Shareownership purchase

I highly recommend Ashley. She is very professional and pays close attention to detail. She always makes sure everything is clear before moving forward and won’t complete anything unless she’s confident there won’t be any problems.
She truly supports her clients and always works in their best interest. If something isn’t clear, she asks the right questions to get the full picture. She is also easy to contact and always gives honest, helpful advice. I felt very safe and supported throughout the whole process

Thank you so much for all your efforts to get this to completion, a fantastic job!

From our talks, I know this wasn’t easy at all, however you really have helped Matt and his young children avoid what could have been a whole different future for them.

I cannot thank you enough for all your efforts in supporting my client, amazing 😊

Excellent service provided

Ashley was particularly outstanding—she took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring I understood all legal aspects without unnecessary jargon. Her attention to detail and proactive communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
What impressed me the most was their dedication to achieving the best outcome for me. They were always available to answer questions and provided timely updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend EMG Solicitors

Very very upset with emg solicitors. Used them to help with a problem. Bleed my son dry with bills that were unexpected overpriced and never explained.Hidden minimum phone call times 6 min increments charging him for calls from the person we were in dispute with and seemly chatting to them for longer than any of his calls to them .Charging for e mails and separate charge for attachments to said e mail. BEWARE of the hidden costs and poor advice
