MACLEGAL (incorporating MCF Lawyers)

On the recommendation of a friend, I first saw Leon McPaul at MacLegal in 2017 to do my will after a separation. Leon made the process easy and very affordable. I subsequently recommended him to other friends, who have also been very happy with him.
In recent months, I had to again call on Leon's services to settle the estate of my late brother (probate, dealing with banks, transfer of estate, etc). Although it was a deeply traumatic and challenging time, Leon and his colleague Hannah took me through this process with enormous care, sensitivity and promptness. I doubt it could have been made any easier or affordable for me, and I remain so grateful. I could not recommend MacLegal more highly. They are honest, professional and caring.

"My experiences with MACLEGAL were stupendous through and through. Leon knows his craft and will walk the extra mile for you. I consulted with MACLEGAL on two different occasions and each one of them was handled with utmost care and professionalism. I also appreciated working with people that care for you on a personal level instead of just handling you as a “case“. Highly recommend. "

Leon is a people person and cares solely about his clients. He is completely honest and will not lead you down the garden path. He also has a great sense of humour)
There needs to be more Lawyers like Leon in the world who are not just after $$$$$$

I engaged Maclegal’s help going through family dispute resolution and conveyancing matters and I can’t compliment the team enough for the extensive experience and knowledge in the field as well as the dedication and professionalism demonstrated.

Leon’s commercial approach means that he looks for the best outcome for you while minimising your cost – I know not many would expect this from a lawyer, but Leon truly tries to save you on legal cost! He really didn’t charge me for many hours we spoke to understand my case.
I think It is important to have a someone who understand the non-monetary value of the case to you going through this process as after all this emotional journey for many is not all about money. Leon’s knowledge has been reassuring and that you know well what to expect.

Great attention to details and prompt responses always! Maclegal has been the best I’ve worked with and I highly recommend their services.

Leon McPaul has been working closely with my brother and myself for over 2 years. My brother was forced into a horrible family law dispute. It was a brutal and emotional process and thank goodness Leon was our Lawyer. He was honest from the start. Fees were clearly stated and reasonable. The outcome he predicted from day one was the outcome we got. Leon is extremely knowledgeable in family law and was always professional and personable. There were many times he went above and beyond for us and his concern for my brother and his children was genuine. His attention to detail was outstanding and he picked up so many discrepancies (lies) with costs and statements from the other side that saved my brother money and face. We were able to put our trust in Leon at a time that was extremely stressful. He also has a brilliant sense of humor. Thank god a friend recommended Leon. A+

After my Wife's parents passed away, she engaged the services of Leon at MACLEGAL.
Leon's knowledge of family law and his compassionate and professional approach to his clients ensured that my wife and her siblings experienced a smooth and thorough process in sorting out their parents' estate.
Leon and his team maintain excellent communication throughout the whole process and provided well informed advice when needed.
After experiencing first-hand what my wife went through when she lost her parents, I have to say that I completely trust Leon as a person of integrity and a highly competent lawyer.
I highly recommend Leon and his team at MACLEGAL.

Hannah Brand – Outstanding in Every Way!

From my first conversation with Hannah, I knew I was dealing with a professional, answered all my questions with prompt response to all my calls and emails.
It was a race against time Hannah made the process of purchasing very easy, and a pleasant experience was informative very helpful with every step of the way and went above and beyond 5 STARS to Hannah.
I cannot thank Hannah enough for all her efforts, extremely impressed with her professionalism, care, advise, and overall quality service would highly recommend.
Most certainly my future business will be done with MACLEGAL.

Hannah helped me through the purchase of my first property. All of the process seemed very daunting at the start but with Hannah’s guidance and expertise it was quite an easy process. With some issues on the finance side of the settlement causing me some stress and headaches, Hannah explained the options and processes and relieved all that stress. Thankfully, with her help, we worked through the issues and settled.

Thanks Hannah!

