Damien Lintonkeane Great attitude

Debra Fisher Very helpful

Andrew Fothergill Jane Libbis from Bayside Collaborative helped me through my separation from my wife with my young son in the mix. From the get go a clear understanding of the way I wanted to conduct and carry myself through the process was really well accepted, actually probably more like promoted. Within each communication with my ex wife a clear message was portrayed that complemented this. There were times were I would get carried away down the injustice path which swayed my thinking, but with Janes help I was able to remain focused on the clear goal of ensuring the end result always remained about my son and what was best for him. Thank you Jane. Like I said the lawyer that really cares and knows how to get the job done. I would highly recommend Jane at Bayside Collaborative.

Sakthi Purathattil Seshrin Naidoo and the Satori Law team have been professional and reliable in their service. Seshrin’s expertise helped me navigate my legal concern with ease and gain clarity to what was a complex matter. I would have no hesitation in recommending Satori Law to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Acheel Kamale From the exceptional levels of professionalism and knowledge to the personalised and friendly service, Sesh and his team truly go above and beyond for their clients. The team at Satori Law cannot be more highly recommended.

Melissa Kleores I came to Satori Law late December with an urgent legal matter and it was dealt with immediately. The service I received from Seshrin was not only professional but I felt like my concerns were heard and met, which is so hard to come by. I can’t recommend Seshrin highly enough.

Tee Kay Seshrin and his wonderful team are all extremely professional, curtious and experts in their fields and they are someone I have never hesitated to refer to when needed. Always accessible, always approachable, perfectly knowledgeable and extremely diligent in their work, Satori Law is a fantastic law firm founded on helping people when they are most vulnerable. While engaging a lawyers services may seem daunting and scary, they remove that from the equation to ensure the highest level of customer satisfaction and greatest client experience for anyone in need of legal assistance. 5/5

Baris Turkmen Can’t recommend SatoriLaw enough. They have been really helpful through our stressful times and solved our issue with great care and knowledge. Very very highly recommend Anuki as she is very caring, lovely and approachable at all times. Thank you so much ❤️

Genevieve Moore David impressed me as not having any biases just a focus on fairness and maintaining relationships even though the partnership may be over. Highly recommended.

Caroline Giles I recently engaged with Wills & Wealth for probate of my parents estate. My parents had been with them for years - however I did not have to go with them. I am so glad though that I did. I received exceptional, thorough and timely professional guidance and care through what is an emotional and confronting time. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their rates are most competitive with other firms and even if you find cheaper, it is worth every cent for peace of mind. So many thanks Caroline

rod munro Very helpful

Grant Stinear Very good service. A company you could trust

Mark Frater I contacted Anita to get a property transfer done & there was only a short timeframe to it done. Anita organised Michaela to do this. She did an amazing job, with the limited time she had & kept me informed of the progress at every stage! It went through seamlessly & on time! I then spoke to Aaron to get a will done. He also did an amazing job & walked me through every step, explaining it all in layman’s terms. I couldn’t be happier with their services!! I would highly recommended them & if I’m ever in need of legal advice, they will be the first people I call!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

guillaume Dillée My wife and I spoke with them for one hour at their office, and we received a cost estimate. I asked for some explanations by phone regarding certain fees. Nothing was signed due to a complicated family issue with my son. I had to switch to a very specific law firm. I sent them an email to inform them of the situation and asked for their invoice. In the description of the invoice, they wrote: "advice and work done prior to your email for your succession planning matter." I paid the invoice. Then, two weeks later, I received another invoice. Their total fees amounted to more than $2,000. Everything was supposed to be paid. I complained, and they said that they had worked more than they had billed. I asked for the related documents. They said: "Pay, and we will proceed." I transferred the money, and after two weeks, I still hadn’t received anything. I sent them a letter to complain. She responded, saying that I would receive everything in two days. Four weeks later, still nothing. It is very, very disappointing, I am afraid. Therefore, I do not recommend this firm.

Stephen Heart Colin has taken care of 3 conveyancing legalise for us, this was Brigitte’s trial by fire with us and once again we had a great result. A rocket swift settlement that got our feet on solid ground after our own boggy year. I would recommend no other.

Jarrad Fernando Anita and Andrew helped my business put together terms in a quick and thorough way. I had never engaged a lawyer and the process was simple and well communicated including last minute changes. 5 stars!

Krish Karimbil I dealt with Aaron Guest, a lawyer at Bancroft Lawyers who managed the acquisition/settlement process of a property on my behalf. Aaron was very helpful and responsive during the process and ensured that the transaction was completed in a smooth manner.

