  • Brooke Powell

The worst and most stressful conveyancing experience imaginable. Would never, ever use Lockett McCullough again. Due to this firm not submitting our forms to the bank, we missed our settlement date. Very lucky for us, we had understanding buyers. We were told again and again that the firm 'didn't usually submit those forms for you', despite this being item two on their to do list provided to us (to complete, sign and return the forms, also provided by the firm). Not once did we receive an apology for this, or even acknowledgement that they'd made such a huge error. We had days of extreme stress in not knowing when our settlement would actually happen. As first time home sellers, we believed we were paying Lockett McCullough as conveyancers to guide us through this process. What we paid for was to be repeatedly blamed for this firm's incompetence. Honestly, with so many conveyancers out there, absolutely any one of them would be better than Lockett McCullough. RESPONSE TO LOCKETT MCCULLOCH'S REPLY BELOW: As Lockett McCullough are fully aware, our settlement date was changed after mutually agreeing to do so with our buyers (yet another point they failed to actually action for us) and settlement WAS IN FACT THE DAY AFTER the agreed to settlement date because of Lockett McCullough neglecting to actually do what they were supposed to (see above). Funny thing them saying to get in contact when they've still not responded to two emails sent weeks ago - what a joke! My review above still stands, is completely accurate, and I don't appreciate this business trying to convince people looking for honest reviews that I'm not being truthful.

  • Rebecca McDonald

If I could give a zero star I would. Very unprofessional firm using dirty bait and switch marketing tactics. Provide a quote for conveyancing then add $200 worth of unjustifiable fees to a very basic conveyance of a residential property. When I raised the query I was provided with a justification for the additional charge which was proven to have not been carried out by the paralegal and so a different justification was given for the additional charge. Highly unprofessional outfit. You cant even call any of their offices at all. All three office numbers are diverted to the message bank of a lady name Kate. It simply says "Hi you have reached Kate.... " I am now highly doubtful the three offices claimed on their website even exist. Why would none of them have a working telephone? I was provided a copy of the Queensland law society register showing two of the staff are on the QLD law society register. How can you have 3 offices and only two lawyers? Instead of trying to resolve my complaints, I have now been threatened with defamation if I don't take this review down.

  • Grace Pond

Inger Brecknell assisted me with the conveyancing for my first property purchase. I highly recommend her. When I made my initial enquiry, I received a response from Donna within about 5 mins. Thereafter I dealt solely with Inger. I enjoyed having the one contact person which you don't always get. It made updates and questions much easier because we were on the same page. Throughout the process Inger was very informative and quick to respond to any questions. She cared about me and the process and was genuinely motivated and excited to get to settlement on time. All communications with Inger were informative and professional. She gave honest and reliable information. She is very trustworthy. I highly recommend Inger.

  • Jason Edmunds

Lockett Mcollough Lawyers have yet again pleased us with their friendly and diligent approach to our recent property settlement. We have used this firm many times in the last few years. Thanks for the support in this complicated land lease issue, especially to Courtney for the advice that allowed us to negotiate better terms with the seller. This firm are professionals in QLD property contracting, who I happily recommend to any investors or residential buys/sellers looking for a trouble free process. We will certainly use them for all our future property and legal proceeding. Thanks to the team, we appreciate the assistance.

  • Aaron McMahon

Donna looked after every part of our conveyancing so thoroughly and professionally that this is an easy 5-star review! Nothing was an issue, everything was done on time (even when she had to chase us!) and she was always happy and pleasant to talk to. I would highly recommend Lockett McCullough and Donna in particular! Update - While Donna was excellent during our first transaction, the 2nd time was nothing less than appalling (we didn't use Donna unfortunately). The other Solicitor was rude, unprofessional and didn't even book in settlement causing delays and issues. Awful, unprofessional service when not using Donna.

  • lorelle holland

We are very grateful for Courtney's professionalism, efficiency and affordability at Lockett McCullough Lawyers. Courtney has demonstrated her capacity as a competent lawyer helping us with making wills, executing wills, estate distribution and offering professional support navigating this stressful process. Additionally, effient conveyancing and transfer of property deeds has been performed for us. We will seek her services in the future as required. Courtney's office is situation at Toowong allowing easy access and her office provides free car parks. We highly recommend her work. Thank you Courtney

  • Rodrigo Souza

Was not a knowledgeable by being a foreign that I should apply for a permission to buy a house. It is a 6500 AUD fee that I could have avoid by having the right orientation. Was contact by the ATO, about it. Called many times asking for help without any respose, just received Sunday a vague and disrespectful response because I had tried to have some help calling the office many times. ATO made clear what I should have done to avoid it, instead of the solicitor from Mc Cullough. Now probably will have to pay the permission 6500.

