At a very difficult time Ms Edgar was very kind and professional in her approach. She supported us through, to the layman, complex legal processes in a way that was very clear and honest while retaining a personal touch which helped our family enormously during the process
Throughout the process, Nicola’s advice was clear and helpful, and I had every confidence in her professionalism. Her kind, compassionate approach was much appreciated, particularly when we were experiencing such a terrible time as a family. This helped us reach a good conclusion. Thank you
I was initially unsure of the process however this was explained comprehensively when we met with Nicola and Counsel. I personally found the face to face meetings extremely beneficial which aided me understanding the factors involved in a subject which I find difficult to talk about. My thanks to Nicola and the team for keeping me updated and for the advice which has finally brought this matter to a close.
It has been a pleasure to deal with Nicola and the team at MFMac who have helped and supported my family through a very tragic and traumatic experience. Nicola and the team have been very thorough with their work and investigations which resulted in us recovering a large sum in damages which will provide my family with security which is amazing and the outcome we had hoped for. Nicola and the team have been very supportive and compassionate throughout this journey which was ongoing for three years. I couldn’t have achieved this result without them and I am very grateful for all their hard work and efforts during this time. I would highly recommend MFMac.
Nicola dealt with our case sensitively and with the highest degree of professionalism. Everything was explained to us clearly and we very much felt like matters were in safe hands. We felt we could trust Nicola and she truly went above and beyond to keep us informed and updated.
I have been happy with the whole process and the outcome. Nicola was great to deal with in particular and I appreciated her very personal and flexible approach throughout. Hopefully I never have another accident but I know where to come if I do!
The firm has an excellent reputation which is well deserved. Their client relations are a particular strength.

Nicola went out of her way to visit me at home for our first meeting and from this a good relationship was built. Her diligence in pulling all the reports together that was required as well as advising me on what possible additional medical help that I may need in the form of physiotherapy has helped my mobility tremendously. Nicola always responded promptly to any questions I had with sound information and advice. Due to her expert knowledge she assisted me with my insurance company to ensure that I was covered for all fees going forwarded. I am grateful for all the help and advice received, which was always given with my best interests first.
