Attorney Forrest did a great job representing me in my diminished value claim after another driver damaged my vehicle. At arbitration, he supported the lost value of my vehicle with detailed evidence, including with the opinion of an experienced appraiser. He also completely discredited the other driver’s purported expert on cross-examination. As a result, the arbitrator awarded everything we asked for and more than I expected when I first contacted the firm. Forrest Legal additionally has an excellent team of paralegals and legal assistants that are responsive, helpful and kind. I highly recommend Forrest Legal.

Forrest Legal is fantastic! They made my diminished value lawsuit extremely simple for me and settled my case within one month. I highly recommend them if your vehicle was involved in an accident and you were not at fault. They settled my case for more than I expected.

Matthew from the start was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I got a call on Christmas Eve that my case was complete at a much bigger amount than anticipated. From the start I was told these things take time, which they do. My case went to arbitration which was handled beautifully by Matthew and his team. It took very little work on my end to do what was necessary in order to get back what was taken from me in the accident. I couldn’t recommend Matthew and his team more. Their expertise, professionalism, dedication and customer service is on an extraordinary level. I was referred by Fairfield Auto Collision and I am very happy that they gave me that card. Couldn’t thank Matthew and his team enough!

If someone hits your car, call Forrest Legal and save yourself a lot of time and frustration. My initial attempts to resolve my autobody repair with the at-fault insurance company failed. Forest Legal delivered a positive result on all aspects of my claim.

I had a truly fantastic experience with Attorney Matthew Forrest and his team. He recently settled a diminished value claim for my vehicle, and the monetary settlement was significantly more than I had anticipated. From the very first contact, both he and the legal staff at the firm were incredibly professional, kind, and responsive. They were always prompt in their communication and kept me informed at every step, whether through detailed emails or courteous follow-up phone calls. What really stood out was how painless they made the entire process. Dealing with insurance claims can be a challenge, but Attorney Forrest and his team handled everything with such efficiency and courtesy that it was a completely stress-free experience. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with a diminished value claim.

I contacted attorney Forrest after my Cadillac CT5 Blackwing was rear ended. I was looking at a significant loss in value due to something out of my control. Thankfully, attorney Forrest knew this as well and he went to work for me --- I'm happy to now report that he got me a diminished value figure for my vehicle that I'm extremely pleased with. Thank you to attorney Forrest and Amy!

I cannot overstate how wonderful this firm is. They walked me through the process and prepared me for my deposition. Everyone involved, but especially Attorney Forrest was professional, sincere, and highly adept and making sure I, as a client, felt heard and care for through the entire process of my suit. Thank you!

I have dealt with a lot of lawyers in my lifetime, too many. But every so often you get the pleasure of working with one that is responsive, to the point, easy to get in contact with and is sympathetic to your situation. Matthew Forrest was that lawyer for me. He handled a diminished value claim on a pretty expensive vehicle. He fought like hell to get us what we were entitled to and did so professionally and in a timely manner. I have already referred others to him and have no reservations suggesting you put him on your short list for any diminished value or vehicle related matters. Highly Recommended.

Attorney Forrest and his staff were very thorough and professional. The majority of the case was handled by them so my part was easy. They kept me informed and answered any questions that I had. Attorney Forrest took the time to speak with me about any concerns that I had. My car was hit by a drunk driver and we settled the case of diminished value and I was compensated fairly. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for you kind words.
