When time mattered

My team was negotiating a contract with a potential customer. Our solicitor was too busy for a quick turnaround. I contacted Kamil and liaised with his colleague Paul.
Paul called me very promptly to review the proposed changes and gave me excellent advice which led to us being in a position to negotiate much better terms.
I can't say thank you enough to Paul and I will be back next time I need help.

Excellent professional and friendly person

We consulted Susie as we needed to have a new will and a trust.
Many thanks to her. She has given us some very clear advice in a friendly and professional way.
We are extremely grateful for all her help and have no hesitation in recommending her.

Susie Roberts Our Ref: 106572.001/Your Ref: 10721/PJD External Inbox

My sister and I sought advice regarding our role as trustees, where the trust was being closed down. We had not been consulted regarding this decision and needed clear advice regarding our roles and responsibilities regarding next steps.
Susie was sympathetic and supportive as the specific family complexities were described. She enabled us to make an informed decision and, by acting on our behalf, negotiated a resolution in a professional and reasonable way.
We are both very grateful.

Family!

I/we have known McHales for many years and feel like family. Nothing is too much trouble, even when you know it is. From their reception to the top - all smiles and kindness. A gift in itself. Our experiences are mainly with David Burke and Zakkiya Azad. I could take them home! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

I hope this review will be helpful!

I would like to express my complete satisfaction with the legal services provided by Nicole Frankiewicz McHale & Co during the purchase of our new home. From the very beginning of our collaboration, Nicole Frankiewicz demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail.

The process of purchasing a property is complex and requires precise knowledge and experience. Nicole Frankiewicz patiently explained all the legal intricacies and supported us at every stage of the transaction. Her ability to clearly and understandably explain complicated legal issues was invaluable.

I also appreciate the speed and efficiency of Nicole Frankiewicz who swiftly and without unnecessary delays handled all the necessary formalities. Her accuracy and thoroughness gave us confidence that our interests were in good hands.

Thanks to Nicole Frankiewicz the entire home-buying process went smoothly and with minimal stress. Her professionalism and empathy made us feel safe and assured at all times.

I wholeheartedly recommend the legal services of Nicole Frankiewicz McHale & Co to anyone looking for a reliable and competent lawyer to assist with purchasing a property.

We sincerely thank you for your help and wish you continued professional success.

Moving home made as straightforward and stress free as possible

I can't fault the service I received from Phillippa Holcroft and Mark Owen who made purchasing my new build home as straightforward and stress free as the home buying process can be. Helpful and professional throughout the whole process, Phillippa's experience with purchasing new build homes was particularly evident. Very approachable and no question was too much trouble to provide me with an answer either, thank you.

First class service from Phillippa Holcroft and Mark Owen.

Phillippa and Mark have been outstanding every step of the way of our sale and purchase. It was far from straight forward but everything was explained clearly and completed quickly. I would recommend them and McHale & Co. to anyone in need of legal services.

Amazing Stephanie got us moving

I cant thanks Stephanie enough for all her hard work including other in the team Michelle and Jessica. They knew we had a tight deadline after previous buyers pulling out. They not only helped me they also help push the buyers solicitors to get everything moving. Stephanie is professional, helpful and above all caring of her clients. I used McHales now for conveyancing and for Will, Power of Attorney. They have me great on all 3.

I was referred to McHale and Co. by Schroders Private Banking as I wished to have a Last Will and Testament written. My Solicitor was a lovely lady called Joy Marshall. Joy was very helpful, supportive, and accommodating throughout the whole process. She made sure that I understood everything and that we got everything right so there were no loose ends, meaning that once my Will was completed, I have complete peace of mind. On personal level, I found it quite a thought-provoking process, particularly in the light of my recent, personal life experiences, but Joy’s reassurance helped me though as she was so approachable, understanding, and relatable. In order to have my Will signed and witnessed, Joy and a colleague were able to visit my home when I was unable to attend the office, which was very accommodating of them. I would recommend Joy to anyone who asked me about getting a Last Will and Testament written. Joy is currently helping me with the process of setting up lasting Power of Attorney. Thank you again for your service.
