Better than expected outcome

Dear Erik, Matt, and Linda, ​I am writing to formally express my deepest appreciation for the exceptional level of service and professional dedication you demonstrated while handling my recent legal matter. ​Having had the opportunity to reflect on the resolution of my case, I am acutely aware that the outcome—which I consider to be more than fair—was made possible only through your collective expertise and strategic guidance. Navigating such a demanding and sensitive situation was naturally daunting, yet your combined efforts provided me with a sense of clarity and reassurance that was invaluable throughout the entire process. ​I am particularly grateful for the diligence and care with which you approached every aspect of my case. Your ability to distill complex legal challenges into manageable, clear objectives is a testament to your professional excellence. Please know that your support has been pivotal, and I am sincerely relieved to have reached such a constructive conclusion that now allows me to move forward with confidence. ​Thank you once again for your commitment, your balanced counsel, and the composure with which you managed this entire engagement. It has been a privilege to be represented by such a capable team. ​Yours sincerely, Rick

First Class Service

My experience of working with Erik and Lina was first class. From start to finish of working together they made me comfortable and had my wellbeing in mind always in what were some very difficult moments personally at times. I'd also like to thank them for getting an amazing barrister also. I would highly recommend Clifford Johnstone & Co everytime. Amazing people.

J Mcnally review

I came to Clifford Johnston & co literally at the lowest point of my life. I was accused falsely of historical crimes. I was looking for pre charge representation and was looking for the right solicitor. I saw the solicitor whom I eventually chose due to the reviews he already had, that being jared mcnally. I found Jared to be nothing but caring, knowledgeable and on your level. He gets back to you at the soonest opportunity and tells you how it is. I honestly hope that I never need these services again but if I did I would definitely go to Clifford Johnston and Jared again. Thank you to all the team.

Thank you so much for courageously sharing such a deeply personal and heartfelt review, Paul. Being falsely accused of historical crimes is an unimaginably harrowing experience, and to seek help when you are at the absolute lowest point of your life takes immense strength. We are profoundly grateful that you found the right lifeline in Jared and our team. We sincerely echo your hope that you will never need our services again, but please know how much it means to Jared and the entire team at Clifford Johnston & Co to have earned your complete trust. We wish you nothing but peace, healing, and the very best as you move forward.

Best in the business

I cannot thank Robert enough for the outstanding support and representation I received. From the very beginning, he acted quickly through early intervention when I was faced with false allegations. His professionalism, expertise, and reassurance throughout a very stressful situation gave me confidence that I was in the best possible hands. He carefully listened to my concerns/evidence, provided clear advice at every stage, and worked diligently to ensure the facts were properly presented. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, the allegations were thoroughly addressed and ultimately everything was dropped. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you again for all your help.

Jared McNally at Cliffford Johnston & Co really understood and built up my case well. He and his team have a great package for regulatory cases which in my case included early access to a Barrister. Jared and the team took great care in presenting my case and came up with some great points from their detailed review of the evidence. I was really proud of the submissions they put forward on my behalf and they put the evidence I already had in a really persuasive way. The result was an overwhelmingly successful outcome, which has been a huge weight off my mind. I am already using Clifford Johnston again and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

As soon as I knew I was involved in a criminal court case, I contacted Clifford Johnston, my main point of contact being Lina (along with Erik). From the start, they were extremely professional. All communications were very clear and efficient; I was constantly updated, and they responded quickly to my queries. And finally, their efforts resulted in me being very happy with the outcome. I unreservedly recommend this firm.

Clifford Johnston & Co Limited

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Annie. We’re pleased to hear that Lina and Erik provided clear communication, timely support, and a professional service throughout your case. It’s wonderful to know their efforts led to a positive outcome for you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.

Jared gave excellent, matter of fact and highly knowledgeable advice. He was great for the gathering of documents and statements. He pulled it all together into a professional, concise and laser-focused document that got exactly the result we needed. Costs were completely transparent from the start, which was reassuring, and a set figure meant I didn't need to worry about sending a follow up email. Jared replied at all times too, meaning I didn't have long waits to get help or answers (take a holiday, Jared!). I can't recommend Jared and by extension Clifford Johnston enough. Reassuring, friendly and professional.

Clifford Johnston & Co Limited

Dear Rick, Thank you for your detailed and generous feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that Jared provided knowledgeable, professional, and efficient support throughout your matter. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to both Jared and the team at Clifford Johnston. Best regards, Clifford Johnston & Co. Solicitors

Friendly, efficient service

A change in life circumstances had prompted us to review and rewrite our wills, at fairly short notice. Shane was not only accommodating and made time for us, his friendly, down to earth approach made our conversation relaxed and straightforward. We discussed what our wishes were and Shane guided us in how we might do this simply without complicated language or clauses. I would certainly recommend working with Shane.

Enquired about a case 2.5 weeks ago, had to chase back 3 times until finally on the third time I received a call back by the trainee solicitor who mentioned money as the first thing to throw me off like it was an issue and basically explained how we don't take driving cases but however previously they have tried to take on my driving case. More important the tone/ mannerism of the short phone call I had was in a way that they didn't want to engage with me and can't wait to get on with their day.
