Review Summary

Clients frequently praise Julia Dockerill and Fleur McDonald for their patient, clear communication and thorough explanations, especially during first-home purchases. Many describe the team as responsive, knowledgeable, and stress-reducing. However, a minority report serious frustrations with unanswered emails, unreturned calls, and unprofessional administration, particularly from Julia, though Stacey Smit is noted for being fantastic when she took over. The negative reviews cite delayed communications and being ignored when seeking resolution from Fleur.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Julia and Stacey from FM legal as we navigated the process of buying our first home, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. They took the time to explain each step of the process, addressing our numerous questions with patience and clarity.Thank you for your hardwork and making our first home purchase a positive experience! Ashin and Harsha

Had a great experience with Julia and Fleur just last month! They were super responsive and made everything feel smooth and straightforward. They really helped take the stress out of the process. I’d definitely recommend their services!

Sadly we’ve had the same experience as Jo Gillies: Unanswered emails, unreturned phone calls, delayed communications, unprofessional administration, and simple ineptitude. I will be happy to edit this review should Fleur and her team be able to do their job and stop charging for work they simply don’t do.

Sadly our experience with Julia was stressful and deflating. Our emails went unanswered and phone calls were not returned. We were eventually passed on to Stacey at the end of our journey who was fantastic but sadly it was too late. I tried to reach out to Fleur to voice our concerns but was ignored there too. Really disappointing especially as first home buyers.
