What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Commercial acquisitions, employment matters, contracts, governance and conveyancing are the areas of work that recur across feedback for this Newcastle firm. Amanda Crosbie draws consistent praise for thorough, pragmatic handling of a business purchase and for practical pro bono guidance to a charity on contracts and policy development. Jeremy Kennedy is remembered for sound advice, patience and dependable follow-up, while Christa Chapman and Melissa Cuttiford appear in accounts of property purchases and sales where careful checking and quick replies kept transactions moving. Haydon Potter is linked with employment law, where his knowledge and genuine concern are said to have eased a difficult experience.

Ned receives credit for a commercial dispute resolved favourably after lengthy negotiations. One thing mentioned again and again is responsiveness: clients report that questions are answered and updates provided before and after matters close. Small businesses, charities and private purchasers all feature among those commenting, and clarity of explanation is mentioned time and again, with the reasoning behind advice spelled out rather than simply the recommendation. That consistency of communication and the breadth of expertise across commercial, employment and property work define the experience described.

Cheryl Pacheco provided clear, practical legal advice that gave me real confidence in my business decisions. Her guidance on employment matters and contract terms was thorough and easy to understand, and she took the time to make sure I understood the reasoning behind her recommendations, not just the recommendations themselves. Would recommend her to any small business owner needing straightforward, reliable legal support.

I had the pleasure of Jack assisting me at a very emotional time after my husband's death. He handled all the details with great professionalism making sure I understood every aspect of my litigation case, both the best and worst outcomes. He focussed on legal matters in everyday speech not legal jargon. I felt confident that Jack was the ideal solicitor for me and I cannot praise him enough. I would thoroughly recommend Jack as well as RCM lawyers for any legal work. Once again, thank you Jack for the time and effort you put in to assist me getting a benefial outcome . You say it is your job but I could not have got through this without yourself and team. Thank you Jack.

Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation (HBCF) is incredibly grateful for the pro bono support provided by Amanda and the team at Roberts Crosbie Mortensen Lawyers. They have been generous with their time, thoughtful in their advice, and genuinely invested in supporting our charity. Amanda provided concise and practical advice on a legal matter and has been an invaluable support across contracts and governance, including policy development. Pro bono support like this makes a meaningful difference for not-for-profits, and we feel fortunate to have worked with a partner who combines strong expertise with care and genuine commitment to the community.

I recently engaged Amanda Crosbie to assist with an acquisition. Amanda was very thorough, pragmatic and efficient. I felt well-supported at every step with accessible and high quality advice. I would confidently recommend her to others and would not hesitate to engage her services again.

Thank you to Lara, Christa and Mel for their work on my matter. It was nice to have someone to rely upon when it came to buying and selling my house. I very much appreciated their work they made it seamless.

I was helped by Christa and she is conscientious, considerate and extremely proactive in getting things sorted properly. I have had poor experiences from bryden's and she is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended.
