We had a complicated contemporaneous settlement to work through which included the sale of our home and purchase of a new home all at the same time, it was critical that we were protected through the process to ensure firstly we would not be left without a home in the case that one of the other parties backed out of the deal and secondly that the process would run smoothly, Courtney and her team gave us the support we needed and dealt with all matter promptly to ensure no delays plus broke down all the complicated parts of the deal in plain English understanding this was not a regular process for us to embark on. I would highly recommend Lockett McCullough Lawyers and will be using them again.

Donna's approach and address of the sale of our property was seamless and matters has been professional, and calm given the situation. Her time and efforts on our settlement process assisted the outcome in being positive for us when selling our home.

Donna always kept us informed and was a pleasure to deal with. We have used Lockett McCullough for years and will not hesitate in using them again and have no hesitation in referring Donna for any future settlement work.

Great service. We originally had Lockett McCullough Lawyers as our solicitor for our business dealings in Noosa. Then when we bought our first home, we also had them as our conveyancer. As you can imagine, it was a lot for a first home buyer, we had no prior experience and everything is new. Thankfully, our conveyancer, Sophie, helped us through the process and sorted everything out. We also received a rate supplement notice from local council 4 months after settlement with payable rate backdated to before we own the property and Sophie helped us contacted the seller and had them pay their share of the rate supplement. Highly recommend.

Courtney was incredibly helpful with 3 different documents I required - all of which I have never had before (Will, Power of Attorney and Co-ownership Agreement). Her response time amazed me - getting first drafts to me in less than 24 hours! She was equally as efficient in responding to my questions and suggestions for final drafts. Thank you for making this such an easy and painless process!

If I could give a zero star I would. Very unprofessional firm using dirty bait and switch marketing tactics. Provide a quote for conveyancing then add $200 worth of unjustifiable fees to a very basic conveyance of a residential property. When I raised the query I was provided with a justification for the additional charge which was proven to have not been carried out by the paralegal and so a different justification was given for the additional charge. Highly unprofessional outfit. You cant even call any of their offices at all. All three office numbers are diverted to the message bank of a lady name Kate. It simply says "Hi you have reached Kate.... " I am now highly doubtful the three offices claimed on their website even exist. Why would none of them have a working telephone? I was provided a copy of the Queensland law society register showing two of the staff are on the QLD law society register. How can you have 3 offices and only two lawyers? Instead of trying to resolve my complaints, I have now been threatened with defamation if I don't take this review down.

Very happy with the service. Fast, efficient and genuine. Donna was very helpful, explained everything in common language (as first home buyer there is lots of terms that I couldn't get my head around) but she took her time to make sure I am on the same page. Easy to contact as well as regular updates of the progres. Definitely took away a lot of stress from my shoulders.

This firm committed a serious breach of client- lawyer confidentiality in email correspondence about estate planning (constitutes a breach of the Privacy Act). In addition to the breach, documents prepared had multiple errors. Previously good dealings with the firm for conveyancing. Will not be using this firm again.

Inger Brecknell assisted me with the conveyancing for my first property purchase. I highly recommend her. When I made my initial enquiry, I received a response from Donna within about 5 mins. Thereafter I dealt solely with Inger. I enjoyed having the one contact person which you don't always get. It made updates and questions much easier because we were on the same page. Throughout the process Inger was very informative and quick to respond to any questions. She cared about me and the process and was genuinely motivated and excited to get to settlement on time. All communications with Inger were informative and professional. She gave honest and reliable information. She is very trustworthy. I highly recommend Inger.
