What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People bringing property purchases, conveyancing and estate matters to this Toowoomba firm consistently describe a smooth and well-managed experience. Christina Panikar is named repeatedly for her work on conveyancing and property settlements, with several customers noting that she kept them informed of issues as they arose and suggested favourable outcomes, even when a settlement had to be completed before a holiday deadline. Those same accounts highlight her calm manner, clear written and phone correspondence, and the value they felt they received.

Estate and will work draws similar praise, particularly for Lindsay Brown, who is described as easy to talk to, patient and thorough in explaining each step, with documents that clearly express a client's wishes. Sandra Ryder and other staff are thanked for keeping people updated on estate matters over extended periods. A detail many reviews return to is the care taken with inheritances and wills, including updating powers of attorney. Clients also remark on the realistic advice and the effort put into achieving a good outcome, with professional service maintained from the first meeting through to the final documents.

Great experience with ReesLaw with organising my will, if I didn’t understand something it was explained to me very well and I found the staff to be very easy going!

★★★★★ We engaged Rees Law to prepare our will and was assisted by solicitor Lindsay Brown. Lindsay demonstrated professionalism, patience, and exceptional attention to detail. He explained the process clearly, addressed our concerns thoughtfully, and ensured all documentation was accurate and complete. The experience was efficient and reassuring — I highly recommend Rees Law and Lindsay Brown for anyone seeking dependable, professional legal services.

Had conveyancing done with Christina, Sandra and Lindsay late 2025/early 2026. Was a smooth process and ReesLaw took a lot of stress out of selling my place in Toowoomba.

They have always been extremely helpful, respectful and caring during what to me is an very unfamiliar area. Every little thing was explained and guidance given everystep of the process.

I have only the highest praise for ReesLaw and highly recommend their services for their knowledge, professionalism and customer service. I 'inherited' ReesLaw as my own lawyer and solicitor services, after the unfortunate passing of my father last year. Fortunately dad had his estate and will held and managed by ReesLaw. I had no idea what to do or where to begin after taking over the responsibility of managing and executing dads estate but Lindsay, Sandra and Christina all helped me so much right from the start, all the way through to settlement and closure with everything. I feel like they took me in like family and I know dad is looking down and is smiling and grateful for everything also. I am going to miss you all and I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for everything you have all done to help me through the most difficult time of my life, and I wish you Lindsay, Sandra and Christina all the best.

As the Sole Executor of my late sister's Estate, I was in regular contact with ReesLaw over a twenty-one-month period during 2024 / 2025. I had never acted in this capacity previously. I cannot speak highly enough of the assistance and patient attention I received from Lindsay Brown and his staff members throughout the whole, sad, legal process. My principal contact with ReesLaw was paralegal Sandra Ryder to whom I offer my sincere gratitude for helping me through every aspect of the process and bringing the Estate to a successful conclusion. I would have no hesitation in recommending ReesLaw to any prospective client.
