Max McGenityStephen Attree

Tagged solicitors Max McGenity and Stephen Attree

After 46 years working as a chartered surveyor and estate agent in Manchester, I made the decision to retire. I chose MLP Law, as my solicitor as I had been advised of their experience in selling businesses. They were AMAZING! I can't thank Stephen Attree and Max McGenity enough for their patience, support and help with what has been possibly the most stressful personal experience/ adventure of my life. They have been there for me every step of the way and worked alongside my agent Atomic- what a fantastic team. Thank you so much Stephen and Max Lawrence Copeland FRICS FNAEA
