Amy helped me buy my first house! She was friendly, professional and made the legalities of my house purchase crystal clear. Amy's communication was prompt and efficient and I felt able to ask any questions I had without judgement. Highly recommended.

I’ve dealt with Amy McKay at two very different stages of my home owning life and both times she has been incredibly patient and kind and helped explain every step to me. I really appreciate all the help she has given me and she went above and beyond to help me understand a complex situation.

This has been a very complicated and ever changing renewal. Katie has been extremely efficient and has kept me up to date with any communication. I appreciated a phone call before the court date to discuss any last minute concerns.

As well as providing excellent legal advice in relation to an employment issue, Simon Mayberry of Balfour + Manson was consistently supportive, and was instrumental in reaching a good outcome. Albeit always professional, it was a great pleasure to work with Simon.

Amy is wonderful to work with - friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Their support throughout the conveyancing on both our properties was stellar - from supporting our buyout on one, to selling the other (including full service provision from marketing through to sale).

My husband and I recently bought a property with Balfour and Manson acting on our behalf. From the moment we met Amy McKay, we felt we were in safe hands. Amy kept us up to date during the whole process and when a few issues came up we knew that Amy was working to work through these. We would wholeheartedly recommend Amy and Balfour and Manson.

Amazing company, first class litigation team. If your looking for a solicitor that can pull out all the stops then look no further than michaela guthrie. She won me a personal injury claim which was very tricky to say the least. Communication skills were second to none. Also very understanding and caring. Well done michaela. Keep up your amazing work..

I Would like to thank Fiona Muirs for all the hard work she put in to my case.
It was a long and lengthy process however, worth it in the end.... (Nothing to do with fiona)
I was always made aware of what was happening and Fiona communicated with me all the way through.
I felt so relaxed speaking to Fiona and she always listened.
Thanks again Fiona.
