Don't take our word for it

Have used Machins many times, more so for family issues and house conveyancing, unfortunately I had the need to use them for a recent potential employment related issue. Both Philip Bain & David Rushmere were absolutely fantastic. They offered good sound practical advise and guided me calmly through a situation that could have quite easily escalated. I highly recommend them both and can only thank them both for their recent endeavors.

The team were really approachable, responsive, and had compassion and empathy. The whole process was straightforward and user friendly and I think the personal touch they provided would have been lacking from a larger firm

The team is always responsive, fully understand our business needs and ensure they explain options and risks fully but simply.
Machins has a broad breadth of capabilities due to its many knowledgeable and experienced staff. The way they conduct their business, (professional, polite, timely, etc.), the responsiveness, and the ability to communicate in plain English provides a unique experience in my view.
The employment team at Machins Solicitors is an exceptional team and a credit to the practice. The service was efficient right from first contact, appointments were made in a timely way and the support staff understood the urgency.

Faith Widdowson has always given excellent advice and support, very practical. David Rushmere has also been very helpful with employment law queries. Both solicitors show their knowledge and expertise in employment law and more importantly, the implementation of it.

Contacted Machins due to an Employment Law issue and can honestly say they were brilliant throughout! Made the process simple and showed genuine empathy for my situation. Dealt with Ramiya, Grace and Philip and have full faith in all of them, in the event I ever need assistance in future.

Job Hunting and Cancer

It can’t be put off any longer. Applying for a new job is a job in itself: updating the CV, filling out the application form, then the dreaded interview questions. If you have cancer you may be putting it off because you don’t know “what to say?” or “what you should say?” or “what you
