10 star service

I chose Clifford Johnston & Co Limited as I saw great reviews about the firm. I was represented by Lina who was extremely professional but also shared that she genuinely cared. Within less than 30 minutes Lina was able to provide me with a fantastic outcome and even after provided helpful advice going ahead. Would definitely recommend this firm.

Legal investigation

I had the privilege of being represented by Jared McNally during a recent legal investigation, and I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. From our initial instruction, Jared’s communication was exceptional. He explained complex legal principles clearly, promptly, and in a way that was entirely straightforward to digest. His approach was proactive and disciplined, setting out expectations from the start while delivering outstanding value for money. Navigating a police investigation is an inherently challenging and uncertain experience, but Jared’s advice provided immense reassurance throughout. Knowing the matter was being handled by a true specialist allowed me to step back, regain focus, and concentrate on what mattered most—my family and my work—confident that my interests were fully protected and that I was being kept properly informed. Ultimately, the investigation concluded with no further action and without charge. Having Jared’s strategic counsel prior to any charging decision was invaluable, and I would unreservedly recommend him to anyone requiring expert legal representation during a pre-charge investigation.

Exceptional representation from start to finish

I cannot thank Jared enough for everything he has done for my family over the last three years. From the moment we first spoke to him, we knew we had made the right decision. During one of the most difficult and uncertain periods of our lives, he was not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but genuinely kind and compassionate. It was always clear that he truly cared about my dad and our family. No matter how many questions we had, Jared always took the time to answer them with patience and honesty. He never made us feel like a burden and always made us feel heard. In a situation where it was so easy to feel powerless, he gave us confidence, reassurance and the strength to keep going. I will always be grateful for everything Jared did for my dad and our family. I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough. I sincerely hope we never find ourselves in this situation again, but if we did, I would choose Jared again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Jared.

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

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.

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

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on. He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor

David Oldham at Clifford Johnston has assisted me with the last 3 house purchases and sales. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He was always up to date on what was happening and very reassuring.

We recently sold our flat and bought a house, and used Clifford as our solicitors. We had a really positive experience throughout. Our soliciotr, David, was incredibly responsive and probably the fastest person we’ve ever dealt with when it came to replying to emails! Our sale dragged on for quite a while, and at times it was really important to get through enquiries quickly. David managed to work through a huge number of enquiries in no time at all, which made a stressful process much easier. We’d definitely recommend Clifford / David to anyone looking for reliable and responsive conveyancing.

David was extremely efficient, dealing with my two sales & a purchase. Emails & phone calls were replied to/ followed up mostly the same day. Every communication was easy to understand and the content explained if necessary. I have another property I will be selling soon, hopefully & will definitely ask David to do the conveyancing for me.
