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

Settlement Agreements Made Easy

I have used Machins twice now for helping me review and sign off my employment settlement agreement. I found Monica extremely professional and diligent. She was very proactively and efficient in her communications with myself but also importantly with my employer. Monica made sure that I was able to understand the terms of the agreement and guided/advised me on my options and best possible outcomes. I would highly recommend Monica and happily use her services again.

I contacted Machins Solicitors regarding an outcome of a disciplinary hearing and employment laws. Phil was my solicitor and his service was BRILLIANT: he fully listened to my case and we discussed all points about it. He was honest, very empathic, and explained what I could do in my situation. He saved me from countless hours of anxiety and bad sleep nights. Wish him all the best, Best regards, Tiago

Philip Bain helped me with an HR contract which required verifying and validating. It was my first time dealing with him, though we have used the Machins family law department for other matters. The company is efficient, friendly and professional, and manages to demystify legal terminology for ease of understanding. 100% recommend!

Remarkable Employment Solicitor Employment solicitor Philip Bain helped me out of a very difficult LGBTQIA+ discrimination circumstance and secured a positive outcome for me. His finesse in handling the situation and emotions that evolved was remarkable. I looked for an employment solicitor because I was lost under all the secrecy and hedging that have been applied over a discrimination situation. I had no voice to deal with it. However, Phil was my voice. He listened, understood, clarified, and planned a strategy to deal with the case. He is professional, understanding, and highly knowledgeable. A leader in his field, I would recommend Phil to everyone in need of employment issues. Phil, thank you very much.

The service, professionalism and communication from Jackie has been outstanding. She dealt with our sale and purchase with such care and grace. 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.
