Client service guarantees aren’t new, but for lawyers they are

We understand that good service is subjective from client to client and guarantee that we will strive to deliver the best legal services.

Genuine Care

Ultimately, we want to offer the best service possible, at what can be a very disconcerting time of your life. We value our relationship with you and want to build it for the long term.

Regular Communication

You choose your level of service, if you so wish we can leave no stone unturned and reach out daily however there are cost implications, so we’ll manage expectations from the outset.

Transparency of pricing

We will set the standards and expectations from the outset and endeavour to give you full transparency when it comes to the scope of work involved and any unexpected variations.

Expertise

The best solicitor will be selected  for your matter. As a full-service firm you have the benefit of having access to multiple specialist solicitors across all areas of law covering every eventuality and giving you peace of mind.

Knowledge

During your consultation, the solicitor will strive to fully comprehend your situation to the best of their ability. We are confident in the suitability of the solicitor assigned to your case, but should you find yourself dissatisfied at the conclusion of the consultation, you have the option to request a different solicitor at no additional charge or to receive a refund.

Responsiveness

Your matter is of the utmost importance. Depending on the urgency of action required we will guarantee to get back to you by the following business day at the very latest however in most cases it will be within a few hours, if not before.

What our Perth clients say about us

“I highly recommend HHG Legal Group. Lisa Riley has provided the best legal advice.”

ANONYMOUS

“We are extremely pleased that Lisa Riley was recommended to us.  Lisa was very upfront with us as regards possible outcomes, kept us informed along the way, and successfully achieved the best possible outcome.  She was dogged in her pursuit of justice and we found her to be honest, helpful, caring, diligent, and very professional in all our dealings with her.

We would strongly recommend her (and her support team at HHG) to anyone needing to engage a top-quality criminal lawyer.”

Dear Lisa,

Just a small note of gratitude for the phone call you gave me last Tuesday (11 July), in response to my legal query. I really appreciated the kindness you showed in reassuring me of my rights in our phone call, amongst other priorities. I am very appreciative of your time.

Thanks so much, Lisa. Very happy! Your team is very professional.

We have been working with Kim and HHG Legal, Bunbury on several matters. Kim is professional, approachable and knowledgeable; prompt to respond to a query with detailed information that is not only relevant to the matter in question, but also reassuring which instils confidence for us to continue working with Kim and HHG Legal, Bunbury.
