Respect, Professionalism and making us feel welcome

From the first day we worked with Radha Chauhan, we have received nothing but excellent service. She has given us respect. She has worked with us professionally and in much kindness. She has made us feel welcome. Other staff members have treated us well too. They talked to us politely and gave us lovely cups of tea. I will not hesitate to recommend Machins to anyone who may be in need of legal representation. Keep up the good work MACHINS

Legal work for a leasehold property lease extension

Saima fully advised us through the process, responded instantly to my requests for information and copies of documents and worked with the Directors of the freeholding management company to agree the extension term based on a relative historical document I had that former Directors of the management company had seemingly misplaced / not passed on years ago to the present Directors.

Excellent Divorce Solicitor - Highly Recommended

I recently used this solicitor for my divorce proceedings and was very impressed with the service. She was efficient throughout the process, always easily contactable when I had questions or concerns and provided fair, decisive advice when I needed it most. During what was a difficult time, her professionalism and responsiveness made the experience far more manageable. I would recommend her services to anyone going through a divorce.

Personally would avoid. During my encounter with them they were encouraging conflict rather then family resolution. Seems to place more emphasis on billable hours then ethics. Hopefully with some sensitivity training and more emphasis on family values the same can be avoidable in future encounters.

We couldn't have asked for better or kinder solicitors. They helped us with a particularly nasty neighbour dispute, always offering a reasonable and calm way forward. In the end, the other side's case fell apart, before it could go to trial and we were able to settle out of court, to our advantage, thanks to Machins' diligence and understanding. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to use them again.

House Sale

Jackie Hand & Machins were excellent, recommended by our estate agent (Oliver & Akers) for good reason. The only minor negative was that we felt we could have had more email/text updates during the process as the buyer solicitors were not very good and dragged the process out. We and the buyers were both chain free, so this should have been relatively quick and straightforward process.

Excellent, professional service

Jackie Hand was fantastic throughout the whole process of us selling and buying a house. She was professional, available and incredibly efficient. She always picked up the phone to us, guided us through a tricky exchange process and always made sure to be on top of everything. I cannot recommend her enough, having a local solicitor was well worth the fees and was by far more efficient than using an online service (we encountered these in our moving chain and they are just awful!) - Jackie genuinely cared for us as her clients and looked after us every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful to her for all of her hard work!

She really puts you at ease and is always willing to answer questions, no matter how big or small. Cannot recommend her highly enough. We feel very lucky she dealt with our case, and we hope Machins know how lucky they are to have her. Now to pop open a bottle and celebrate! Thank you so much Jackie, we are eternally grateful.
