Easement
The firm was excellent. Transparent with charges and quick to respond to all initial enquiries setting out a detailed schedule of costs. We were Kempsey informed through the process and other parties approached for the Easement were dealt with professionally and quickly.

Great communication, reliable.
I have used MFG for many years and over that time I have tapped in to different specialist areas to support my family and my business. MFG have offered clear advice and always been excellent communicators. There has been times when I have asked them, at short notice, to work to a deadline and they have always delivered. Thank you.
