BALLANTYNE LAW GROUP REVIEWS

Mel and I went to James and Grace at Ballantyne Law based on a recommendation from a friend. We could not have been happier with the knowledge, service and care that we received from them in preparation of our estate plan. From start to finish and nothing was too much trouble. Really appreciated and highly recommended.

Sidnee & Grace assisted us with estate planning and we found them to be extremely helpful, friendly & efficient. We highly recommend Ballantyne Law & we will most certainly engage them again for any future legal matters.

We used Ballantyne Law to update our wills and power of attorneys, a process I had been putting off for years. Such an easy, stress free experience with Ballantyne Law. Would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

MARINO LAW REVIEWS

I had the pleasure of speaking to Shaun Fergus today. Shaun quickly gained an understanding of my situation and his advice was succinct, relevant and professional. Shaun explained the issues in a manner in which I was easily able to understand. Also thanks to Darcie for her warm and welcoming telephone manner and professional follow-up. Highly recommend.

Marino has been great to work with. Very friendly admin staff and extremely talented and dedicated solicitors. They have helped our business navigate through some extremely tough times post Covid. Mark and Nicholas have been outstanding to work with in particular so I would highly recommend to anyone who values the above.

Marius and Sarah are true professionals and engage with sincere care and attention. Marino Law focuses on getting the job done efficiently rather than trying to find endless ways to bill you. Highly recommend, I couldn't be happier.

AFFINITY LAWYERS REVIEWS

I engaged the services of Affinity Lawyers to handle my mother's deceased estate and conveyancing matters. Melissa and the team were extremely professional, prompt and efficient yet displaying that sincere human quality throughout the entire process. For such a proficient and professional firm I found their fees to be very reasonable and I could not fault their communication. I would highly recommend Affinity Lawyers in an instant. Thank you Melissa and team for helping to make a difficult time a lot easier.

We've had the pleasure of retaining Affinity Lawyers for one of our matters and found them (especially Rianna) to be on the ball and responsive. Good advice given, at reasonable fees. And pleased with delivery of their service. Highly recommended.

Amie was just wonderful.. getting my Will and EPA sorted was so easy with Amie at Affinity Lawyers. She was so helpful, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks Amie.
