Excellent Duty Solicitor
I want to give an enormous thank you to Lina who was an excellent Duty solicitor. She was extremely professional, prepared, knowledgeable and experienced. Lina helped me navigate a difficult legal process and present my case in the best light. I had no idea how things worked but she confidently supported me through each step. Lina presented me well in court and summarised a great deal of information effortlessly. She knows the system very well and I genuinely can't believe I was that lucky to get Lina as my duty solicitor! Thank you Lina for helping me to put my case forward in the best light.

House purchase
CJ & Co were very professional in handling the whole deal. They kept us informed and we had timely and quick replies to any queries we had. They guided us through the whole process and our named solicitor Horup was ever so approachable and helpful in keeping us always informed. I would recommend them highly.

Third time using Chris Furbey as my solicitor 5*
This is my third time using Chris as my conveyancing solicitor and wouldn't trust anyone else. We've never met in person (so don't be put off if you're not local). Chris is very responsive by email and you can contact him direct. 100% would recommend to friends and family and I won't use anyone else in the future.
A representative from Clifford Johnston & Co responded to this review on 12 March, 2025:
Thank you for your continued trust and recommendation, Haylie! It’s great to hear that Chris has consistently provided a reliable and responsive service. Your support means a lot, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future.

Review for Horup Khan – Outstanding Solicitor
I had the pleasure of working with Horup Khan for my property purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. He was incredibly efficient, quick, and dedicated, always ensuring that everything moved smoothly and on time. His professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process, and he went above and beyond to provide the best possible service.
Horup Khan was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated at every stage, and provided clear and valuable advice. His friendly and approachable manner made the entire experience stress-free, and his prompt responses gave me confidence that everything was in good hands.
I highly recommend Horup Khan to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor. He truly did an excellent job, and I am grateful for his hard work and dedication. Thank you,Horup Khan !

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
A representative from Clifford Johnston & Co responded to this review on 09 December, 2024:
Thank you for your review. Julian! It’s wonderful to hear how dedicated and professional Jared was throughout your case. His commitment, responsiveness, and attention to detail clearly made a positive impact, and we’re thrilled you achieved a result you’re happy with. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
