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

I recently appointed Jackie O'Sullivan to oversee my house sale, mainly due to previous reviews and my proximity to the offices. Jackie is extremely thorough and professional and always picked up the 'phone to me as and when any issue arose. It may be cheaper to appoint a remote conveyancer but in my view, the personal approach is worth every penny. My grateful thanks to Jackie and her support team for all their assistance.

Jackie assisted us throughout our conveyancing journey, which was certainly not straightforward. Whilst the sale of our own house was relatively smooth, purchasing a new property presented numerous challenges due to various legal complexities, resulting in us having to withdraw from a couple of potential purchases. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Jackie, and she always did her utmost to get to the root of any issue. She was incredibly generous with her time, patient throughout the entire process, and consistently supportive during what was quite a stressful period. I would recommend Jackie in a heartbeat and am already using her again for the sale of my late mother’s property.
