I can’t say enough kind words with regards to the professionalism, knowledge and hard working ethic of Mathai Joshi. From my initial phone call (when I spoke directly) with Mat, to our meeting and throughout our calls or messages, Mat was empathetic, understanding and willing to assist. He is extremely hardworking and went above and beyond to ensure success…. For which I am forever grateful for! Mat is a fantastic lawyer and a lovely person! Thank you so much for your support, understanding, kindness and dedication Mat.

We recently had the pleasure of having June Philipson handle the conveyancing work for us during the sale of my mother's property. It was a rather stressful period for us due to several contracts not proceeding as planned, and June was exceptionally helpful in collaborating with us all to secure a sale. June consistently kept us well-informed and was very accommodating of our needs.

So glad that we found Zach Dauth of Connelly Suthers Lawyers in Townsville to help us with conveyancing our home recently. His professionalism, willingness to help, and his prompt responses made selling our home a breeze. If we ever get the opportunity to work with Zach again, we would not hesitate. Thankyou again Zach!

I cannot recommend Owen Tongue highly enough. Owen was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome. Legal matters can often be stressful and overwhelming, however Owen took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and ensured I felt informed and supported throughout. His attention to detail, responsiveness and depth of knowledge were outstanding. The entire team at Connolly Suthers Lawyers Townsville were excellent to deal with, but Owen's expertise and dedication truly stood out. If you are looking for a solicitor who is highly skilled, trustworthy and genuinely cares about his clients, I would not hesitate to recommend Owen Tongue and the team at Connolly Suthers. Thank you again for your exceptional service.

5 stars for Lloyd Kennedy! I cannot thank Lloyd enough for his exceptional legal representation. From our very first meeting, he was professional, efficient, and deeply knowledgeable. Legal matters are incredibly stressful, but Lloyd kept me completely informed, explained every step clearly, and stayed entirely on top of my case. Thanks to his dedication, I received the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Lloyd and the wonderful team at Connolly Suthers Lawyers to anyone needing reliable legal counsel."

Mathia Joshi is an outstanding lawyer at Connolly Suthers who made a real difference in my case. He was incredibly supportive, professional, and always went above and beyond to explain everything clearly and fight for the best outcome. Throughout the entire process, he was responsive, reassuring, and truly awesome to work with. I highly recommend Mathia to anyone looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares and delivers excellent results.

I am not posting this review because of your prise incentive. The young man Lloyd, assigned to my case, I found to be proffecional, informative and didn't waist my time with irrelevant conversation. He handled things professionally and each of his court predictions turned out as he said it would. Very happy with his service and a credit to your organisation. Have a nice day, Mike.
