Fantastic solicitor!

I assisted my friend who instructed Lina as her solicitor and was involved with her case throughout. I am extremely impressed with Lina’s professionalism, legal knowledge, empathy, understanding, commitment and compassion. She was simply fantastic! Always kept us updated and nothing was too much trouble. Her legal knowledge, confidence and assurance was amazing and really helped my friend through a difficult time. If you ever need a solicitor, she is the one to go for!

Attention to Detail, Outstanding Service, Great Work Ethic

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. Regulatory cases are stressful and time-consuming. Jared's work ethic stands out as superb and this is very helpful. It is really helpful for well-being to have someone who is clearly working so hard back for you- that is Jared. One of my wonderful witnesses was very proud to tell me that after emailing Jared a lengthy document at 1pm on a Sunday, he received a detailed reply just a few hours later. Jared didn't have to do that and we all hope he does get some good rest. But he did and it means a lot to me. I worked with Jared at Clifford Johnston again for a second set of proceedings and they were equally fantastic with a just, fair vindication the final outcome because of Jared's care and hard-work. and would recommend them wholeheartedly. Jared will take the time to see your case for what it truly is and help you get justice. He is fantastic.

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 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

A client

I instructed Jared McNally for a regulatory matter - a vexatious complaint from events nearly 20 years ago. Though the agency involved took a very long time to clear me with no case to answer, Jared's diligence, perspicacious advice, and belief in my integrity were all I could have asked for. He is a very decent human being and utterly committed to his client. Allegations of this nature are extremely stressful, and in my case compounded by a long history of harassment. Before instructing Jared I felt lost, as my union lacked the capacity to support me effectively. He changed that and kept me sane. I'm very grateful to him.

Fantastic experience, would recommend

Natasha was communicative, diligent and helpful throughout our house sale and house purchase. She preserved when other professionals were not forthcoming and her hard work ensured we had a smooth, successful and speedy process. Natasha was always available and responsive and having direct contact with her was helpful. Her knowledge was fantastic and she always made sure we understood what was happening. Would recommend Natasha to anyone needing a solicitor.

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 would like to share the service I received from Katie. She was quick to respond for my request to arrange power of attorney. Katie also explained any legal jargon with patience and understanding. It gave both myself and family clarity on details we may have been unsure of in the future. I can't thank her enough and will undoubtedly recommend friends and family to contact Katie for an excepitional service. Thank you Katie

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!)
