Listing is free and will stay free. TorahGuard takes no commission, books nothing and handles no payment: you write to the sofer, that is all.
Training and background are declared by the sofer. TorahGuard does not verify them and certifies no one. Ask for references as you would with any craftsman — a badly written Torah scroll is passul, and it does not show at first glance.

Compiled listingLondon
Mordechai Pinchas, also known as Marc Michaels, is a sofer STaM based in London, UK. His site states that he repairs and writes STaM and runs study sessions for communities in the UK and further afield. He writes that while he works with both orthodox and progressive communities, he conducts his business as a scribe following orthodox halacha as defined mostly by the Keset Hasofer and the Mishna B'rurah. He invites enquiries about buying a megillah, mezuzot or a ketubah, and about repairs to a megillah or sefer torah for synagogues. He also states he was awarded a PhD at Cambridge in Jewish manuscripts.
