Paul Crane Lawyer

Lewis + Crane Pty Ltd has over 40 years of experience serving the Coffs Harbour area, and the firm acts for the second and third generation of its original clients. Paul Crane has been a practising solicitor in Coffs Harbour for over 40 years. He holds a Bachelor of Laws from Sydney University and a Bachelor of Commerce from James Cook University, and is a trained mediator and probity advisor. He is a member of the NSW Law Society and the Institute of Public Administration Australia (NSW division).

Karen completed an Associate Degree in Law (Paralegal Studies) from Southern Cross University and is a Certified Practicing Conveyancer. She is a member of the Australian Institute of Conveyancers (NSW Division), is fully PEXA certified, and commenced at Crane Law in 2016 as a Conveyancing Paralegal. The firm offers services including commercial litigation, wills and estate planning, conveyancing, and commercial and business law.

Property buyers and sellers in Coffs Harbour turn to this practice for conveyancing, and Karen Lewis is the name that recurs throughout the feedback. Clients describe her as going above and beyond, whether the matter is a straightforward house purchase or the more involved arrangement of selling a home and a business separately. Clear and prompt communication is a point that comes up often, with questions answered quickly and updates provided at each stage of the transaction. Efficiency is another recurring theme, with settlements and paperwork described as timely and well organised.

The friendly and professional manner of both Karen and Paul Crane is noted frequently, including their willingness to explain what will happen and when, which leaves clients feeling informed rather than left guessing. Estate planning also features in the accounts, particularly the preparation of wills alongside property matters, and the same care is said to carry across to that work. Clients returning for a second or third transaction speak of trust built through consistent attention to detail and a personal approach to each matter.
