Excellent
I can only praise the way that mfg Solicitors helped me to understand all the legal jargon that was the reason for me contacting them. The information was broken down clearly and my options were explained in easy to understand terms that I could deal with. mfg Solicitors provided friendly and professional advice while dealing with my situation. I was kept in the loop constantly and felt that I was important to them.

An excellent experience in what was a very difficult and challenging situation, one which I had never experienced before. The advice was professional and the manner in which it was handled made the experience a lot less stressful and upsetting than it would have been otherwise.

Excellent & Efficient
I highly recommend this friendly yet professional firm of solicitors for a smooth and thorough transaction. The whole process was lengthy, however, the staff were all very supportive and efficient. They were always at the end of a phone call, no matter how busy they were. I will definitely use them again for my next transaction.
