“Thank you. I don’t know how to express the gratitude I have for Rachel and Lesley. You have made the most arduous task almost bearable. You were both amazing. Thank you again.”

- Anthony J Rian

“Dear Carol and Lesley, I just wanted to pass on my huge gratitude for all you did today to get us over the line with our house purchase. We are very happy clients. Thank you for providing excellent advice on both the sale and purchase. You always had our best interests at the forefront and were responsive. A huge thank you for being the calm voice at the end of the phone (many times!) We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family.”

- Kara

“I have worked with Chapman Jones, previously Alan Jones Law, for over 10 years on many different assignments. They give practical honest answers to issues. A local practice with a highly knowledgable team.”

- Paul Singleton

“I have been a client of Alan Jones Law for over 25 years and have used their services for all my legal needs from wills and property conveyancing to dealing with difficult lease issues and have always dealt directly with Alan himself. Recently, since the practice became Chapman Jones Law Limited, I have been dealing directly with Lesley on several separate but related legal processes. Lesley has been highly effective in executing these processes and has been a pleasure to work with.”
