About the Firm

Robert T. Forrester trained with Barrow firm Pickavance & Heron just before World War II. After the war he left to work for Frank Taylor in Cornwallis Street. Robert T. Forrester continued to practice in Cornwallis Street after Frank Taylor’s death and became well-liked and a formidable solicitor known for his criminal defence work. He was also the Superintendent Registrar of births, deaths and marriages for Barrow for may years.  He later amalgamated with Pickavance & Heron in 1962 to form Pickavance & Forrester. In 1965 this became Robert T. Forrester and then in 1975 Robert (Jnr) joined his father and the firm changed to Robert T. Forrester & Son.

Angus Adams joined the firm as a newly qualified solicitor in 1976 and is head of the non-contentious department. A further name change took place in 1984 when the firm simply became known as Forresters Solicitors. In 1996 Michael Graham joined the Firm and is now head of the criminal department. Jeremy Fish joined the firm two years later and is head of the family and children department.
