Efficient, knowledgeable very experienced lawyer. Sue made me feel comfortable in the most difficult situation of my life. She was sensitive to my needs and I felt heard by her. She was transparent in her advice and explained the legal proceedings in the simple manner so that I can understand.

I got in touch with EMG solicitors as I needed some advice regarding employment law. I was recommended EMG solicitors from a friend and can happily say they did not disappoint. Graham was lovely and very professional and efficient in dealing with the matter. I was kept informed each step of the way and overall I cannot fault the service I received.

Really poor experience working with EMG on the sale of two homes and purchase of our new property. The conveyancing team are hugely overworked to the point where the vast majority of our transaction was not handled with or dealt with by the solicitor and unfair pressure is put on individuals who don't necessarily have the experience when things get tricky. We chose EMG knowing we were paying a premium but with several recommendations from friends and family we expected a premium service - unfortunately the opposite is true. The key issue here was communication (or lack of) which, front and centre of the website is supposedly one of EMG's strengths. Multiple issues throughout including missing a payment we had made two weeks prior (causing a two week delay) which lead to us being homeless and perhaps most shockingly realising after we completed that they had lost the signed copy of our mortgage deed - how we were able to complete without this is beyond me. I felt for the vast majority of time I was the only one keeping on top of the transaction or chasing the other side. On two occasions we raised issues with the Head of Residential conveyancing but have had no response. In the interest of being balanced we were really pleased with the efforts of our solicitor close to completion after some complex issues arose but unfortunately by that point it was too late in the day.

An enormous thank you to Jess and Baljinder for their exceptional service throughout our sale and purchase process. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication were evident from the start. Jess and Baljinder ensured that every aspect of the transaction was handled smoothly and efficiently. Their prompt communication and attention to detail instilled confidence and made the entire process stress-free. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Jess and Baljinder, for your outstanding support!

Fantastic service and professionalism by Baljinder Gadi, Michelle Maberly and the team at EMG. This is the second time weā€™ve used them for property conveyancing. The purchase was not easy due to a ā€˜Land registry amendmentā€™ and we eventually completed on Friday. We were kept informed every step of the way and every enquiry whether by phone or email was returned the same day. 5* recommendation and reasonable fees.
