I was referred by a friend in question of an estate matter, but hearing about the cost of lawyers I felt a bit daunted engaging a city law firm, not knowing how long the process would be or cost. I was quite wrong with my initial thought, as Turner Freeman Lawyers ventured into a speedy process,continuously kept me informed along the way and I thought your costs were extremely reasonable. I most definitely would refer any close family member or friend to you. Thank you so much.

Thank you Jenna for everything you have done for me in a relatively short period and for the spectacular result you achieved for me. I am happy that I found you after being sucked in with another firm on a no win, no fee and getting nowhere with my previous solicitor who would not even return my calls. I am so glad that I found you. What you achieved without mediation and without court action is amazing. You are a remarkable lady, a great solicitor with so much knowledge and the most important true to your word and trustworthy.

It has been a very difficult time for me, but your attention to detail, your prompt responses and returning of calls have made a real difference.
We love that you are professional yet personable and that you’ve been reliable and informative every step of the way.
I think this case turned out a lot more involved than any of us thought it would. I’m so glad we had you & Jeff in our corner. Jeff Otto was a perfect choice. Please extend our sincere thanks to Jeff for all his help. Thanks again for being so fantastic.

I was happy with Jenna Hutchinson from the very beginning with our first phone call, when we discussed whether she could assist with my mother’s estate. I was very happy with how Jenna and her team were able to sort everything out for us. Thank you very much.

I just want to take this time to pass on my gratitude and appreciation to the Team at Turner Freeman Lawyers in the Brisbane City office.
Wills and Estates are never an easy process to deal with, being at the passing of loved ones and with present family members. My matter was dealt with in a highly professional way. From my first phone call for help to the conclusion of all matters involved. Jenna Hutchinson and her Team were always there to keep me up to date with proceedings and matters at hand. Always answered my calls promptly and making me feel I was their only client at that time, which I know I wasn’t. Their importance to keep you updated with quick responses were 10/10.
All in all a seamless process to gain the result I intended for.
I would never hesitate to recommend Turner Freeman as the Team you want to undertake your matters in relation to Wills and Estates.
So to, Jenna Hutchinson, Janna, Alyson, Simran. A huge thankyou!!!!

I had a great experience, with Turner Freeman. I was assisting and elderly lady through a challenge to a will. It had the potential to be a very upsetting and confusing experience for her.
We found the solicitors kind, clear, compassionate, patient and supportive.
They were very effective in getting a good outcome and this was achieved in a timely and cost effective manner.
I could not recommend their services more highly and the way in which they were delivered was greatly appreciated.

I am happy to say our result was positive.

Can only say I was very happy with everything Sean Jones did for my case. Very easy to talk to over any phone conversations we had, emails were easy to understand. If I had any questions, Sean took the time to explain in detail until I could understand. Friendly, very empathic and never once did he make me feel that any of my questions wasn’t important. Highly recommend Turner Freeman Lawyers.

We could not speak more highly of the team at Turner Freeman, Brisbane, who represented my sister and me in obtaining a share of our parents’ estate. Thanks to our wonderful lawyer, Sean Jones, backed by the expertise of principal, Jenna Hutchinson, we were able to receive a favourable outcome with a minimum of stress and inconvenience to ourselves.
We found a warm welcome at Turner Freeman, and always felt unhurried and a priority. Sean took the time to explain everything carefully as we went along so that we had a clear understanding of all aspects of our case. I must mention his unfailing courtesy in his dealings with us and in his responses to a sometimes belligerent opposing legal firm.
Thank you Sean and Jenna for your professionalism and hard work over the past year. it has been a pleasure to have had you represent us.

Turner Freeman Lawyers Brisbane handled by family estate. I am grateful for the assistance they provided from the very beginning stages to the final distribution of funds. They were professional and as prompt as one can expect in these circumstances. They also assisted with the conveyancing of the estates property. I would recommend this firm.
