I had a great experience with EMG solicitors from the initial consultation through to final paperwork. They always acted in my best interest (and weren't shy to tell me when what I was requesting wasn't reasonable). If I need legal representation again I would have no quarms with engaging their services again.

Impeccable really

Dedicated, realistic, and exceed expectations. I have better mental health for my involvement and I can trust them to be amazing for me. Thank you so much for getting it all exactly how I wanted. Emg is caring about it all and they know how people feel and they get it... They do all the work for you and enjoy it. They respect my ideas and input as a matter of course and do the job properly. They really are remarkable.

Even a simple house sale can be a stressful business, but Callum Robinson, Kushy Kour and Vicky Mortimer helped to make everything go smoothly. Thank you all!
