Support with settlement agreement

My experience with Graham and Josie was excellent. They both helped me in understanding a process that was unexpected and unfamiliar, and were prompt and professional in their communication. Their approach has led me to use EMG for another service and is now my trusted choice for legal representation

My late mother's estate.

I am a retired solicitor with almost 40 years experience in private practice including running my own city centre firms. I retired from private practice in 2011 but continued my work as a Legal Aid Peer Reviewer and as a member of the Legal Aid Appeals Panel for some years thereafter. I was on both the Family and Personal Injury Panels of the Law Society and over the years had experience in most areas (too many to list here) of general practice including a great deal of domestic and commercial conveyancing, general litigation and the administration of estates. I like to think that I still know what I am looking for in the way legal work should be carried out though unfortunately in my experience this is sometimes far from the case. I would have no hesitation in saying that Mike's work, advice and attention to detail was first class. Calls and email were taken or returned without delay and without exception. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and EMG to others or indeed if necessary (hope not too soon given my age) instructing him again. First class.
