Absolutely recommend dealing with Emma Donaldson as your solicitor. We have tried a fair few others in the past but Emma is hands down the best we have ever experienced. She is great with communication, very knowledgeable and so lovely to deal with. Had a fabulous stress free experience purchasing our home.

I am so thrilled to leave a 5 star review after having received the most genuinely wonderful service from Jordan Figota. He's an absolute asset to the firm & we will be recommending him to anyone we know who is needing legal services. Thank you Jordan.

Professional friendly and seamless. Nathan and team have always been great to deal with, always providing amazing friendly service and advice. They have helped with property purchase & sales as well as helping with our wills when our children came along, not to mention all the small pieces of advice along the way. Thanks Again.

Thank you Nathan for your care, personalisation and attention to detail. The professional service you provided us with, transitioning our business, purchasing and selling property and organising our trust was impeccable. My husband and I extremely grateful for you and your team ensuring these processes were seamless and stress free. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.

I can't comment on the legal services themselves, as I didn’t make it past the onboarding stage. My initial contact with Jordan was excellent — clear, prompt, and professional. However, once I was passed on to another lawyer, communication unfortunately fell away. I had to follow up multiple times with little response or clarity on next steps, which ultimately led me to engage a different firm. If you’re a potential new client, I hope your experience is smoother — but if responsiveness and clear communication are important to you, it may be worth considering other options. **Edit — to clarify/respond:** My issue is less about timeliness and more about communication. For me personally, when engaging with legal services, my expectation is clear communication—especially regarding next steps and setting expectations/timelines. A simple message like, “Please fill out ‘X’ and submit it; it will take approximately X days to process, and we’ll contact you when it’s done,” would have gone a long way. I absolutely understand and respect that there is a rigorous onboarding process. However, during this process, I often felt uncertain about what should or would happen next and how long things might take. In this regard, my experience was quite different any every other onboarding service (legal or otherwise) that I’ve dealt with in the past, including internal interactions between two lawyers.
