William Forbes is a total waste of time and money in Divorce cases. STAY AWAY!!!
He should be ashamed to call himself a lawyer. He has absolutely NO BACKBONE. He appears flustered and lost when in negotiations during special masters. Gets pushed around by everyone, even the court clerk. Never made an argument. Takes the path of least resistance. THIS GUY IS USELESS.... If your getting divorced...
SAVE YOUR FUTURE AND YOUR MONEY... Get a REAL lawyer.

Hired Attorney

Do yourself a favor and do not hire this man. He's cheap for a reason. He can't spell, he doesn't even know how to spell his own clients name, he doesn't know who the plaintiff and the defendant are on forms he fills out,, fills put the wrong courthouse and jurisdiction on court documents, can't remember client's contact information and will repeatedly ask for email address and phone number. Doesn't understand how family court operates thinks he can negotiate with child support enforcement when the money owed is documented and due. He wil also keep continuing your case to line his pockets. Might as well throw your hard earned money into a fire pit.
