Excellent Conveyancing

Horup was our solicitor and he was excellent. A clear improvement on conveyancing solicitors we have used in the past. He came across very efficient, responsive, organised and clear. It seemed like he made the effort to avoid any delays to the process which was much appreciated. When Horup was on annual leave there was somebody else temporarily dealing with our case who responded to our emails which was also really helpful to avoid any delays.

I contacted several firms but this was the only one where the solicitor was prepared to listen to the clients needs. Queries were always answered promptly. Lina was always at the end of a phone if you needed anything.

Fantastic service

Lina was amazing from start to finish. She was very thorough and kept us in the loop the whole time. I remember after the initial conversation, I knew she was the one as she was very practical and real about the whole situation. She explained everything in detail and made sure everyone understood exactly what was going on and all possible outcomes. The service provided was amazing and as a family we could not fault it one bit. Thank you so much once again!

First time buyer

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere thanks for all your hard work and support throughout the process of purchasing my first property. As a first-time buyer, I was initially overwhelmed by the complexities of the legal side of things, but your professionalism, clear communication, and patience made all the difference.

You were always quick to respond to my questions, no matter how small, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy for me to understand. Your guidance on key decisions, like contract reviews and navigating the paperwork, gave me confidence throughout the entire process.

I especially appreciated your proactive approach when it came to addressing any issues that arose, as well as your attention to detail in making sure everything was in order for a smooth completion. Your support helped make what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier.

Thank you once again for your excellent service. I’ll certainly be recommending you to anyone I know who’s in need of a solicitor in the future.

A fantastic solicitor

When I was referred to the TRA my world was turned upside down. I was in unchartered waters. I contacted nearly 10 solicitors who specialised in dealing with the TRA. When I spoke to Jared I knew I had found the right one. I cannot speak highly enough of what he did. When I first rang he took time to speak to me personally, calm me down and talk me through the process. He clearly understood the process but framed it in such a common sense and practical way that was understandable. Before I contacted Jared I could not see a way through. Once I began to deal with him everything became much more straight forward and I regained confidence. His advice and guidance was invaluable. The upshot was that the case was thrown out before going to a review panel. He simply presented the evidence that was clearly there in an irrefutable way. Calm, thoughtful and cconcise. He was always contactable and very personable. To anyone looking for a TRA solicitor I could not recommend Jared highly enough.

Prompt, clear and very helpful!

Horup was incredibly helpful and timely on everything we did. As first time buyers he guided us through the process and kept us informed and up to date. Even when out of the office, helpful colleagues stepped in to keep us informed. I would recommend Horup and the firm to anyone and will recommend to my friends.

I highly recommend Jared McNally as a solicitor. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and always timely in his responses, providing strong support during a difficult time. His expertise and promptness made the entire process much smoother, and I felt reassured knowing my case was in good hands. If you need a skilled and reliable solicitor, Jared is an excellent choice. Thank you, Jared!

Fantastic Professional Service

After personal allegations were made against me by a third party of a serious financial nature I was forced to find a criminal lawyer - Jared McNally came highly recommended by a family friend.
Jared took control of the situation and directed me through what was an extremely distressing few months. He guided me through an utter minefield dealing with my anxiety and fear with such compassion and kindness - standing my corner at every turn ! I don’t think I was his easiest client because this was so far removed from anything that I am used to ! Jared just was so kind and I will be eternally grateful to him for being there for me. Nothing was too much trouble !

Jared is simply fantastic. He was very professional, would answer questions I had without issue and would respond even out of hours when I got an auto responder that he wasn't available. Jared put in 100% effort and I got a result that I'm more than happy with, it felt like nothing was too small for him to be willing to take on.

He recommend a barrister who was equally as brilliant and even he commented on how much work Jared had put in to make his job easier.

Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a solicitor
