I am immensely grateful for the outstanding legal support I received. Your team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and dedication in successfully resolving my complex council order matter. The guidance was clear, strategic, and incredibly effective throughout what was a stressful time. A special and heartfelt thank you must go to Gavin and Peter – their direct involvement, responsiveness, and commitment were truly outstanding and made a significant difference. They are a credit to your firm. Thank you all for achieving such a positive outcome; your hard work and skill are genuinely appreciated.

We have used Hones for conveyancing on two occasions and have been very pleased with the level of professionalism. We would in particular like to convey our appreciation of Jane Mercer's service excellence and professionalism throughout our (not always straightforward) conveyancing process. Jane was efficient and communicative at all times, and also very friendly and patient in guiding us through the various steps of purchasing a property. We could not have been more impressed and would like to acknowledge this with our feedback.

I have been working with Jane Mercer over the past few weeks finalising everything for settlement on my new place. Jane has been one of the most helpful and plesant people I have dealt with throughout my property purchasing journey. She is friendly, responsive, helpful, took a lot of time to explain things to me I was not clear on and got my settlement done in 15 days! I would highly recommend using Hones Lawyers and especially Jane who was an absolute pleasure to work with. Would happily engage with Jane any time I need help. Thank you Jane!

Over the past four years, my wife and I have experienced the burden of an easement that was placed over our property by the previous owner of an adjacent property.

The current neighbour holding the dominant tenement rights considered that he had exclusive use of the section of our property covered by the easement. He seemed to have little or no social conscious, and caused us much unnecessary distress by his intrusion, and practice of "storing" his unwanted possessions in our place.

Something had to be done about it particularly as I was fearful of leaving my wife at the mercy of his bullying and intimidating behaviour should I pre-decease her, given our age difference.

I asked a barrister friend if she could recommend a solicitor(s) who specialise in easements. I was given a list of solicitors at the top of which was Hones Lawyers.

I decided to seek the help of Jason Hones and his team, and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my 87 years lifetime.

Jason, together with his associate Peter Clarke handled our matter for the best part of two years during which they were at all times respectful to us, and attended in a most competent and professional way to every one of our concerns and steps along the way.

Hones Lawyers represented us in communications with our neighbours' solicitors, and did everything in their power to achieve a mutually agreeable outcome. Their efforts were continually hampered by obfuscation from the other side until it finally became obvious that our only course of action was to take the matter to court.

Under the expert guidance of Jason and Peter, our matter was heard in the Supreme Court of NSW and we are extremely grateful to have been successful in achieving judgement in our favour, and the purported easement has been declared invalid.

As mentioned earlier, we are impressed with the respect we received at all times from Hones Lawyers, as well as their conscious effort to communicate with us without confusing us with "legal speak".

Their selection of senior and junior counsel was spot on and achieved an excellent legal team to represent our interests.
Jason personally came with us to make the introduction to counsel and sat with us through the preparation negotiations.

Throughout the whole process Peter Clarke proved to be a very intelligent and extremely competent young man, a valuable representative for his organisation, and was always polite and available for our every requirement.

In conclusion, we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hones Lawyers to anyone who wants competent legal representation carried out properly and efficiently.

Peter has recently represented me in a matter & I have found him to be incredibly knowledgeable, extremely articulate and very responsive. He also has an impressive network of professionals around him and he has a “get it done” attitude. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and Hones & I would definitely retain his services again.

Tried communicating with this law firm via their online platform where you fill out a form and someone contacts you. They claim they didnt receive it. So I emailed them direct waited 24hrs but no response, so I called them to make sure they had received my email and yes they had, and Chris was going to get back to me that afternoon. Surprise surprise no one contacted me that afternoon... Communication classes for this firm are a must .... from my experience .... stay away
