What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing for residential purchases and sales forms the bulk of the work described by clients in Townsville, with wills, enduring powers of attorney and club constitutions also featuring among the matters handled. A handful of customers describe the process as easy to follow, noting that explanations were kept plain and that they were kept informed from contract through to settlement.

A theme running through the feedback is the care taken with questions, with buyers saying their enquiries were answered patiently and that anxiety gave way to confidence. Named staff feature prominently: Felicity Darwen is repeatedly credited with professional, capable handling of purchases and sales, including transactions managed remotely by phone and email for clients based elsewhere. Meaghan is praised for a prompt, friendly and knowledgeable approach to a complex sale.

Marie-Louise Coco is remembered for cheerfulness and support when deadlines felt stressful, while Cameron Turnbull is singled out for clear, helpful guidance on wills and powers of attorney and for assistance updating a community club's constitution. Richard also earns mention as an excellent solicitor to deal with. Reviewers consistently remark on the professionalism of the wider team, the willingness to treat clients as valued, and pricing described as affordable, with repeat instructions over years for both family and property matters.

We recently engaged Cameron Turnbull for advice on a commercial property purchase and were very disappointed with the level of service provided. Communication was minimal — we received only brief emails with little guidance. Cameron also made no effort to negotiate terms within the contract on our behalf. The seller’s solicitor asked us on multiple occasions if he was actually representing us as he had not made any contact with them at all. Based on our experience, we would not recommend his services. At the very least, we strongly suggest requesting a quote in advance, as we found the fees to be excessive given the limited assistance provided. We ultimately had to engage a new solicitor to receive adequate support — although this was an additional expense, it was well worth making the change.
