Best solicitors I've ever used

I had to find a new solicitor's firm recently and as EMG had opened a new office in my town I decided to take a gamble and try them. I've used their conveyancing department, their litigation department and their Wills department, liaising with various different staff members.

EMG are friendly, approachable, thorough, efficient and I always knew I was in safe hands. The vendor whose house I bought was envious at how excellent my conveyancing solicitor Gillian Haines was in comparison to her own solicitor!

Highly recommended and I will definitely use EMG in the future.

Best experience with EMG Solicitors

Court of Protection

When looking for solicitors for Court of Protection work I don't know why the name EMG jumped out at me but it did and thank goodness! Sarah and Suzannah saved my sanity when I was fighting an NHS Trust over their wish to put my both mentally and physically seriously ill brother through the horror of ECT. I cannot praise them enough. They even went above and beyond responding to worries I had further down the line. If you would like Court of Protection help, look no further.

Top quality conveyancing

EMG Solicitors helped me with my purchase of my first home. They have been absolutely fantastic throughout. Top quality service for an incredibly reasonable price. Carrie-Anne Irving and Gillian Haines are a real credit to EMG. From the very first instruction phone call all the way to completion and beyond, they have been approachable, quick to respond, patient, and personable. They have guided me through the whole process and answered all my many questions thoroughly and in a way that is understandable. They are incredibly responsive and don’t leave you waiting for answers. Their client customer service has been exceptional throughout. It can quite a daunting process as a first time buyer but they both made everything so much easier. If you are looking for conveyancing these are your people!

A very easy process

The purchase of our property was seamless and quick. I would thoroughly recommend EMG for their conveyancing work. The team kept me fully informed of what was happening and were very professional in their communications.

EMG Solicitors have been exceptional from start to finish. Even our estate agents commented on how pleased they were to work with such an efficient organisation.

We have another property to sell in the future and will undoubtedly choose EMG again.

Thank you very much.

Fantastic experience with Gillian, Carrie and the team for our house purchase. Everything done so quickly and really patient with me when I didn't quite understand some of the documents fully. So efficient in fact that a member of my family is jealous that we got our house finalised before them and haven't been round to visit since which is definitely worth a 6 star review!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with EMG on the purchase of my first home, from the outset they were brilliant, really understood my naivety and did everything they could to make me feel at ease and make sure I understood what was required. I would like to mention Carrie-Ann in particular who was professional and efficient but really supported me and kept me up to date with the progress. Thank you to Carrie-Ann and the team for everything, so happy in my new home wine in hand knowing everything has been handled just right thank you! Couldn’t recommend enough.
