We see things differently

Forrest Williams > About Us

About Us

Forrest Williams are a multi-award winning nationwide firm of solicitors.  We represent clients throughout England and Wales from our bases in the Midlands and London.

Recommended in the prestigious Legal 500 guide to the top UK law firms, we have also won national awards for client care.

 

As a result of this we are confident we will provide the best client care in the country.

 

Why we’re different

We started Forrest Williams in 2009 because we wanted to be different. We took a positive decision not to be limited by the service Legal Aid allows, where the government decide how much work on a case and how much support is appropriate.  We understand that every case and every client are different – some people are very able to cope and will be happy to trust their case to us with minimal involvement, while others will require a tremendous amount of support and involvement that Legal Aid simply cannot provide.  We are a niche practice, we only deal in areas of law that we are passionate about and where we are able to offer an expert service. We have no desire to become a large, high volume practice. We want to be able to offer all of our clients a personal bespoke service.

 

Our clients are different too, they are not repeat offenders or career criminals. Unlike other criminal practices we do not seek to attract those sort of clients. Our clients have normally never been in trouble before, they are unfamiliar with the legal process and do not want to instruct a large practice where they will just be another number. Our clients value the personal service, and hold us to high standards that we are proud to meet and exceed.

Excellent – all your staff have been superb and demonstrate a very caring and empathetic side to a profession not associated with kindness. Never had to deal with court/ lawyers before and you all made it less stressful.

The customer service was excellent – I spoke to Katie, my caseworker, and Steve who always put my mind at ease by being supportive and having time to answer my worries. I always felt I could pick up my phone If I had to or needed to.
