What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Gold Coast clients describing family law matters repeatedly highlight the clarity with which each stage of a separation or property settlement was explained, so that people facing an unfamiliar process understood their options and the steps ahead. Praise centres strongly on Matt, whose knowledge of family law, calm sensitivity and direct advice left several clients feeling protected and reassured through financial settlements, and who is named alongside Jade and Emily for guiding people through divorce, urgent will changes and estate planning after difficult personal circumstances.

One thing mentioned again and again is the responsiveness of the team, with questions answered promptly from the first consultation to the final settlement, and Rikkilee is singled out as a dependable main point of contact. More than one review highlights being treated with respect and compassion during an overwhelming period, and the friendly reception and administration staff are noted for their efficiency. Attention to detail, thorough preparation and genuine care about securing a good outcome recur across different briefs, including estate planning work, and the consistent thread is of being listened to, kept informed and supported through testing personal circumstances.

I engaged MCG to represent myself in a property settlement. Given I was charged for a Senior Lawyer, I expect someone who clearly worked to ensure the best outcome for his client. Not the case, new Lawyer who has identifies several areas ignored to date at my expense.

I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of my marriage separation. I had seen and spoken to other lawyers before, who left me feeling confused and a bit silly, struggling to understand what was ahead of me. Emily, however, took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense, making a very overwhelming process so much more manageable. She was always on my side, even when she disagreed with some of my choices, and her honesty, support, and guidance were invaluable. I truly don’t know what I would have done without her. Emily is professional, compassionate, and simply fabulous—anyone going through family law matters would be so lucky to have her on their side.

MCG Legal was very helpful and professional. Emily Dorney was my solicitor and I was fortunate to have her representing me. I would strongly recommend MCG Legal if you are in need of legal help or advice.

We had an excellent experience working with Matt and Jade and couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the outset, they were professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, kept us well informed, and were always prompt in responding to our questions. Matt and Jade demonstrated outstanding attention to detail and genuine care for achieving the best possible outcome. Their expertise and calm, reassuring manner made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well managed. We are extremely grateful for their support and would not hesitate to engage them again or recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality legal representation.

I couldn’t recommend Matt and Emily from MCG Legal highly enough. From the very first conversation, they made a stressful situation feel manageable. They were calm, honest, and incredibly clear in explaining every step so I always understood what was happening and what my options were. Their professionalism is matched by how genuinely they care. They listened, supported me through the tougher moments, and handled everything with a level of detail and confidence that gave me real peace of mind. If you’re going through any family law matter and want a team that is not only skilled but truly invested in helping you get the best outcome, Matt and Emily are the ones you want in your corner. Thank you both for everything — I’m extremely grateful.
