Grant & Simpson Lawyers

Grant & Simpson Lawyers was founded in 1897 when Hugh Grant joined Robert Brumm in the partnership of R A Brumm and Grant. The firm is based in Rockhampton, Queensland, and services clients throughout Australia. It has been serving the Central Queensland region across three different centuries, and the Grant legacy has been carried on through a further three generations of Grants practising under the family name.

Allan Grant is the Managing Partner; John Siganto and Katherine Lord are Partners; Stephen (Stan) Smith is a Consultant. The firm's practice areas include family law, building disputes, conveyancing, commercial law, criminal law, discrimination, employment law, estates, personal injuries, rural matters, slips and falls, traffic matters, wills & powers of attorney, agency, motor vehicle accidents and workplace accidents.

It has operated from offices at Rockhampton, Emerald, Mount Morgan, Wowan and Yeppoon, and its current offices are in the old Primac Building. The firm provides a range of legal services that are both efficient and cost effective, and it prides itself on developing personal client relationships and offering a practical and sympathetic approach to clients' problems. The team at Grant & Simpson is large enough to offer detailed advice and small enough to develop client relationships.

Professionalism and a caring approach stand out across the feedback for this Rockhampton firm, which handles family law alongside property conveyancing, employment matters, litigation and traffic law. Various customers describe staff as helpful, honest and understanding, with a manner that made difficult personal circumstances easier to manage. Reviewers repeatedly mention how straightforward the process felt and how efficiently matters were completed, including one client who returned over many years for conveyancing and litigation and noted consistently high standards.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the friendliness of the team and the reasonable fees charged for the work involved, with no sense of time being wasted. Qualified and experienced practitioners are credited with getting results across a range of legal problems, from family matters to traffic law matters. Clients also value being kept informed and feeling genuinely supported through stressful periods. The tone of the accounts is positive, with praise directed at the service received and the people who delivered it, particularly the caring attitude shown when personal circumstances were at their most demanding.
