If it was possible to give 0 stars…

This place is horrible and very intrusive for the wrong reasons, the solicitor Jennifer and Reena along with the manager Sarah are very unprofessional hence why I had to go through three firm members just to represent my case properly. This place is a charity and if you want good representation it’s worth going somewhere where your not left feeling empty.

A representative from Machins Solicitors LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you were left feeling disappointed.

I have recently used Machins Solicitors for an employment matter and was impressed from start to finish with their service. Phil Bain was in-charge of my case and was absolutely incredible, he kept me updated every step of the way, answered every question I had and was a pleasure to deal with. Phil is a credit to the Machins team, would highly recommend Machins solicitors to everyone.

Have used Machins many times, more so for family issues and house conveyancing, unfortunately I had the need to use them for a recent potential employment related issue. Both Philip Bain & David Rushmere were absolutely fantastic. They offered good sound practical advise and guided me calmly through a situation that could have quite easily escalated. I highly recommend them both and can only thank them both for their recent endeavors.

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.

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.
