What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing, business acquisition and boundary disputes are among the matters clients bring to this Hobart firm, along with family and estate issues. Lucy M. is singled out for making a first home purchase feel manageable rather than daunting, explaining each step in clear terms. Ryan Hartigan draws similar appreciation for guiding a quick settlement past unexpected obstacles, with his knowledge and efficiency noted. Caitlin is credited with helping a family secure a business, described as informative and focused on achieving a favourable outcome. Matthew Sea is valued for setting out options and clarifying positions.

Andrew Isle receives recognition for a boundary fence dispute, offering sound advice and a letter of demand, including sensitivity to a veteran client's circumstances. Alex Cordova appears often in accounts of complex matters, thanked for consistent updates, precise feedback and respectful treatment over lengthy proceedings. Sophie is respected for keeping costs down in a contested custody matter. A recurring theme is the trust clients place in the practice, with several returning for further work or naming individual solicitors they would engage again.

Sophie was my lawyer in a high conflict custody case. She did not have much time for back and forth irrelevant emails or calls, which has pros and cons. I have utmost respect for her keeping the costs pretty low!

Had to take my last review done due to Legal Intimidation. Unfortunately I’ve had to deal with Alex Condova in which other party hired. I’m a Beneficiary & my concerns over the misuse of my sons Estate has only seen my funds for funeral expenses been held on me, bills not paid & just down right rudeness, no respect for the grieving family or no Empathy at all. It’s been a total nightmare dealing with this firm. Highly recommend others if dealing with an Estate.

I initially made contact with Maddison (PA) in regard to a boundary fence dispute I was tolerating, Maddison promptly acted, and I was soon in discussion with Andrew Isle (Partner) about my boundary issues. As a Veteran, Andrew acknowledged that this matter had a profound effect upon my PTSD acted genuinely to alleviate any stress by offering sound advice and counsel. On my behalf Andrew drafted a letter of demand detailing the path for resolution. The letter was delivered and the problem resolved with minimal fuss which required no further action by myself. In any matter of civil dispute, I cannot encourage or recommend any more highly that you reach out to Andrew and Maddison at Butler McIntyre and Butler.

Lucy M. was my solicitor for buying my first home, and she was amazing! What felt daunting and super overwhelming at first ended up being smooth and stress free, thanks to her! Lucy was kind, easy to talk to, and knew exactly what she was doing. She was able to answer any question we had and really talked us through every process in ways that were so clear. Can't recommend her enough. Butler m and butler is lucky to have her!

I saw Kim Baumeler on a TV program so I trusted her. she was instructed to compare my objections to the Supreme court's remark and prepare an appeal in High Court. she dismissed all the chances. later Supreme court informed me that the copies sent to Baumeler were not containing the grounds of the Original Appeal. Thus it was impossible for her to compare my objections with the court's remark. To make sure I am not mistaking I emailed her and asked if she had read my grounds. she confirmed in details that she did. when I confronted her she refused to pay me back. I lost $20,000. I deeply regret hiring/trusting her.

She's an absolute asset to the team.
