I don't think this situationcould've been handled any better. Considering the circumstances Nigel was a consummate professional. He was very thoughtful with any with any communication. He fully understood how harrowing the circumstances were and made the experience of sorting out my late sister's estate as easy as possible. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

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 and his Paralegal Nasim were absolutely top notch! 5 Stars! If I could give more I would! Professional, efficient, caring and explained every step efficiently and without making me feel like I knew absolutely nothing (which in honestly, I actually didn’t!) Would recommend without a doubt. Philip is an amazing asset to the Company and I can’t thank him enough.

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.
