Report
Thoroughly effective and professional service in advising about a property purchase. Preparation of Will was equally effective and competitively priced. I was also impressed with the ease in which solicitor (David) could be contacted and his efficiency in expediting matters. It is likely we will be using MG to do legal work on a house sell/buy and I will update this review whenever that happens.
