I super recommend Shaun McGivern and the Haigh Lyon team if you need a quick service. I needed a 1-page document notarised, and I got it done in under 5 minutes. He was very professional, knowledgeable and straight to the point. The receptionist was also very professional and friendly. I was offered a drink, and their office in town is absolutely gorgeous. So far, a great experience, and highly recommended.

I can recommend Shaun McGivern and the Haigh Lyon conveyancing team both personally and professionally. As a Real Estate Agent a large part of my services are involved with legal teams for purchasers and vendors. Their skill, communication and attention to detail that I have encountered have been outstanding. Aside from this, they are also welcoming, friendly and compassionate. Shaun and the team have also been involved in client evenings that we hold for first home buyers through to investors and he has a wealth of knowledge.

I have used Haigh Lyon multiple times now and happy with the services that are received. In my latest care of child battle, Karen Martin was my lawyer. Her expertise and drive to get results, helped me obtain 50 50 of my son. I would highly recommend to anyone faced with the challenges that are the family court, to get in touch with Karen if results are what you are after.

Huge thanks to Jake and Rachel for representing us in securing our first home! They were very helpful, quick to answer any questions we had and kept us informed throughout the process. Would highly recommend Haigh Lyon and would definitely use again in the future.

My experience with Haigh Lyon has been very disappointing. This is the second lawyer I’ve had with them, and I’m always the one who has to follow up — otherwise, nothing gets done. When they finally act, the work is minimal and lacks attention. I often feel like they’re not really on my side. Their billing is expensive and definitely not worth the money. Although it’s too late for me to change lawyers because I’m close to the end of the process, I strongly advise others to stay away from Haigh Lyon. They seem more interested in charging fees than providing proper service. While they may be competent, they are extremely slow and clearly overloaded with too many cases. RUN AWAY! It doesn’t worth the money, specially if you are an individual and not for a business.
