Conveyancing and general legal representation are the services that come through most clearly in feedback on this Bathurst practice, with several customers describing property purchases where contracts were carefully reviewed before exchange. Evan Dowd is singled out often, with reviewers repeatedly mentioning his professional manner, his clear explanations free of legal jargon, and his calm handling of grave court proceedings. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is how approachable and non-judgemental he is, which customers say gave them peace of mind during difficult periods.

Others recall Andrew and Grace as part of the team that helped them through challenging situations. Responsiveness is another theme, with clients noting that enquiries were answered consistently and that matters progressed efficiently towards outcomes they were pleased with. Costing is described as reasonable, and the firm's breadth across family, estate planning, personal injury and divorce work is acknowledged. Reviewers also note that a barrister was engaged when needed for court representation. First-home buyers and long-standing clients alike mention that they would return for future purchases, and the review sample ends on the efficient progression of a grave criminal case.
