“Choosing Steve Forbes as my family law attorney is one of the best decisions I have made. Before choosing Steve, I had suffered through years of expensive and disappointing litigation. When I turned to Steve, everything changed instantly. For the first time, I have had successful results in court. Just as importantly, I finally have an attorney who cares about me and puts forth his best efforts to help me. I also have a sense of peace because I know I have somebody on my side who is extremely talented and hard working, and who truly gives my case the attention it deserves. Steve is not only intelligent and skilled, he is compassionate and understanding. He is undoubtedly one of the best attorneys in the profession.”

“I retained Steven J. Forbes, Esq. and his office to represent me in my family law court case. Mr. Forbes and his office treated me with dignity, professionalism and honesty. Both himself and his office never rushed me off the phone, took the time to answer my questions no matter how “small” and if he was not available, would always return my phone calls. Mr. Forbes made me feel like my case was the only one he was handling (although I am sure, he was extremely busy). Mr. Forbes and his staff understood the heightened emotions that go along with these type of cases and reassure you that they will handle the situation and put your mind at ease. Mr. Forbes always had myself and my children’s best interests when representing me and as such, the outcome of my case was quite positive.”

“Steven Forbes is an amazing attorney. He is dedicated to winning your case and being a strong advocate. We had an unfortunate family situation that required special legal intervention. Our initial attorney filed our petition but failed to represent us at the first court hearing, forcing us to represent ourselves. Another attorney recommended two attorneys following our initial hearing. One of the attorneys was not interested in the case after hearing the complexity and unique circumstances. However, Mr. Forbes immediately impressed us with a clear understanding on how to proceed with our case. He clearly understood the obstacles we were facing as well as the specific case law that set precedence for what we were asking for the court.
Over the past year and a half, Mr. Forbes has always been reasonably accessible and available to answer our questions, big or small. He explained his approach but also considered our opinions on how to proceed with the case. We have been extremely satisfied with Mr. Forbes representation and highly recommend him. ”

“Attorney Steven Forbes was assigned to represent my two young children during a custody dispute. As a mother, it is difficult to know that your children’s future could be impacted by a stranger. However those fears were quickly allayed. Mr. Forbes has proven to be fair and conscientious. And above all – whether or not I agreed at the time – I have come to see that he has always taken my children’s best interests into account. Mr. Forbes has gone above and beyond his ‘job’ with regards to representing my children. They have grown to trust him and have specifically asked to speak with him during stressful times. Custody issues are never easy for children or parents. However, I too have found a voice of reason when speaking with Mr. Forbes. I am grateful that the court has assigned my children to a third party who looks to take the high road and encourages others to do the same.”

“Being newly separated and feeling vulnerable, Mr. Forbes instinctively made me feel very comfortable. Being a parent himself, he, too, had the same concerns as I did regarding the best interest for my child. He informs you as to what exactly needs to be done in order to get the outcome you desire.
Mr. Forbes is an extremely insightful attorney who strives to get you exactly what you want. His knowledge of the court system is immense and his honesty is comforting. I would recommend no other attorney!”

“My experience in dealing with Steven Forbes has always been positive. Mr. Forbes was appointed as Law Guardian representing my son for well over a year. I always felt a sense of peace knowing that he truly cared and had my son’s best interest, taking the extra steps if needed in upholding the law in protecting his client, regardless of his busy schedule. Mr. Forbes is a credit to his profession. I recall my son saying “he’s cool”. I agree!”
-Josephine S.
“My custody case has been the most painful and difficult experience in my life. As a single dad I felt like there was no justice or honor in and out of court. Like anyone would I felt I needed the best representation and that is like finding a needle in a haystack. Through my faith and prayer I was fortunate to find such a gem. I had previously looked in many places but to no prevail. At this dire time I asked and an officer of the court. He wrote a name on a piece of paper and told me to call Steven Forbes.
Please understand that his expertise and support to me was paramount in this process. His attention to detail, dedication and passion in my opinion is second to none. He is a great advocate and personifies the very best of family law. Mr. Forbes has always been consistently accesible and available, easy to talk to and understand. He fought my case with vigor and as if it were as important to him as it is to me. The court system turned my life upside down and Mr. Forbes invaluable work help put it back together. I truly couldn’t ask for anyone better.”
-Morgan O.
“Mr. Forbes is an exceptional attorney. He worked my case pro bono and still worked as though he was profiting from it. I was owed over $30,000 in child support for over 5 years and Mr. Forbes fought for the entire time. He was able to get all that was owed to me and he still keeps up with my case and makes sure that I am getting my regular monthly payments. He is an amazing attorney and has so much compassion. I highly recommend his services.”

“Mr. Forbes was assigned to represent our foster child. He was her attorney for six years. He helped us fight against the foster care agency that was trying to take her out of our home after she had been living with us her entire life. Mr. Forbes was a passionate and diligent attorney who put the welfare of our foster child above all else. And when we lost our case in Family Court, he appealed it to a higher court that reversed the decision of the Family Court. It has been a long ride, but thanks to Mr. Forbes, we are finally near the day we have dreamed about for so long which is to adopt our foster child and formally make her a part of our family. None of this would have been possible without Mr. Forbes. We are eternally grateful to him for his efforts.”
