Alyssa Forbes

"It’s a privilege to fight for the acknowledgement, justice and compensation my clients deserve, after the turmoil of their abuse at the hands of people who were meant to care for them, but who did the opposite.”

Based in Shine Lawyers’ Dandenong branch, Alyssa is a Senior Associate in our Abuse Law practice. She’s driven to secure the acknowledgement and restitution her clients deserve.  

Alyssa specialises in representing survivors of childhood abuse in claims against the government departments and private institutions who failed in their duty to care. These include: 

• Government entities responsible for wards or children under care and supervision orders 

• Private entities such as foster care homes and residential care facilities 

• Private or religious entities responsible for operating schools in Melbourne and Victoria 

Alyssa is tenacious in her legal approach. She exhausts all avenues of investigation and applies pressure to defendants to secure the best outcomes for her clients.
