Thank you for such great assistance with our Commercial Law transaction. It has been such a pleasure to work with the HHG Legal Group and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Very friendly and efficient service – what a pleasure working with Matthew.

JACQUES TAYLOR

HHG Legal Group has provided outstanding support as I have taken the journey of buying a business, their professionalism is beyond reproach. Their assistance throughout the Due Diligence process has been invaluable, I would fully recommend them.

MARK ARMITAGE

Marine Plant Systems has been working with HHG Legal Group for a few years now and they continually provide first-class service. Their professional advice has been invaluable to our company.

CAROLIN GRIMM – MARINE PLANT SYSTEMS

I had a fantastic lawyer in Matthew Lilly. He helped me out a great deal with good, sound advice in a friendly, professional manner. First class, thanks Matthew

GRAEME HAMMOND

HHG has advised and assisted me with my litigation piece for several years now and due to the complexities with my matter, they have been consistently professional through navigating the defendant’s representation and tactics. Whilst the process has become frustrating at times as well as prolonged I must confirm the guidance, counsel and thorough support the whole way through has given me the confidence I have the right team assisting me. I have no hesitation with having HHG assist my clients as needs arise.

PAUL

Murray Thornhill Director of HHG has completed legal work on behalf of my company for many years. His expert knowledge, easy approach manner and ability to deliver a result quickly is some of his best traits. Murray is dedicated to his profession and has developed a high performance team by quality recruitment, strong leadership, focus on staff training and leading from the front with a work ethic matched by very few in his industry. I can highly recommend Murray and the team at HHG and say that if you give them the opportunity you will be wondering why you didn’t do it years ago.

JEREMY

Over the last few years, I have been impressed by Simon’s legal ability, management skills, entrepreneurial spirit, personal integrity and people skills. He appears to be that rare breed of lawyer – both knowledgeable and commercial.

MICHAEL MALONE, FOUNDER OF IINET

Simon is a friendly and practical legal advisor. I have received great feedback from the clients I have referred to him and his team at HHG Legal Group.

RICHARD BEAL, DIRECTOR AT BDO

A big thank you to HHG for their professional service, continued support, and wide range of legal knowledge. Our clients have given us nothing but kind words regarding HHG Legal Group and so we have no hesitation in referring and recommending Simon Creek and HHG Legal Group for their outstanding services and legal expertise.

NIGEL PLOWMAN, DIRECTOR AT MCKINLEY PLOWMAN & ASSOCIATES

We feel the need to thank you, and the sections of your team in Perth Law Firm and Albany who steered us here through what we found to be some troubled months of first selling our home of twenty four years and acquiring this one.

In particular, your legal expertise deescalating the impending disaster of the buyers’ attempts to question the sale price, with a claim referring to the proposed “Albany Ring Road ” project, was vital, and so appreciated. May we tell you again we are exceedingly grateful to you.

We would also like to commend to you, your assistant, Ben Appleby for the way he handled the conveyancing of both sale and purchase, and became our friend throughout the procedure, although we have never met.

We feel guilty that initially his services were chosen only because his quote was the lowest.

With our current knowledge, we can provide a list of reasons to choose HHG.

This man was totally efficient, precise, and an excellent communicator. He could run courses for the real estate industry on communication and efficiency, which are sorely needed.

Please pass on our deepest thanks to your team in the Albany office for their friendliness, and efficient, immediate communication with Perth.
