Mark Feely

Tagged solicitor Mark Feely

My sister and I needed to sell our parents home following them having to move into a care home, and chose Mark Feely was very highly recommended by a family member. We had a difficult journey with buyers and buyers solicitors. Mark was amazing and dealt with everything, and rather than playing pass the email back and forth, he talked to people and resolved the endless issues as they arose. He took time to ask as to how our parents were doing and could not have been more kind and supportive to us at this very difficult time. We wish we could give more than five stars.
