Long and stressful Divorce

The whole process was lengthy and stressful obtaining a financial clean break I managed the divorce process myself, my experience with this solicitors was not particularly great especially at the end of the process when my solicitor felt my supporting information to go with my forms for the judges approval of a financial clean break was not applicable and the judge threw back the case for more information hence causing further upset stress and finances re applying, because of this I believe my case was misrepresented, other than this I would state that I achieved the overall outcome I wanted a solicitor for but I also couldn't confidently recommend your services to others.

5-stars for EMG Solicitors

I recently sold my property through EMG Solicitors and I was extremely impressed with the service I received. My solicitor, Sam Thompson, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He dealt with all aspects of the sale in a timely and efficient manner, and he was always able to explain complex legal matters to me in a clear and concise way.

I would highly recommend EMG Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor. Sam Thompson is a credit to the firm and I am grateful for his excellent service.
