Very Reliable and Effective

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
