Lack of communication

I had a solicitor I had to chase a number of times with no response to emails, I eventually called to find out what was happening at which point a lovely solicitor called Lauren picked up my case, she was fantastic and corrected and updated lots of information that wasn’t captured initially. Unfortunately I can only score this review on the solicitor that’s pre populated in this for and was the initial solicitor. Lauren redeemed my faith in this firm as months of waiting with also no response or update left me feeling frustrated. Lauren Pearson isn’t in the list for me to recognise as a fantastic solicitor with great communication skills and human, well done Lauren.
Unfortunately as this is based on the solicitor I was initially given I’ve scored 1

Family feud with an ungrateful and undeserving sister-in-law

Natalie has been fabulous throughout. Always giving us sound advice and allowing us to sound off in the process. Never one to mix words, advice was direct and purposeful and ultimately helped us resolve an issue that had been simmering within the family for years.

Shannon Skilling - Top conveyance lawyer

Shannon was the ultimate professional , keeping us informed about all the important stuff we needed to make decisions about, and being very clear about the less important stuff. Her ability to work to tight timescales was excellent and her ability to push back with our sellers solicitor when necessary was impressive. Couldn’t fault her from start to finish , highly recommended.

Excellent and Compassionate Service

Sarah-Lyn Strong worked tirelessly to support me in a disputed capacity case both before and during a Court of Protection hearing. Sarah-Lyn at all times demonstrated a caring and sensitive attitude that helped me to feel that someone was in my side during a very difficult legal process.
I had confudence that with Sarah-Lyn's support and that if the barristers she instructed we would eventually win my case, which we did! It was complex and brutal but I survived it in no small part because of the legal support I received. But it was not just the excellent legal advice and representation that was invaluable. Primarily I would recommend Sarah-Lyn to anyone seeking a solicitor who needs representation from someone capable of managing with compassion, a client with severe mental health issues.

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.

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!

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.
