Testimonials

I just want to thank you and the whole team at Machins for your tireless efforts with my case. Your support and advice have been so helpful and I genuinely don’t know how I would have got to this stage alone. It has genuinely meant the absolute world to me to see my baby girl again and especially before Christmas
I would like to say a huge thank you to you. You showed such care & compassion whilst being very professional too. I felt very comfortable talking to you despite some of it being very personal and difficult to discuss. I would definitely recommend you.
Everything was excellent and I couldn't have asked for better support.
I wanted to say what an absolute pleasure Joe is. He has taken such good care of me and I so appreciate his professionalism, knowledge and advice.
Joe is an absolute star
