Vanessa at JP Legal was excellent. My partner and I had recently sold two properties and purchased one and Vanessa kept us informed through out the process and was nothing but professional and flawless in all our dealings. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and the company at JP Legal.

Nick and the team at JP have taken care of all my families legal needs for some time now. From conveyancing, wills, contract reviews and everyday family law needs.
