Attorney Stephen F. Forbes (formerly of Forbes & Broadwell) has been practicing law in Hampton Roads since 1982. As the owner and primary litigator of Forbes Law Firm, he represents seriously injured clients in personal injury suits and workers’ compensation claims, and he has extensive criminal law trial experience as well.

Mr. Forbes recognizes that the collective wisdom of a jury is wiser than any one mind, and he has relied on that collective wisdom time and again to protect his clients’ rights, liberties, and livelihoods against unfair treatment by insurance companies, large corporations, and unscrupulous individuals.

Attorney Forbes secured a jury verdict over $2 million, including punitive damages, for a local high school football coach for defamation of character.

On numerous occasions, Mr. Forbes has obtained jury verdicts and settlements over $100,000 in automobile accident cases in which there was little to no property damage, but the clients were badly injured.

Mr. Forbes has also obtained Workers’ Compensation settlements in the millions for workers permanently injured in accidents on the job.
