Renee made what could have been a daunting process feel completely manageable. She took the time to explain everything clearly — no overwhelming legal language, just honest and practical guidance. I left feeling like I actually understood the decisions I was making, which matters a lot when the subject is this important. Highly recommend Renee to anyone who wants a lawyer who genuinely takes the time to help you understand what you’re putting in place.

She double and triple-checked details, followed up proactively, even right before a long weekend, and checked in every day during the crucial cooling-off period.Jeannette brings everyone together, bankers, conveyancers, agents, keeping all the moving parts aligned and ensuring my interests are safeguarded foremost - every step of the way.Thank you so much, Jeannette.

Jeanette responded in a timely manner and kept us updated and informed at every step.We strongly recommend Jeanette for conveyancing matters.Ian and Paula.

I have been working with Peter Doughman on a case since middle of 2024 and the case just got resolved. it has been an absolute pleasure to work with Peter. the communication has been on point, he has been very helpful to explain the legal terms and complicated matters to me in simple terms which helped me to provide right direction to him. when i found peter, i was already working with another legal firm who put me in a bit of a trouble and i already made huge expenses on the previous firm. peter has helped me to come out of that situation and provided the absolute best service that i can expect. will work with him again if any legal matter arises.

He helped me clearly understand my rights and gave me the confidence to stand up for what mattered most.With over 15 years of experience, and it shows, Kieran guided me through the family law process with calm, clarity, and strength. Anyone needing a knowledgeable and compassionate family lawyer. You’ll be in excellent hands.

I had the privilege of working with Kieran Ridley, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. The instant I hired his services at Mathewsfolbigg Lawyers, it was clear that he was not only highly capable but also highly committed to my case. Mr. Ridley, demonstrated remarkable depth of knowledge and experience, guiding me through each step of the process with clarity and confidence.The most impressive aspect was his unwavering commitment to understanding my needs and providing custom solutions. He carefully listened, responded to all my questions, and kept me informed and relaxed with each decision they made. His professionalism, attention to detail, and communication during the process were nothing less than superb.Other than being highly skilled, Kieran was patient and empathetic as well, making what would otherwise have been a stressful experience much more bearable. He was always readily available to respond to any question I had, and he answered promptly and politely, which kept me reassured during what was a trying time.I greatly appreciate Kieran’s dedication and commitment and am confident that I had the best possible representation. If you require a lawyer who is not only excellent but also empathetic and dedicated to achieving the best outcome for their clients, I strongly recommend Mr. Kieran Ridley. He is the ultimate professional in all respects.

My family were clients for over 50 years spending hundreds of thousands with the founder Paul Matthews (now retired) . We found out last month the partner looking after us had left with out notice for which we received no letter or continuity and the firm basically was not interested in helping or finding another solicitor or even providing any advice. Great to see a 45 year relationship thrown down the drain.

Kieran & his team are amazing. It was a very difficult time and they were thoughtful and supportive - they went the extra mile! My own personal therapists lolKeiran walked the whole way with me and completely exceeded my expectations. I will be using the Team for all matters now and have already engaged them. More than recommend them, I would tell you to absolutely engage this team for any legal service.

We just sold our apartment and engaged Matthews Folbigg as our solicitors (again as they helped us when we purchased the property). Their service, like last time, was amazing, especially Jeannette who was extremely efficient during the entire process and made the process extremely smooth and effortless on our part. Thank you so much!

We recently purchased our new home and engaged Matthews Folbigg as our solicitors.We could not be more pleased with the service provided particularly Jeannette who responded to emails and followed up on queries promptly and efficiently. Each step in the process was managed efficiently and any potential issues handled proactively including potential bottlenecks from the other party, this was particularly important in our case as the sale was over the Christmas shut down period. Would recommend and engage Matthews Folbigg again.

Matthews Folbigg is a Leading Family and Divorce Law Firm. I believe that this firm is the best I have ever worked with.From our first meeting, from the very first beginning, Kieran has explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand, and he was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Kieran is a great solicitor who could hit my goals easily and could obtain for me all orders I needed from the court.If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable law firm at a great price, quick response and wonderful assistance, then go to Matthews Folbigg.

Matthews Folbigg acted as Solicitors and Lawyers for my recent property purchase. They were extremely professional and thorough on all aspects of the purchase. They are very good communicators and ensured I was always advised on progress, issues or if there was input needed. Jeanette and Eadz were a very strong team and extremely helpful throughout the process.I would highly recommend them for facilitating a property purchase.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with Matthews Folbigg both professionally and personally.My latest experience was conveyancing on the sale of my property. Jeannette Limbo went above and beyond all expectations to ensure a smooth sale. Her same day response to all communications, professionalism, efficiency, and friendly manner could not be faulted in any manner also impressing my agent who frequently commented on her communication and efficiency.I am currently in the market for the purchase of my next property and will not hesitate to contact Jeannette again.I cannot recommend Matthews Folbigg generally and Jeannette Limbo specifically highly enough.

Jeanette Limbo and Eadz Tang are very professional. They provided very detailed legal advice, were very meticulous and paid attention to the details. Matthew Folbigg Lawyers provided fabulous conveyancing service and we are happy with our timely settlement!

This is my first time in transacting with Matthewsfolbigg which I did while purchasing a property. My dealings were mainly with Jeannette Limbo who went above and beyond any other solicitor that I have used when transacting for a property. At every stage I was contacted by Jeanette to update me personally and follow up with an email. She is unbeleivably pleasant, easy to work with, meticulous and takes her work to heart. As an example, our settlement was to take place at 2:30 on the Friday. It was imperative that we settle on Friday but we hit a technical snag at our bank. Jeanette spent the whole day on the phone with the banks and the other solicitor to try to get things done and stayed after work on a Friday until we finally settled. It was really nice to see how happy Jeannette was when it was done, we were definately not a number. We were a person who needed the job done. I read another review where someone called her a superstar. I agree. Thank you Jeanette.

This place is amazing. Professional, attention to detail, take the time to explain things to you properly and go to the nth degree to do what they can for you. We cannot speak highly enough of Matthews Folbigg. I used them 22 years ago to assist with my fathers business and my husband has used them again now for another matter. If you want a great job done well and professionally this is the place to go. Big thank you to Jeannette and the team for your input, help and patience. I would give you 6 stars if I could :)
