The team at Mitchell Playford & Radburn were both very professional and extremely kind while handling my mothers estate. There is a genuinely surprising amount of formalities and topics to deal with, but its greatly eased by help from such knowledgeable and engaged people.

I recently used MPR Solicitors for conveyancing on the buy side. It was for a rural property, and I wanted to use local solicitors as I assumed they would know the area better than the Sydney Solicitors I had used in the past. Carlie, Kacee and Paula worked very well as a team. They were extremely professional.