Cathe Horton I called with a question about my parents estate and Matthew Quinn was very informative, providing me with helpful insight. Other firms wanted a consultation fee before answering my questions, Matthew was able to guide me with his expertise on the information I shared with him. I highly recommend!

Madeline Perkins Aggie Migelakis has managed the conveyancing process for three properties which varied in complexity and value. Throughout the process Aggie was accessible even outside of working hours. I could always make contact and know she would prioritise and action. She was always representing my interest stepping in when needed to address issues especially in the instance where a purchaser was being unreasonable. I would highly recommend Aggie and certainly continue to use her for my property matters.

thomas Dealt with Quinn and Quinn my entire adult life, helped me through Wills and my fathers Probate, Christian Vassis is an absolute legend of a lawyer and an even better bloke. Highly recommend having your legal matters handled by him.

Michelle Brooker Christian was amazing in his expertise in handling complex Estates matters and really does care about the client. Highly recommend.

Dominique Grainger Aggie was honestly amazing! So helpful & calm and made my settlement so easy! Literally the best!

Warwick James I engaged Melbourne Family Layers to represent me during 2016/17. At all times I was provided with sound advice and expert direction. My principle representative, Giuseppe Rubino, showed dedicated concern for both my expenses and my state of well being during a very difficult stressful time for me. He provided expert guidance and was clearly knowledgeable of the law, precedents that were relevant and the representatives of the other side. I have no hesitation in recommending Melbourne Family Lawyers to anyone going through the difficulties in divorce and property settlement.

DanielleS CE Family Lawyers supported me every step of the way through one of the most stressful times of my life. I will always be grateful for their professionalism, advice and compassion (special mention: Sarah). I wouldnt hesitate to engage their services again or recommend to others.

Tim Bussell Avoid this firm like COVID. I used CE Family Lawyers many years ago and they were ok. Unfortunately I engaged them recently and realised that they had lost their edge (to put it mildly). They were slow to respond, their advice seemed to be uninformed, they were easily offended by constructive criticism and incredibly overpriced. One of their principals seems to have exceeded his use by date as his advice was barely standard and never timely. Everything was always someone elses fault. Even a one star rating overstates their usefulness. Fortunately, I sacked them before it was too late and moved to a competent firm that provided a highly professional service. Look up Mitchell Family Law, they are fantastic.

Andrea Jennings I was recommended CE Family Lawyers from friends who had used them in the past. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Sarah was professional and compassionate, and helped me through an extremely difficult and stressful time in my life. I will be forever grateful for everything Sarah and the team at CE Family Lawyers did for me.

Crystal Lauren Paduch The CE Family Law team have assisted my business, Child Support Consultants with family law matters that our clients may require with a child focused approach. During the past year of working closely with the directors, lawyers, counsel and staff within CE Family Law, they have provided my clients, team and I with valuable legal support and information delivered in a timely, respectful and professional manner.

Jennifer Hunt CE Family lawyers proved themselves to be money hungry, lack lustre and incompetent in my simple case. Their initial paperwork prepared by their Principal was flawed and they hungrily built a case based on this which could never result in anything for me but a time intensive $100,000 lost family court debacle. There was zero support and they recommended barristers who were as equally ineffectual and nepotistic. Towards the end of my case David E. who I’d never dealt with called me to ask if I’d like to withdraw my proceedings and I was not informed why he was making this call. I was to soon learn that they had discovered their error and didn’t inform me and made a cryptic phone call presumably to say they were under instructions to proceed and cover themselves. They did not disclose to me their error. They did say that if things were proven to fail I could sue them as incentive to keep going but how can a single mother without the means sue a legal firm who are so well armed to fight against one person. How incredibly self entitled to say ‘you continue to disrupt your life and we’ll pop it in with our daily running’s and threaten to make you pay costs’. I felt defeated, disillusioned and disgusted. The judge ruled that the legal work was flawed from the outset and I received not a word of apology nor offer to refund my lost $100,000 that they greedily lined their pockets with. An appalling demonstration of a legal practice whose sole aim is to churn people through and feather their own nests. At all costs avoid CE Family Lawyers. There are far better, more capable, more ethical and more genuine lawyers out there. CE Family Lawyers deserve a 0/10 rating from me and I can see others have had a similar experience. Fascinating to see 50% of their 5 star reviews have no descriptions around them. Asking people to ‘just do a review to pick up our ratings’ isn’t a good look. Perhaps remedy your actual performance and some negatives might resolve.
