Beth advised me during a very tough time in my life. She was extremely understanding and knowledgeable about the law. She was very honest about possible outcomes and reassuring throughout. Highly recommended.

We met with Hamza to update our Wills. He listened to our concerns and what we wanted to achieve. We had to make certain decisions and he contacted us later regarding these. He then incorporated these into the Wills and we met again to sign. He was very happy to explain anything we did not understand or were unsure of.

Both Rebeccas and Jessica have been brilliant whilst assisting us purchasing our first home. We have been kept in the loop and anything we needed explaining or questioned was answered quickly. All three are very professional and would look to use in the future :)

Melissa and AFG Law have been absolutely wonderful. As first time buyers, the whole process was unknown and confusing but Melissa took the time to explain everything, answer any questions we had, and advised us when we were unsure as to how to process. She also kept us updated throughout the entire process. We never had to chase her for any information, which was a massive stress relief for us.
Would absolutely recommend AFG Law and Melissa.

I would highly recommend Anita Boardman and Hamza Akhtar in dealing with both Probate matters and house sale. I first came into contact with Anita as my Mum had chosen AFG Law to do her Will and when she unfortunately passed away, I made contact with them. Anita was extremely empathetic, giving me clear and concise insight into the Probate process which was dealt with to a highly professional standard. AFG Law also dealt with the Probate house sale. Through no fault of their own it was quite a lengthy process but Hamza kept in regular contact with me mostly by email and telephone as I don't live in Bolton. I was alerted immediately when problems arose and this was discussed in a professional manner. Both Anita and Hamza explained the options fully and made me aware of any potential extra costs which were agreed before proceeding. When I had to attend for signature of documents, again this was explained fully and clearly with the opportunity to ask any questions I had.
I would definitely recommend AFG Law. Mum had chosen them previously and she definitely chose right! I can't thank Anita and Hamza enough (and everyone working in the background). They made this emotional process easy.

Just completed on a house with Rebecca Mannion and team. We had a very short mortgage offer and had been let down by previous conveyancer so were feeling the stress! From the very first phone call, AFG were professional, prompt and polite. They offered regular and timely updates and responded to all communication swiftly. Transaction was smooth and we completed with time to spare. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much to Melissa Hart and all at AFG who made the process of our first home purchase go smoothly and efficiently.
