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.

I was looked after by Rober Travis. He was excellent. I was very worried about the predicament that I'd found my self in. Robert had already found key information in police recordings that I never knew existed. His attention to detail was fantastic. I always got a text, email or call back very quickly. I would not hesitate at all to use Robert again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

We cannot thank Jared enough for the outstanding support and professionalism he showed throughout a very stressful time for our family. From the very beginning, he was prompt in answering calls, always kept us fully informed, and explained everything clearly and patiently. He never left us waiting or worrying, and always got back to us quickly whenever we had questions or concerns. Jared was extremely thorough, professional, reassuring, and completely on the ball throughout the entire process. His calm and confident manner gave us a great deal of reassurance when we needed it most. We genuinely felt that he cared and went above and beyond for us. We would highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an excellent criminal solicitor. His dedication, communication, and professionalism were second to none, and we are incredibly grateful for all of his 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.

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. 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

Responsive and efficient

Chris recently acted for me on the sale of a property and I was extremely impressed throughout. Communication was excellent, advice was practical and straightforward, and he always kept things moving when other parties seemed determined to create delays. I particularly appreciated his no-nonsense approach and ability to explain matters clearly without unnecessary legal jargon. The transaction was not without its challenges, but Chris remained responsive, proactive and focused on getting the deal over the line. I always felt he had a firm grasp of the detail and was acting in my best interests. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancing solicitor. An excellent service from start to finish.

Professional approach = Successful application

It was a pleasure to have Naila work on our application. She showed great patience and dedication throughout to ensure successful outcome. Nothing was left to chance - every detail was carefully considered and clearly explained. Her flexibility was outstanding. She was happy to work outside office hours and do extra work to meet urgent deadlines when it really mattered. We strongly recommend Naila for your visa application needs. Thank you, Naila, for being part of this journey. We look forward to the next round of paperwork.

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.

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.

WOW! Natasha is literally the best solicitor. Super kind, responsive, and easy to get a hold of. She also took the time to explain things to us as it was the first time we sold a house and we needed a bit of extra help. I'm sure we wouldn't have got our sale done in as speedy of a manner if it wasn't for Natasha. Recommend to everyone! (and we literally have!)