Hannah helped me with the purchase of my first property and she was absolutely amazing! At the start I didn't understand anything and she was so very patient and kind to me explaining everything which made the whole process less daunting. Due to COVID there were delays in getting finance approval but Hannah was so responsive to all of my emails requesting extensions from the vendor. Hannah is very efficient and with her expertise and support it all worked out in the end. I was expecting the cost to be a few thousand but was amazed at the great value for such an amazing service. I highly recommend Hannah and Mac Legal to anyone needing a solicitor and if I'm ever fortunate enough to be able to purchase a second property I will be using her services again and recommending them to anyone else I know. I cannot speak more highly of Hannah. Thank-you for your guidance throughout the whole process, it made the process of buying my first home one to remember.

Highly recommend Leon and his team.
Helped me through all aspects of a seperation, children, property, super and made himself available when I needed advice.

Purchased a property with the assistance of Hannah, if you want a good property lawyer make sure to use Hannah. She is knowledgeable, pragmatic, patient and an excellent communicator.
Hannah guided us through the process from start to finish and always responded to phone calls/emails within 24 hours.
Hannah always acted in our best interest and I couldn't have been happier with her advice and assistance. Despite a difficult Vendor, Hannah made the process relatively simple.
The price was also very reasonable for the level of support provided. Thanks!

Brilliant, impressed with MACLEGAL’s personal service and honest, with frank advice. Leon came to me as a recommendation through a barrister, and he has gotten me a better outcome through a settlement than what the barrister advised. Attention to detail is spot on. Has assisted me with a property settlement, conveyancing and estate matters!

When we needed a solicitor/conveyancer to assist with our first home purchase, we placed an online enquiry with MACLEGAL and we are so glad we did. From the first email that Hannah sent us, we were put at ease and knew that choosing MACLEGAL was going to be a good decision. It felt as though Hannah treated our purchase as if it were her own and no question was too silly. Hannah, thank you so much for all of you help and assistance. There were a few days when Hannah was on leave, but the assistance provided Leon during this time was also second to none.

I highly recommend Leon to anyone who is going through separation. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but more importantly he really cares! The advice and direction he gave me allowed me to navigate through the storm and achieve a great outcome in the end. Thank you again for all your help and guidance!

When I thought I need to change my conveyancer I sought recommendations from my friends and Maclegal was strongly recommended. Truly, I found Maclegal lives up to its reputation. Excellent professionalism blended with empathy what I found in their service. At times I completely relied on Hannah’s recommendations and it was very worthy. Maclegal has acted as a savior during the difficult process of negotiating and clinching a rebate for settlement. In every step Hannah kept me informed on legal repercussions and made recommendations suitable for my situation. Not for a moment I felt like having difficulties in communications as was the case with my previous conveyancer. It was not just a conveyancing but also excellent legal service which I did not really know that I would need most down the path of settlement. Heartiest thanks to Hannah and Leon.

Just adding my 5 stars to the awesome Maclegal team! Excellent advice, service and understanding at a difficult time for our family. Thank you Leon and Hannah

Hannah did magnificently outstanding work as our solicitor. It’s a great pleasure to work with her.

She has the expert knowledge and deep understanding in every detail of her work. Whenever there is any question, she would always give an answer that is easy to understand yet not missing any important details. She has a warm personality and is always willing to go the extra mile to further help her client. We definitely appreciate her flexibility and efficiency in solving any problems.

Maclegal has total transparency about any cost. The value they have created is way above their price. I can certainly see why they are so successful in their industry.

Leon the best Lawyer, I have seen so far!

Highly recommended.with very good supporting staff.

As a Queensland based law firm, we often require assistance for clients who have relocated from Victoria. We always engage MacLegal because we have confidence in Leon’s knowledge of the law and his ability to provide prompt, efficient service. From sale of properties to estate planning matters, we find their friendly, professional approach easy to work with. Feedback from our clients is always 100% positive and that reflects well on us.

Leon the principal at Maclegal is THEE most trustworthy lawyer I have had the pleasure of doing business with. He is sincere, genuine and actually takes the time to ask about my family. I don't have a lot of experience with lawyers but if I had to recommend anyone it would be Leon. In fact the staff (Hannah) that works there too is awesome. I can't fault them at all. Leon is dedicated and actually has a sense of humor not like others who are all about getting the job done. If you need a lawyer GO TO MACLEGAL and ask for Leon you will NOT be disappointed.
