About Forbes Law Offices, PLLC

Phone: 304-343-4050

The attorneys at Forbes Law Offices are experienced litigators handling complex trials and appeals for those that have been seriously injured or lost a loved one due to the negligence or misconduct of others. Our attorneys have decades of experience representing victims of violent crimes and serious injuries and obtaining accountability and justice for survivors. Cases the firm have handled often gather local and national media attention with their attorneys having been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN, ABC News, MSNBC, HBO, CBS, and Inside Edition, among other outlets.

The firm was founded by a former prosecutor who also served as a Vice President of the National District Attorneys Association and the current managing member began his career as a guardian ad litem for abused children in the court system and has spent the years since representing survivors of such abuses in the pursuit of civil justice, currently serving on the Advisory Board for the National Crime Victims Bar Association. The firm recently served as part of a litigation team on behalf of child abuse survivors of a now shuttered boarding school resulting in more than $100 million dollars being recovered for the victims.

In addition to representing survivors of childhood trauma and abuse, the firm routinely represents those who have been injured by police excessive force and corrections misconduct and those that have experienced serious medical negligence. The firm’s focus has always been on litigation and their trial and appellate results on behalf of their clients speak for themselves.

While the practice focuses on the representation of victims of abuse and misconduct, including against churches, schools, troubled teen industries, institutions, medical providers, police, teachers, correctional institutions, and other groups; the attorneys with Forbes Law Offices are extremely experienced in all facets of litigation from individual injury cases to complex actions including mass torts and class actions. With attorneys from the firm having been involved in large and complicated civil actions and complex litigation, Forbes Law Offices often co-counsels with other attorneys across the nation to pursue justice for their clients at the trial and appellate levels.
