Review Summary

Clients consistently praise Thomson Wilson Law for exceptional legal representation and supportive client service, with many reviews highlighting specific lawyers like Maraea Atmore, Daniel Grimes, and Matthew Ridgley for their professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to achieve favorable outcomes in property and family law matters. However, one review raises serious concerns about excessive billing, slow service, and poor communication, particularly regarding transparency around fees and delays. Overall, the firm is highly recommended for property transactions and complex family disputes, though potential clients should be wary of possible billing issues.

My experience with Maraea Atmore at Thomson Wilson Law during a recent property purchase was fantastic. Maraea and her team were always friendly, professional, and quick to respond to my questions, which made the whole process feel much less stressful. Her clear, practical advice helped me understand my options and feel confident I was making the right decisions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Maraea and the team at Thomson Wilson to anyone needing help with property matters.

I couldn’t recommend Daniel Grimes more! My husband found himself in a really tough situation and thought he might never be able to see his kids again. After 2.5 years, Daniel helped us achieve an incredible outcome — one of the children is now back in our full-time care. The result was far better than we ever expected. It wasn’t cheap, but you truly get what you pay for. Daniel and his assistant were always quick to respond and guided us through one of the most difficult times in our lives. We’re so grateful for their support along the way.

Best Law firm in town. I have used their services all my life. I have much respect for Arthur Fairley who represented a case in the 80's for which I am grateful and I went to school with his son. Very lovely people. Thompson Wilson have directed me on a number of property matters and personal matters and have always made sure that my interests were protected. I have had a very successful relationship with them to date and I highly commend them. Recently I have had the pleasure of dealing with more of their wonderful associates and found them very supportive. I would like to make a special mention to Daniel Grimes at this time and thank him for his professionalism, kindness, a great lawyer and human being. 100% A +++! Keep up the great work everyone!

Mathew Ridgley is a lawyer with this law firm. Mathew you are a quiet professional, and a man of a calm, tactical, precise approach . Mathew Ridgley is a top lawyer, while my trial was on, many people would comment and say how good he was and ask how I managed to get him as my lawyer . Mathew I can't thank you enough for your effort and time, you are amazing to watch and listen too in court, Id highly recommend you . It is clear Mathew is respected by court staff, and shares a great relationship with everyone in the court room . You can trust Mathew . To Mathew and his team, thankyou for walking me to and from -and thankyou for helping me achieve the right outcome . I'll never forget your hard work Legend . Jake

Will remorselessly excessively charge you for a VERY delayed, average service. No consideration for your financial situation, no communication or transparency around delays to respond, nor charged fees. It's sad not to be able to trust your own lawyers having your best interest when you are in a vulnerable position. Do not recommend.
