We are incredibly grateful to Elena for all the support she gave us throughout the purchase of our first home. She was always kind, responsive, and kept us informed every step of the way, especially as we worked towards our settlement deadline. Her communication and dedication made a stressful process so much easier. We would also like to sincerely thank Kelly, whose expertise and hard work were instrumental in getting everything completed on time. Together, they made an amazing team, and we always felt we were in the best hands. Thank you both for helping us achieve such an important milestone!
Very poor experience on conveayancing service. Absolutely not recommendable. I found the service careless, unprofessional, and difficult to trust. Communication was poor, follow-up was lacking, and I felt my concerns were not taken seriously. As a result, I was left dealing with a serious issue after settlement and facing significant additional costs. For a legal matter of this importance, this level of service was unacceptable. I would not use this firm again and would not recommend them. + The considerable time the firm refers to was largely spent after the issue was discovered and appeared directed toward denying responsibility rather than meaningfully resolving the situation My concerns were never about a new issue arising after settlement, but about incorrect and inadequate legal advice provided during the transaction, which only became apparent later when the consequences were discovered. My concerns were not simply about an issue arising after issue, but also about the quality of communication, the lack of clear explanation regarding relevant risks, difficulty obtaining responses, and delays in receiving documents that had been promised.(already complained this poor communication at that time, but your firm ignored my complaints)
I used Advocate Lawyers in Hobart for conveyancing and had a great experience. They were very helpful and easy to deal with. Special thanks to Yousheena for her support and clear communication. Their pricing is also very reasonable. Highly recommend!
We recently worked with the team at Advocate Lawyers for the sale of our property, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support. From start to finish, they were professional, clear, and incredibly easy to work with. A special thank‑you to Elena, who went above and beyond—especially when some unexpected last‑minute documentation was required by the council. She and the team jumped straight into action, helped secure the necessary documents, and liaised directly with the purchasers’ settlement agency to keep everything on track. Their extra effort made what could have been a stressful situation completely manageable. We truly appreciate the care and dedication shown throughout the entire process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Advocate Lawyers to anyone needing conveyancing or legal assistance. Highly recommended!
We’ve recently had some advice and documents prepared by Kelly and the team at Advocate Lawyers in Kingston. We have been extremely grateful for the time, expertise, flexibility and commitment shown by her and her office. Thank you Kelly for a pleasant, efficient and seamless process. Kind regards.
I’m really happy with the service I received from Elena. She is very friendly and approachable, and always takes the time to respond to my questions, even when she is busy. I really appreciate how prompt and reliable she has been throughout the whole process. It has been such a positive experience working with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to others.
We had a fantastic experience with Advocate Lawyers. They were very professional and understanding. Since I'm from interstate, they spent the time and worked with my busy schedule. In addition they were very knowledgeable in their field. Thank you again.
