Very good service

This company was recommended to me by a friend. Nathan has been a very sympathetic and helpful advisor after my husband died, and together we have sorted out all the important legal issues. The office is also very handy for me to get to on Gosforth High Street.

Had a home visit and was very pleased with the service received. Only problem was the time it took to register Powers of Attorney, but that is because of delay at registration office and not with Solicitor

Friendly and Efficient

I have a very difficult custody case at the moment and it's nice to speak with an impartial person who doesn't offer judgment or opinion but listens to you and gives thought provoking feedback. After a meeting with Sue I felt refreshed, listened to and also reflective on my overall situation.

An enormous thank you to Jess and Baljinder for their exceptional service throughout our sale and purchase process. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication were evident from the start. Jess and Baljinder ensured that every aspect of the transaction was handled smoothly and efficiently. Their prompt communication and attention to detail instilled confidence and made the entire process stress-free. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Jess and Baljinder, for your outstanding support!

Fantastic service and professionalism by Baljinder Gadi, Michelle Maberly and the team at EMG. This is the second time we’ve used them for property conveyancing. The purchase was not easy due to a ‘Land registry amendment’ and we eventually completed on Friday. We were kept informed every step of the way and every enquiry whether by phone or email was returned the same day. 5* recommendation and reasonable fees.

Very variable service. Having worked with 3 people, first was excellent, second obviously retiring, third was an expensive frustrating unproductive non cooperative experience.

Appointment attended today at the Gosforth EMG solicitors office. I have never felt so embarrased, and upset (as paying a client) than I did in my appointment today. The allocated solicitor had not sent me an email asking for initial payment despite having my email and other staff making 3 phone calls to me to set up the appointment. I was then told when the meeting broke down as the solicitor had not read any information I had sent him that he did not think I would pay him anyway. Appalling practice and discrimination.

EMG represented my ex wife during children's arrangements and finances, both requiring the input of the family court. Julia's Middleton's work was of a very poor standard, she seems not to know who the respondent or applicant was, she was inconsistent with salary information, using my ex wife's net salary and my gross salary, she struggled to fill in court paper work so my solicitor had to correct her many errors. Julia also seemed to not understand how to calculate equity in a property.

My outcome in both issues was better than I expected, so I should really thank Julia as it would appear that for all of Julia's input she failed to achieve anything.
