Professional conveyancing service

I have used Callum at EMG for several property transactions over the last 5 years and have always found the service to be incredibly efficient and professional. Brilliantly assisted by Vicki and Janet, I would not hesitate in recommending their service.

Superb family lawyer

Divorce is a pretty miserable experience but Gemma handled the financial aspect very effectively. She respected my desire to keep costs to a minimum and offered excellent advice when it mattered most. I’d highly recommend her services to anyone.

Chid contact advice with Gemma

Gemma was brilliant from start to finish.

She's sufficiently patient, understanding and empathetic... but also has the no-nonsense and straight talking approach that I really needed. In terms of giving advice and support, she was very clear and helped me to formulate a plan to move forward that I'd never have been able to identify myself.

I'm hoping things in my case can settle out of Court, but if not, Ill be very reassured to have Gemma in my corner!

Thank you to all in the Team

I just want to extend my thanks and utter admiration for Gemma and her team. From day one Gemma was supportive and understanding in dealing with my situation and helped in all aspects of my case. During my divorce I have felt informed and guided every step of the way. I was given clear information on the next step and was fully informed on what we were doing and what to expect. I now feel like the next chapter of my life can begin and that is a secure and stable chapter thanks to Gemma and her team.

Bavneet, Ashley and Lauren were fantastic on our sale/purchase. Showed great patience with us through what turned out to be a difficult process! Hugely appreciative of them for getting us there in the end. Can’t recommend EMG enough.

Honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to handle my case. It wasn’t the quickest of divorces but by no means the fault of Gemma, she was on the ball completely throughout and offered support and advice promptly.

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
