My review of Boys and Maughan's solicitor, Kirsty McGhee.
Firstly I would like to say that Boys and Maughan would not of been my first choice if I didn't need a high end, up there, solicitor. But because we had the local authority involved, I was not about to pick a solicitor from the list that the local authority handed me and my partner. No way.
I took it upon myself to find us the best of the best in the UK. And up popped Boys and Maughan. One of the highest ranked firms in the whole of the UK. So I asked them to take my case.
I ended up with a truly wonderful solicitor called Kirsty McGhee; I couldn't of been happier with her.
Where do I start? Firstly.. Kirsty always puts her clients best interests at heart, and always explains everything in exceptional detail for her clients to understand. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I've never seen anything like it!
Kirsty really is a massive credit to the Boys and Maughan firm and I really feel she deserves some kind of recognition for her work, whether it be a promotion... a pay rise, or even an award. She needs something to show her that her work does not go unnoticed!
The time and dedication that Kirsty puts into her cases, truly is remarkable. There were times where i had endless worries and questions; Kirsty ended up catching all of that. I would call, heaven only knows how many times a day. Sometimes I would even try to comtact her after hours! There were times where she would even answer her phone if it was an emergency for me out of hours (For example; when my mother in law dropped my son and we went up to the hospital late at night). Kirsty is just absolutely incredible and I've never seen someone so darn amazing at their work; especially as a solicitor!
One of the most incredible things about Kirsty, is that while handling my case, she was a Trainee Solicitor, but I will tell you all something.. you would think she had been a solicitor for 50+ years! (She's not old enough for that).
I was absolutely terrified of the case that we were involved in, but Kirsty made sure it went as smoothly and quickly as possible. If she wasn't happy with the way another party handled things, she was not afraid to step up and say so to them. I think we would have been a bit buggered without Kirsty. I wouldn't of wanted any other solicitor to handle the sensitive case we had.
I would highly and deeply recommend Boys and Maughan, more importantly... Kirsty McGhee, to anyone who needs a decent, honest, hard working and outstanding solicitor by their side to help fight their corner.
I was actually quite sad to see that Kirsty's involvement had to come to an end after we won the case, but I will never forget all the hard work, the fight, the time and effort, and the sheer respect and sincerity that Kirsty had put into our case.
My main point is that Kirsty McGhee, really is the solicitor you want. She has a heart of pure gold, a kind soul, an extraordinary work ethic and a lot of fire in her heart with a huge passion for her job. Nothing will stop her fighting your corner! If you can't get Kirsty, then at least have someone from Boys and Maughan; although.. I doubt they will be as good as Kirsty ;) (not sure if I'm joking or not myself.. so I had to add the wink face in the hopes of not being offensive)
I think i may have written enough on this review now. But honestly.. thank you to Boys and Maughan for giving us the best solicitor we could of ever asked for.. and thank you Kirsty, for every single bit of hard work and everything that you poured into our case. You truly are amazing and I will never forget everything you have done for us.
Thank you.
Yours eternally grateful,
Abbie and the mini Jedi x
P.S) Your firm really needs to give Kirsty some proper recognition for the work she does :)
