MSB Service
John was extremely professional and full of knowledge in his area of expertise. I felt John was very honest from day one and made me feel at ease in ensuring the case would have the best possible outcome for my children. The case was handled in such a way that it was amicable all the way through.

Excellent solicitors.
Having just completed a divorce with John Owen’s and his team at MSB, I can only give the highest recommendation to all at MSB, an absolute pleasure to deal with in what is rarely a pleasant situation. I found the representation to be excellent and the staff a joy to work with. If I were in the same situation I would most certainly use MSB again and am in fact having wills and power of attorneys done by MSB. A truly professional operation with a fantastic success rate. Thank you John, Tom, Eva and all the team. Very much appreciated.

Divorce by John Owens
Having just completed my divorce dealt with by John Owen’s at MSB solicitors, I have only the highest regard for John and all his team at MSB. Divorce is neither a cheap or simple matter but with John I always felt that I had the best possible representation and support. Without John and his team I feel certain that I would not have achieved the end result which was a definite victory as far as I and my x wife are concerned, so a great success in my opinion. If you need expert legal representation with a fantastic success rate, I believe that you can do no better.
A huge thank you to John, Tom, Eva and all at MSB, a truly professional company.

Highly recommended!!
John has recently helped me with a property dispute with my ex partner. With his help I was able to reach a resolution and put the stressful matter behind me.
John was robust, prompt and determined as well as guiding, trustworthy and empathetic. I would recommend John in a heartbeat and would 100% instruct him again!!
Thank you so much for everything. I now feel like a massive weight has been lifted from me.
