“The Bill of Costs you have prepared is an exceptional piece of work”
– Steve Beasley, Quality Solicitors CMHT Walsall
“Philip Benns has an eagle eye for detail”
“Following a 6 day Trial the High Court ordered a summary assessment of costs. To make things harder there was a split costs order and our time costs exceeded £600,000. Forest Costing Service prepared a bill for summary assessment on extremely short notice that was entirely compliant, with stunning accuracy.”
Patrick Tedstone, Managing Partner,
ORJ Solicitors LLP, Stafford
“I have used Forest Costing Service on both routine and very substantial Bills and Precedent H work. I have found them to be knowledgeable, helpful and efficient and would happily recommend them”
