What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing work at Heard McEwan Legal draws steady praise, with reviewers describing simultaneous property sales and purchases that proceeded smoothly and were explained at every stage. Melissa is named repeatedly for her thorough and responsive approach, keeping clients informed as transactions move towards settlement. Wills, probate and the administration of estates form another recurring theme, and Julia and Kristy are singled out for the respectful, timely way they guided families through the reading of a will, probate and the distribution of assets.

Peter Franke is mentioned in connection with representation for a traffic offence, an experience described as removing much of the worry from the court process. A point made in several accounts is the clarity of explanations, with legal steps broken down so clients understand what is happening and what comes next. Commercial transactions and general advice also feature, and customers note that queries are answered promptly and matters progressed efficiently. The friendly, professional manner of staff and the ease of dealing with the team across property, estates and court work are noted throughout, along with the consistency of communication from first instructions to final distribution.

Was not happy with service, outcome or attitude. They told me they would win easily, then it cost me a fortune and years to pay legal fees off. Go with the small guy who cares!!!

We recently sold and bought property in Wollongong and used Melissa (Heard McEwan Legal) for both transactions. They were absolutely amazing to deal with - friendly, efficient, and always kept me in the loop. Everything was explained clearly, and they made what could’ve been a stressful process really easy. Settlement went through without a hitch! I’d definitely recommend them to anyone buying or selling in the area. Marc & Tina

I can highly recommend Heard McEwan Legal.With the passing of my mother I knew nothing as to what to do. Heard McEwan were able to explain to me what was going to happen & explain the processes involved and walked me through every step of the way from the reading of the will to organising probate through to the distribution of mums estate.,

Nathan and the team at Heard McEwan are true professionals in every sense of the word. From the very beginning, they demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise, integrity, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Their communication was clear and timely, and they made sure I fully understood every step of the legal process. It was clear they genuinely cared about my situation and were dedicated to providing not just legal support, but also peace of mind. I would highly recommend Heard McEwan to anyone in need of trustworthy, skilled legal representation.

I highly recommend Heard McEwan Legal 👍. I had completely satisfaction of having Peter Franke from Heard McEwan Legal assist & represent me in dealing with matters relating to a traffic offence at Wollongong Local Court & he was absolutely brilliant 🙂. The way he handled matters took all of the stress out of the whole experience & honestly i cannot thank him enough for everything 🙂👍.

Melissa was a pleasure to deal with. Her communication was excellent and kept us up to date throughout sale of our property and the purchase of our new one. I would recommend HML and will use them again in the future.
