Choosing a lawyer to complete the conveyancing required to enable you to purchase a house or building, to give advice about starting a business or to prepare important documents like wills or enduring powers-of-attorney, can be a baffling and worrying process.

    If you are looking for a Mackay lawyer, solicitor or law firm you ought to seek the following attributes:

    Satisfied customers

    For most individuals it is almost impossible to compare the quality of legal services provided by one Mackay solicitor/lawyer or another. Unless you regularly use a similar kind of legal service you won’t really be able to compare different law firms. Look for a Mackay solicitor who is proud of their past performance and offers a number of references from previous or existing clients. If they provide quite a number of testimonials it tells you two things. Firstly, that they have a lot of happy clients and secondly, that they are willing to take time and go to the trouble to discover what their clients think of their service. They are aware that they are a service-oriented business.

    Local Knowledge

    Any Mackay solicitor or lawyer ought to have a good local knowledge and demonstrated experience in aiding others in the region. Find out if the firm has worked on local developments or firms with established conveyancing specialists who have developed a valuable amount of “inside knowledge” about the property market, local agents and banks which can make a huge difference to the way your transaction will be dealt with.

    Breadth of services

    While most people only need a lawyer rarely, there is value in choosing a Mackay lawyer, solicitor or law firm which can provide you with the full range of services without you needing to seek different law firms. Finding a firm that can assist with your conveyancing, estate planning, disputes, business services and even workplace or employment issues, means you can be confident that one firm which will meet all your legal requirements. Law firms value clients that use several services, and are often able to provide services more cheaply if they have done other work for you in the past.

    *In Queensland a person with legal qualifications was traditionally referred to as a solicitor while a person who “had standing” to represent you in court was called a barrister. More recently the general term lawyer has become more widespread and can be used to describe either of these types of legal practitioner. In some other states of Australia the conveyancing process (the legal process required to transfer ownership of house) can be undertaken by licenced conveyancers. This is not the case in Queensland where conveyancing must be undertaken by a solicitor/lawyer.
