Northampton Law Firm

Why choose Max Engel?

In 1949 Max Engel established his solicitor’s practice in Northampton.

He rapidly achieved a remarkable local reputation: he was indomitable; he was skilful; he had an exceptional understanding of the law; he had total integrity. No-one worked harder for their clients.

Based on my initial phone enquiry and the direct support I received from Oren Wheeler in handling my matter, I would highly recommend Max Engel Solicitors.

Conveyancing doesn't generally have the best reputation for communication or speed. However, Kira has proven that the opposite can be very much true. She communicated speedily, kept us updated throughout our sale and made everything crystal clear. Thankyou!

Chloe and Tiana dealt with our Adverse Possession claim expertly and professionally. The claim was expedited as it affected a property sale but even so we were expecting the process to take at least 6 months. We were delighted when we received the new title registration exactly 2 months from the date on which we engaged Max Engel. Communication throughout the process was excellent and we can't recommend them highly enough.

At a time when all you hear about how frustrating and useless solicitors are Jackie from Max Engel was wonderful. Diligent, on the ball, timely, reassuring and always cheerful. I never felt that I was being a bother when contacting them and always received prompt replies. Highly recommended.

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.
