Reflection of advice and service given

Advice given based on evidence I gave initially we would win the case or worst case scenario it would be a split cost.

Ended up paying the full amount plus more, I feel this was down to the solicitor being prepared for meetings, seemed very unprofessional and I walked away thinking we lost because of the choice of solicitor.

Natalie was a lovely woman but I felt that she was completely overwhelmed by the other sides solicitor and it showed throughout.

Excellent service

I was really grateful to EMG for their recent efforts on my part. They helped me navigate a difficult and stressful time successfully and several departments worked together to help me resolve several issues at the same time.

Kind, thorough and support advise - highly recommended

I would like to highly recommend the services of Nathan Maddison at the Penrith office of EMG Solicitors. His knowledge, patience, kindess and clear understanding of the best path when dealing with the sudden passing of a dear family member was such a help and support in what was a very difficult time. Nathan spoke with compassion, but also expertise. He was reassuring and supportive. Highly recommended!

Not quite dependable!

Up until the last few days before Completion, things went OK but timely communication was then lacking and the solicitor in charge of my conveyancing could not be contacted. Even following completion, my bank details were found to have been taken down wrongly thereby delaying the transfer of monies to my account.

I'm so glad I found EMG

Having received such efficient professional help with care and interest in me as a person and not the usual ‘just a name’ and tick the boxes way of work, so often given. I'm sure I can guarantee you will be satisfied with all the help you will receive. I'm so glad I found EMG and Samantha Edward.

Excellent Service

I was warned by my estate agents that the average conveyancing was taking an average of 16 weeks and we exchange after seven. Everyone I dealt with delivered a high level of professional service.

Samantha recently assisted my mum with updating her will and making sure all of her affairs were in order. She has the perfect balance of being highly professional and genuinely caring. She explained everything in layman's terms and made the whole process extremely easy for us. We would highly recommend her services. There was also a very warm welcome from the reception staff at every appointment.
