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

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.

Exceptional Representation and Support

I instructed Robert in relation to a motoring matter and could not have been more impressed with the service I received. Throughout the process, Robert was professional, knowledgeable and reassuring. He explained everything clearly, kept me fully informed and took the time to understand my circumstances. His preparation and representation at court were exceptional, and I genuinely felt that I was in the best possible hands throughout. I am extremely grateful for his support and would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation.

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.

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.

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

Spouse visa.

I cannot recommend Naila Kosar highly enough. She was absolutely exceptional throughout the entire application process. In the week leading up to submitting my application, Naila was on Zoom with me almost every single day, patiently going through every part of the application in detail. She carefully reviewed my statements, checked all the supporting documents, and made sure everything was accurate, complete and presented correctly before submission. What impressed me most was her dedication and attention to detail. She never made the process feel rushed and was always available to answer questions, explain things clearly and make sure I was completely comfortable with everything being submitted. It is rare to come across someone who puts this much time, care and personal effort into their work. Naila genuinely went above and beyond what I expected, and her professionalism and commitment gave me enormous confidence throughout what could otherwise have been a very stressful process. Exceptional service from start to finish. Thank you, Naila, for all your hard work, patience and dedication. I would highly recommend her.

Conveyancing property sale

I had an inherited property to sell and had the pleasure of Chris transacting and completing my sale. The whole process from start to finish was exemplar, a professional and first class service. Great value for money, expert legal advice,excellent and quick communication all around. The sale process faltered a couple of times prior to the eventual sale, due to the proposed buyers chain collapsing, Chris was brilliant through this period, patient, tenacious, while have to restart with three differing law firms. Proactively navigating to a final conclusion with a refreshing and clear advice. Chris is pragmatic, professional and approachable and an asset to Clifford Johnson. I would highly recommend for all legal work.

Conveyancer for house purchase

Right from the start Clifford Johnston were super efficient and proactive, with a no-nonsense, get it done attitude. Throughout the transaction Chris was very quick to reply to messages and enquiries, often within minutes. During a period while Chris was away, the file was handled by Colin who was just as efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and to use them again in future.

fast friendly and proffessional

We first used Horup (Clifford Johnston & co) back in 2020 to buy our very first home. As complete first-time buyers, we had no clue what we were doing, but he was incredibly patient with us and answered every single question we had, no matter how small. We really felt like we were in a good pair of hands. We liked him so much that when it came time to sell that property and buy our next home, we went straight back to him. His hard work and dedication have remained just as consistent the second time around. He's quick, diligent, and highly competent. I really enjoy working with him and would recommend his services without reservation.

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.

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.
