"David Raymont, Andy Ward and Rachel Raybould-Dear helped me renew a Commercial Lease of a Property. They provided an excellent service, attention to detail and I thank them for their wise counsel. Would recommend their service highly to all."
"Excellent and prompt service. We were kept well informed of progress and of the actual procedures and their purpose."
"As always, Rachel and the team at mfg completed our requirements with speed and efficiency. Rachel was informative and quick to answer any queries we had. We've worked with mfg for assistance in a number of legal tasks over the years; home purchases, sales and also letting contracts, we wouldn't go anywhere else for our legal needs."
"First CIass service. I needed a new lease to be prepared for my commercial property and it was urgent owing to a licence that also had to be transferred. I contacted mfg on a Monday morning and gave instructions. I was given a maximum price for the preparation of the document. The draft lease was emailed to me the following afternoon! It was agreed and I attended the offices where the document was signed and witnessed. I received the invoice for the work on Friday and it was nearly 50% cheaper than the price I was given. I will definitely use the services of mfg again."
"This was a difficult case and did not go to completion so the business is back up for sale. Rachel and Matthew were very professional and informative throughout but I communicated more with Rachel throughout this process. She was and still continues to be an amazing support, extremely efficient, approachable and very calming in what was a very challenging and stressful time. She is a credit to your firm and I would definitely recommend her to others."
"Very friendly and professional, they dealt with the most simple questions with a smile."
