I was looking for a law firm/company who could provide prompt and cost effective legal support to our group for international legal matters. I found the service provided highly professional, transparent and highly efficient. I particularly appreciated how speedily Ms Jui Dongare dealt with everything including post communication to resolve all the query. I will highly recommend MGB for professional legal assistance at a very reasonable cost.

Our experience in working with Jui to prepare an appeal for penalties assessed by the authorities was overall very positive. As the filing deadline was approaching, she promptly handled our matter and brought her vast expertise in dealing with the authorities with these kinds of situations. I appreciated the collaborative approach in gathering the information and compiling the final submission and I feel this was key to the successful outcome we achieved with the appeal decision. I would highly recommend Jui and MBG to others and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
