"Tom Evans was recommended by our litigation lawyer at a challenging time. As trustees of a complex Will, we found Tom approachable, considered and knowledgeable. He explained matters of trust structures for asset protection and tax mitigation in a manner that was easy to understand. Tom gave clear and practical advice, and was then efficient and also honest about costs throughout the process. We would definitely recommend the services of mfg and Tom Evans." 

"Wills, Trusts and Probate. Whilst dealing with my late husband's probate, Co-op Legal Services recommended mfg Solicitors and I was contacted by Robert Weston who explained very clearly the procedure, his fees etc. before a schedule was drawn up and signed prior to commencing this legal work. Robert's calm, sympathetic and professional manner put me at ease straight away and I felt he was very approachable if I was unclear about anything. Thomas Evans was also very helpful, knowledgeable and approachable in dealing with the Family Trust and Taxation and dealt with this work in a very professional manner. I would also like to thank the secretaries Pam Davies and Becky Shepherd for their continuous support during this difficult time. Finally, I would be very happy to recommend both Robert Weston and Thomas Evans for their services. Thank you Robert and Tom."
