Carley has been our lawyer for many years, and has always looked after us throughout our whole home ownership journey, as well as helping with our wills and other areas where we've needed her legal knowledge and advice. She is always available and always friendly and professional. Trish is a legend when it comes to conveyancing, and has supported us through two purchases, she is so thorough and calming in what is otherwise an often stressful situation. I can't recommend this team highly enough for legal support when it comes to home buying or managing any legal matters.
