn't visit me and I still have yet to speak to him. I then requested new representation which is now set me back even further so I would definitely not retain this attorney for any legal matter.

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.

paid Mr. Forbes a very large retainer. Was very responsive until he recieved my money after that the only way to reach him was by text or email. Will NOT call you back EVER. Do NOT trust him. He said he was negotiating with other atty and come to find out he NEVER had spoken to him. Will not res...pond to telephone calls. Never informed me of any changes with my case. DO NOT USE HIM
