What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Australian Presence Legal draws consistent praise from clients across conveyancing, immigration and employment matters. A handful of customers describe the firm as thorough and professional, with Tamsin, Shanil and Shamili named repeatedly for their expertise and willingness to guide clients through complex legal issues in plain language. A number of reviews mention the clarity of advice, with contracts dissected and requirements explained carefully so that first-time buyers and visa applicants alike feel supported at every stage. Communication is a recurring theme: calls and emails are answered promptly, progress is updated regularly, and one client notes assistance was available even late at night.

A business customer working with the firm on setting up an Australian company remarks on the reliability and punctuality of the service, while another mentions fair pricing without hidden costs. The team is described as friendly and accessible, making intimidating legal processes feel manageable and even good-humoured. Immigration work, including a graduate visa, conveyancing for home purchases, employment contracts and company establishment all feature in accounts, with clients returning over several years for ongoing advice. Named staff, particularly Tamsin and Shanil, are credited with taking stress out of transactions and with caring genuinely about outcomes.

I have been using Tamsin at Australian Presence Legal for a number of years. She has assisted many of my clients with their conveyancing, as well as guiding me through my own personal legal matters. I have always found her to be an expert across all areas and the ultimate professional. Somehow, she manages to make complex legal issues feel simple—and even manages to do it with good humour. In a profession that can sometimes feel intimidating, Tamsin brings clarity, confidence, and just the right amount of calm. Highly recommended.

I’ve been with Australian Presence Legal for migration advice since 2019, and they’ve been fantastic. From the start, the team has made everything clear and easy to understand. They’re incredibly thorough and take the time to ensure you feel supported every step of the way. Their approach really helped take the stress out of a complicated process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional legal advice!

Tamsin and Shanil were both incredibly helpful during the entire process of settling my first purchase. They went above and beyond my expectations with excellent communication - making themselves available to help even late at night. I'd highly recommend using them for anyone requiring a solicitor when purchasing a home. Thanks again Tamsin and Shanil :)

Tamsin and Shanil gave us outstanding support and guidance in conveyancing a purchase of an investment property within our Self Managed Super Fund. This is not an easy process, and certainly presented more hurdles than we anticipated, all within an extremely tight timeline. I can't fault the communication, expectation management and all issues/challenges were swiftly acted upon to ensure a successful outcome. I knew where we stood at all times, and anything I didn't understand was explained clearly in 'plain speak'. Another reviewer commented that they made you feel like you had a personal legal team on standby for all your needs, and that's exactly what our experience was like also. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this team, and I would 100% use them again.

If you are not a multi-millionaire and have one, just Imagine that you have a personal lawyer, always at your disposal to deal with your legal needs in real time? That's how Shanil and his team makes you feel, like they were exclusively working for you. Quick, efficient, hassle free. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough! Thanks heaps team!

The Australian Presence legal team is always friendly and accessible. I need to specially mention Ms. Shamili's name here as she is very professional, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable in her subject. She always tries to help below and above the limits. So I would highly recommend anyone who wants their service.

Shamili and Shanil were some of the best advisors I've worked with. Their advice and analysis of the skilled migration route into Australia were excellent and extremely thorough. They went above and beyond to help me with advice that was not only curated for my specific purpose but also very personable. I would highly recommend them.