  • Jessica Hunt

We recently engaged Courtney and her team for the conveyancing of our new home, as well as updating our wills. The service we received was outstanding! We were completely impressed with Courtney's attention to detail, total professionalism and personal attention to matters so important to us. The services we received were amazing value for money and conducted in a very timely manner. We would not hesitate to recommend Courtney and her firm if you are seeking the same outstanding service and value for money.

  • Belinda Johnson

Following an unsatisfactory experience with another firm, we approached Lockett McCullough Lawyers to manage a number of several complex conveyancing and family law matters. We quickly developed a high degree of confidence in their services and have been very pleased with their advice and communication. We have used many different solicitors around Australia over the last 20 years and have now found a firm that we can confidently employ for all future legal matters.

  • Larry Green

The above and beyond service is outstanding, they return calls and messages, do what they say, support difficult situations and most of all, all of their staff are very nice, helpful and calm even when the client such as I was stressed and unwell. Most companies have forgotten the word service and to return calls or messages, Lockett McCullough Lawyers have not. They get the task completed with the client in front. Thank you from Veronica and Larry Green

  • Bec Hopson

Courtney provided an outstanding service with my house settlement, and my and my husband's wills. She was happy to respond to all queries and make any changes we requested to ensure we were happy with the end result. She has also been on hand months afterwards with questions we had for rental and tax purposes, without charge. I would absolutely recommend Courtney and the team for personal service, attention to detail and quality results!

  • Stu Dix

Vicki's approach and address of matters has been professional and calm given the situation with buyer extensions of time and contract breach conditions. Her time and efforts on our settlement process assisted the outcome in being positive for us when selling our home. Vicki always kept us informed, and was polite and enjoyable to work with,. We will not hesitate in using and referring her in the future for any settlement work.

  • Jason Woollett

Courtney and the team at Lockett McCullough Lawyers have been impeccable with the service they have provided my partner and I during the last month. Courtney's professionalism, responsiveness and ability to calm and advise us during a stressful time was greatly appreciated. My partner and I cannot recommend Lockett McCullough Lawyers highly enough and will certainly be using them in the future if we ever need again.

  • B Ross

Words cannot convey how grateful I am to Courtney and her team, who have helped me navigate through my legal matters to reach a positive result. Not only have they supported me for nearly two years, but due to Covid, Courtney has done ALL of it over the phone and via email, due to us living interstate from each other. Courtney was professional and supportive the entire time, and I am forever grateful. Thank you :)

  • Sarah flegler

Lockett McCullough Lawyers are very professional lawyers and knowledgeable in family law. From our initial meeting, everything was explained to me and they were always very understanding and responsive outside of our meeting. Lockett McCullough Lawyers were very affordable and had a sense of compassion during a highly stressful experience. Thank you to the team at Lockett McCullough Lawyers.

  • Troy & Amy Hansen

I’ve never been less impressed with a conveyancing solicitor. Very, very slow document turnaround and communication. Standard document packs were error ridden and our contact developed an attitude when we expressed our concern with timeliness and unsatisfactory communication. The only reason it’s not a one star is the settlement occurred on time. First and last time for us.

  • anna obal

Very happy with the service. Fast, efficient and genuine. Donna was very helpful, explained everything in common language (as first home buyer there is lots of terms that I couldn't get my head around) but she took her time to make sure I am on the same page. Easy to contact as well as regular updates of the progres. Definitely took away a lot of stress from my shoulders.

  • Lisa McKewin

I highly recommend Courtney and her associates at LockettMcCullough Lawyers. Courtney was helpful, organised and professional throughout a recent settlement that required extra attention, as one party had relocated internationally. It’s relieving to know you are dealing with people who are efficient and have great communication. Thanks again Courtney!

  • Tanya Free

I have been very fortunate to have Donna Otabil represent me during the sale of my unit. Donna was nothing short of professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. Donna made the whole process so much easier to understand and took care of any queries I had. I would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for conveyancing services. Thank you!

  • Stuart Dolbey

I have dealt with Courtney and the team at Lockett McCullough Lawyers many times for a variety of legal matters and have found them to be nothing short of professional.

  • Julie C

This firm committed a serious breach of client- lawyer confidentiality in email correspondence about estate planning (constitutes a breach of the Privacy Act). In addition to the breach, documents prepared had multiple errors. Previously good dealings with the firm for conveyancing. Will not be using this firm again.

  • Rohan

I had Courtney assist me with setting up my Will and I’d highly recommend her as she was very professional and compassionate towards my needs. I’d spoken to a few other places that made the process very confusing and complicated, but then I met with Courtney the she made the process sufficiently easier.

  • Louise Swanson
