    Well they say a house move is one the most stressful things you can do and trust me my move was one of them due to other parties solicitors communication. I cannot thank Elizabeth Simpson at MFG enough along with Javed Ahmed for being ontop of things and pushing things along as it took neigh on 19 weeks!!!

    Very professional - Darryll Thomas and his team acted very quickly to support me with an employment matter - Darryll set up a call with me, and handled the rest. His advice enabled me to reach a fair outcome. His manner and approach was so welcoming. He understood my situation and guided me accordingly.

    Overall, the experience was acceptable. However, I was disappointed by an error relating to the date of an email that was referenced in support of my case. The solicitor referred to the expiry date rather than the actual sent date, which caused confusion for both my former Head of Sales and Head of HR. I believe the outcome may have taken a different course had this been referenced correctly from the outset.

    mfg Solicitors LLP

    Thank you, Thomas, for your honest feedback. We appreciate you highlighting the issue with the email date and understand how this caused confusion. We take comments like yours seriously and will review our processes to help prevent similar errors in the future. Kind regards, mfg Solicitors LLP

    On retirement of my Solicitor and a new area I had to look for another professional. I was recommended mfg Solicitors and was so impressed from word go. Met at reception by a delightful receptionist, more than helpful and I have now a very wonderful paralegal. A very professional easy to talk with and work getting done quickly. Highly recommended.

      Excellent, efficient and professional service

      The Conveyancing for my recent house sale was dealt with in a professional and very efficient manner. All staff and especially the Associate who dealt with the conveyancing (Deborah Bufton) were friendly and efficient. I would recommend MFG for any conveyancing matters.

      Making our Wills

      My partner and I found the process to be very smooth and efficient. This was down to Katie and the team working with her. Katie is a lovely young lady and was friendly, approachable, very knowledgeable and efficient from start to finish. She gave us lots of advice and covered aspects of making a Will that we didn't even think about. She made the whole process a lot easier than we expected and answered any questions that we had making us feel reassured and comfortable throughout the process. Thank you very much for your help. Will definitely recommend.
