From the very first contact I received the utmost courtesy , empathy and respect.
I consistently felt heard and understood…and in turn had every action explained to me simply and clearly.
Abby and Chelsea handled my matter with a simultaneously professional and compassionate manner and my confidence in their ability to resolve it never wavered.
I recommend their services wholeheartedly and will be referring them both professionally and personally to anyone requiring legal assistance.
What truly sets Chelsea apart is her ability to combine deep legal expertise with genuine care. She communicates clearly, responds faster than any solicitor I’ve ever worked with, and makes even the most stressful situations feel manageable. Every step of the process was explained, every question answered, and every detail handled with total efficiency.
Chelsea and her team are the definition of excellence—reliable, dedicated, and truly outstanding at what they do. If you’re looking for a solicitor who delivers top-tier service with unmatched professionalism, look no further. This firm deserves every bit of praise!
Thank you, Chelsea, for your incredible work. You’ve set a new standard!
On the one day Joe couldn’t attend court, Chelsea stepped in and was absolutely amazing. I never once felt unsupported—my case was handled with care and professionalism throughout. Their world of knowlege always directed the case in the right direction.
Joe’s no-nonsense approach to billing was also refreshing. What we discussed was his word, and he stuck to it. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honesty and integrity.
Huge thanks to Abby and Demi for keeping me constantly updated and in the loop, and to Monique for always being warm, welcoming, and up for a chat. This team didn’t just represent me—they genuinely cared. I’m beyond grateful.

I highly recommend Joe McConnell at McConnell & Saldumbide Lawyers
Throughout our time working together, Joe and his team were consistently professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. They took the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand, which made a huge difference. Their dedication and hard work truly paid off, and I’m incredibly grateful for all of their help and support.
If you're looking for a team that goes above and beyond, Joe and his team are the ones to call at McConnell & Saldumbide Criminal Lawyers.
Joe is the man, got the results we were after, I can't recommend this brother enough, to anyone reading this....look no further when you need legal representation, this company has your back,
And to Joe, thank you so much brother! You already know what you have done for myself and my family, Thank you again
Kind regards,
Melanie Tiffin.
The entire team (Joe, Chelsea, Abby and Monique) provide wonderful client care from the first phone call all the way to the outcome.
We recently had Joe assist our family with multiple matters which resulted in an outcome that was better than we had expected. During the process, Joe was approachable, empathetic and a calming presence for our family during a significantly stressful period in our lives. Joe’s approach to client care is refreshingly transparent. At no point were we unsure of what was happening with the matter or what the intended next step was. To top it off, Joe’s knowledge in criminal defence is second to none and his working relationship with David Jones KC made our family feel at ease, knowing that we had a team that was willing to support us no matter what came our way.
Chelsea was also wonderful to speak to during the very rare times where Joe was unavailable. Chelsea was willing to answer any questions we had and was willing to help us in any way she could if we were not able to speak with Joe. This level of service and care for clients is so special and makes you feel supported at every step of the way.
I would trust both Joe and Chelsea with my family again. If you are looking for legal representation, look no further than McConnell & Saldumbide.
Thank you Joe for all ur hard work.
Mr McConnell not only expertly handled my case but also ensured I understood every step of the process without feeling judged. His clear explanations and nonjudgmental demeanour made a daunting situation manageable.
His legal expertise and strategic thinking led to a favourable outcome, and Mr McConnell navigated the courtroom with confidence and grace.
I highly recommend Joe McConnell at M&S Lawyers for anyone in need of top-notch legal representation. Thanks for everything, Mr McConnell.
Sincerely,
Chloe Kerslake.
They're the best.
Calum really assisted me in my situation
Chris McIntosh
Whilst my case was ongoing everyone I had contact with at the firm were always happy to answer any questions asked and were always polite and friendly.
I firmly believe without Joe fighting for me I would’ve served a very lengthy sentence instead Joe managed to get half of my charges dropped and I walked from court with only a fine.
1st class criminal defence lawyer will only use Joe and his firm if I have any problems in the future.
