I have recently worked with Guvvy & Rob on a sell side transaction. I couldn't recommend them enough. There was a high level of support throughout the transaction, and they provided invaluable advice, from instruction through to completion, resulting in a successful sale.

I want to say a big thank you for standing by me through the whole separation process from my husband. I was 69 years old when I chose to leave a 47 year old dysfunctional marriage. The decision to leave, or it was in reality my husband who threw me out, was a cold Friday in February. I had had poor sleep for weeks and nowhere really to go. I knew my husband would regret asking me to leave and would never believe that I would actually take him at his word. One question I had was, that if I was the one to leave would that act against me in divorce proceedings? I was recommended by a friend to

Natalie sorted out my Will I cannot recommend her highly enough she is like an encyclopaedia when it comes to her knowledge on Wills. I didnt know much about Wills but knew that it was really important for my children to be protected and looked after if anything happened to me. She went through all of the options available and consequences in order to Advice me on the best options for my family. I changed my mind a few times going backwards and forwards she was really patient throughout. I now have total peace of mind in knowing that my children will be looked after if something terrible happens

I have work with Skylar in order to get Global Talent Visa. I had been worried whether I could get it or not. I had been told that Global Talent Visa is tricky and hard to get. And I happened to get in touch with Mackrell. Skylar was the one who works for me. Considering money and time I had to spend, I was not sure I made the right choice. But watching the why Skylar works, all of sudden I had no doubt about what I was doing. And I at last got the visa I was craving for. Skylar has worked so hard for me. I dont think she knows how much grateful I am to her. I truly appreciate her help. Thanks

I will be going to the Legal Ombudsman after the service i have received here, incredibly unethical law firm that manipulates the way they treat their clients. I wish i could go into further detail in regards to this organisation and their false actions within of the court system. Would give 0 stars if i could.
