Thank you David, we will always be grateful."

"From the moment I asked mfg for help with my case they were so lovely. From the first phone call to the last all member of staff were so kind and helpful .

"David was professional and thorough with my motorbike injury claim. He kept me informed and instructed me on how to gather evidence and proof of injury. It was a long process and very difficult at times due to that. However he remained constant and got a satisfying conclusion."

"David Lydon was very supportive and helpful, sharing bad and good news with me and enabled me to address my health concerns during the time he represented me. He was a fantastic solicitor."

"Throughout this sensitive and emotional case David Lydon and the team at mfg were impeccable. David was not only knowledgeable, tenacious and persistent with our claim but importantly he was empathetic, understanding and sensitive. David showed great emotional intelligence and whilst the claim itself was never going to be high value in monetary terms, he fully appreciated the family motivation in pursuing this case. David was a proficient and expert Legal Adviser converting complex into simple for us, but moreover he was human and understood the importance to us of this action. Cannot recommend enough!"
