I had the pleasure of working with Jackie at McHargs Solicitors for a complex property purchase, and her expertise was invaluable. She navigated the intricate details with precision, ensuring every aspect was handled professionally and efficiently. Jackie’s deep knowledge of property law, combined with her clear communication and proactive approach, made the entire process seamless. She anticipated potential challenges and provided practical solutions, giving me confidence at every step. If you're dealing with a complex property transaction, I highly recommend Jackie for her dedication, reliability, and exceptional legal support.

I am very pleased to have had McHargs Solicitors help me with the purchase of my property. Rebekah provided advice unique about my property and was able to effectively negotiate when the situation did not go according to plan. These actions reflect qualities which I think are exactly what you would want from your solicitor.

We utilised McHargs Solicitors (from Melbourne) for a very stressful conveyance sale and purchase process that had unexpected and unnecessary complications (by the purchaser). McHargs helped us through and kept us calm. They also provided advice and completed estate documents for my parents. Annerie Lustig provided excellent legal advice and we liaised directly with Jackie Lewin in particular. She was outstanding. High attention to detail, excellent follow up and great general support. My elderly parents were also incredibly pleased with the service they received.

My Fiancee and I recently purchased a property and we had a lot of problems with a mortgage broker and the bank, and without Jackie and the other hard work people at McHargs solicitors we would have most likely lost the property and our money! They treated us like family, Jackie went above and beyond for us, even though as Jackie puts it she was just doing her job! Now McHargs Solicitors is stuck with us for all our needs!!! I can not recommend them enough, absolutely outstanding service and lovely people to have on your side!!!

Annerie, Jackie and Rebekah were most professional and helpful at all times.

I have had several dealings with McHargs over recent years and have found them to be without exception professional and ethical and committed to going the extra mile to ensure they provide an excellent service to their clients. Most recently, in what should have been a simple conveyance, some unusual problems arose where I stood to lose almost $2,000 due to the actions of a body corporate organisation, which I would not have even become aware of, except that it was spotted by Teresa and Annerie, and Teresa did a lot of detective work to discover what had occurred, with the result that the money was returned to me. She took the burden of it all, saving me the trouble, and I could not be more grateful to her and McHargs. They have demonstrated that they are knowledgeable and trustworthy, and I recommend them unreservedly.
