My husband and I recently used Jade to write our wills, and we could not be happier with the service. Making a will can feel overwhelming, but Jade made the whole process simple and stress-free. She explained everything in clear, everyday terms and ensured we understood all of our options. She was always incredibly quick to respond to any queries we had, keeping us informed from start to finish. We felt completely supported throughout the process and we can highly recommend her services! Thank you

Jade was enormously helpful from the beginning of organising our wills and completing our LPAs to give us peace of mind. Jade was always happy to explain and help with any issues. I would highly recommend Jade and Max Engel solicitors.

I have used Max Engel Solicitors for a range of employment, property and commercial matters and have been consistently impressed by the quality of their advice and service. The whole team takes a flexible, pragmatic and commercially aware approach, focusing on practical solutions while remaining thorough and responsive throughout. Helen and Chloe, in particular, have been exceptionally diligent, approachable and supportive, explaining complex issues clearly and providing calm, considered advice when it has mattered most. Their professionalism, expertise and genuine commitment to their clients are evident in everything they do. I would have no hesitation in recommending Max Engel Solicitors and will certainly use them again in the future.

During my recent visits to Max Engel I have found Rebecca to be someone who is both approachable and supportive whilst demonstrating sheer professionalism and reassurance with her warm and easy going nature. As such, I have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca to any potential future client.

My mother died early this year and I needed a solicitor to obtain probate on my behalf. My son recently moved house and recommended Max Engel to me as they did his conveyancing for him. I made an appointment and explained my position to Jade and she put things in motion for me. I had issues with another firm of solicitor’s and life insurance company but she sorted this out on my behalf. The application for probate was submitted and granted within 2 weeks. Thank you Jade for helping me through this. Keith

My father and I have recently been working with Jade, to arrange for his Power of Attorney (Health and Welfare). She has been so helpful and professional throughout, taking time to visit Dad at his care home to talk things through. Jade made everything so easy to understand and negotiate, treating Dad with great respect, warmth and empathy. I would not hesitate to recommend Jade to anyone, she is a credit to Max Engel and Co.

The service I got from kaisa @ Max Engel who was able to fit me in at very short notice was commendable and then the advice she provided to enable me to get my “probate” application thru was spot on . I would use Max Engel again.

On my first appointment at Max Engle I met with Jade Atkins, I felt comfortable that she would guide me and my late brother through the process of probate, the process turned out to be longer than I thought, no fault with the way Jade looked after my interests at all times. When ever I had a query Jade always promptly got back to me with answers, sometimes it included contacting third parties regarding my father estate. I highly recommend Max Engle to anyone who needs reliable advice and guidance in particular Jade who worked 100% in my interest during the probate process. Thanks for your help Jade x
