About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Outstanding Support, Commercial Insight & A True Partner to Our Business
We recently worked with Amelia and the team at MLP Law on a complex and sensitive matter, and I cannot speak highly enough of the support we received. From the outset, Amelia took the time to really understand our business, the commercial context, and the outcome we were trying to achieve. That made a huge difference. The advice we received wasn’t just legally sound — it was practical, balanced, and aligned to how we operate as a business. Communication throughout was excellent. We were kept fully updated at every stage, things were explained clearly, and we always felt in control of the process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, even when timelines were tight and the situation was evolving quickly. What really stood out was how personable and approachable Amelia is. She builds trust quickly, speaks in a way that makes sense (not legal jargon), and genuinely feels like an extension of your team rather than an external advisor. On behalf of the directors and owners at Clarity Group, I’d like to say a genuine thank you. Your support helped us navigate a challenging situation and bring it to a positive and controlled conclusion. We would have no hesitation in recommending MLP Law and look forward to working together again in the future. Ian Byrne, Group Director of People & Culture On behalf of the Directors & Owners, Clarity Group

Thank you so much, Ian, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and generous review. We truly appreciate your kind words and the trust you and the team at Clarity Group placed in us. It was a pleasure working with you on such an important and sensitive matter. Amelia and the wider team will be delighted to hear that their approach, communication, and commercial insight made a positive difference. We always strive to provide clear, practical advice and to feel like a genuine extension of our clients’ teams, so it’s incredibly rewarding to know this came through in your experience.

We recently instructed Victoria Hands in the sale of our family home and could not have been happier with the extremely efficient and friendly service she provided! She responded immediately to every email sent and the sale was completed much quicker than I expected. She did an incredible job and we felt very lucky to have been her clients. Exceptional service and would not hesitate to recommend Victoria and instruct her again - absolutely worth her weight in gold🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much for your kind words and taking time to leave such an amazing review! We’re incredibly proud to have Victoria on our team, she’s a real asset!

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

Hi Lawrence, Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure working with you — both as a partner and a client. We wish you all the very best in this exciting new chapter of retirement. Should you ever need us again, we’ll be here for you.

I have been very impressed with the services provided by Doris Raggatt and Victoria Hands in handling my late father's estate and the sale of his property. The communication and attention to detail were first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending MLP Law for similar services.

My experience with Doris Raggatt has been absolutely exceptional. She was quick to respond, listened, and was very clear with her advise when dealing with my late mothers estate. People give stories of bad solicitors, however Doris is the best solicitor I have ever worked with. Thank you Doris.

3rd time luckier with Victoria Hands
I've now used Victoria Hands for three property transactions and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her (and do constantly). After using Victoria at a previous firm, I made a point of finding her again when she moved to MLP Law because I was so impressed with the service she provided the first time round. Victoria is always incredibly efficient, approachable and easy to deal with. Her communication is excellent throughout the whole process - keeping you updated every step of the way and always happy to answer any questions. What really stands out is how quickly she gets things moving, helping transactions progress smoothly and without unnecessary delays. House sales can be so stressful, but each time Victoria makes the whole experience feel straightforward and well managed. Her professionalism, attention to detail and proactive approach give you complete confidence that everything is in safe hands. Thank you, Victoria, for another seamless transaction. I wouldn't go anywhere else and will happily continue recommending you to friends and family 😘
