Outstanding service from Leona Ho
We have used Leona several times over the years for conveyancing and to draw up contracts.
When we first met her several years ago, she was a trainee whose talent, work ethic and attention to detail was remarkable.
We recently had a house to sell so we tracked Leona down to secure her amazing services for conveyancing. As always, she did not disappoint and the process was smooth and efficient.
Leona is a very impressive legal professional but aside from her tremendous skill and knowledge, it's her warm personality and friendly manner that makes her such a pleasure to work with. We are not surprised that she recently won 'Lawyer of the Year' - very well deserved in our view.

First Class Service
As a long-standing firm client, the service I received from Graeme Fraser and his assistant was genuinely first-class. I felt reassured with regular updates and 100% professional service, and I always felt Graeme and his assistant had my corner and always acted in the client's best interest. Well done, and look forward to a long-standing business relationship together.
