My wife & I needed to have new wills drawn up. The company was very professional in all respects & Nathan was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, most helpful & gave us very good advice. No matter how trivial or significant the question he always gave us good guidance.

Divorce Pension Split

I found Sue and her PA Helen to be incredibly efficient and supportive during a pension split process. They provided an equal balance of professionalism and empathy during what has been an incredibly drawn out process across the UK and Australia. It’s a 10/10 from me to Sue and her team.

Timely and helpful

Writing a will is something I have done several times over the past decades. The language in the draft was not easy to understand so it was good to have a face to face meeting which explained it all. Thanks

Guidance and updates...

Nothing's ever simple when it comes to legal activities but EMG provided options to keep costs to a minimum. They gave me the confidence to choose options appropriate to my circumstances and that it wasn't just about the money. My experience was straight forward and really handy having local EMG offices. The front-office staff were great and supportive every time I arrived with yet another query. Would definitely recommend EMG.

I’ve been a very satisfied Customer of the Commercial and Will departments of EMG.
I needed conveyancing for a house sale and the experience was shocking. No reply to the Estate Agent, buyers Solicitor or any contact with myself, in over a month. No work was commenced and my deposit returned. To be avoided.

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!
