Nobody likes needing a solicitor but when confronted with a major legal battle involving a relationship break down I was recommended to contact Julie at Ferguson legal and it was a great choice. Julie and her staff were both professional and skilled and her guided and calm approach to issues kept things centred. I am extremely satisfied with the service and can strongly recommend them to anyone in a similar position.

Jasmine recently handled the conveyancing on a very complex property sale. The whole process went very smoothly. Julie recently completed some other legal work for me. Everything went very well. I can highly recommend the team at Ferguson Legal.

Jas at Ferguson Legal in Ballina recently helped me with all the paperwork behind purchasing my first home. What many have described as a nightmare was a complete breeze thanks to Jas. Jas was thorough, knowledgeable, time efficient and informative. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and was very patient with any questions or concerns I had. If you are currently looking to buy a house, I highly recommend dropping in to see Jas.
