What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing and estate work dominate the feedback for this Geelong practice, with several customers describing property settlements that proceeded without stress. Madeleine Luppino is singled out for conducting due diligence that uncovered a significant error in a vendor's contract, resulting in revised terms and a negotiated discount over a building defect. Megan Palmer is praised for keeping a client informed throughout a sale and settlement, and for being retained afterwards on a purchase.

Estate matters draw repeated mention of Alannah Matchett, described as friendly and caring while keeping families updated at each stage, including during a will update and the administration of a parent's estate. Tristan Burke is noted for professional and practical advice on wills and estates, with communication described as clear and responsive. Judy Baker's conveyancing on a late parent's property is remembered for prompt and patient answers.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the depth of knowledge conveyed without pressure or rush, particularly in conveyancing queries, alongside attention to detail that made settlements straightforward. Clients repeatedly highlight being kept informed throughout, whether local or overseas, and the thoroughness with which legal requirements were explained when paperwork was prepared, with estate administration and will preparation emerging as areas where that care is most evident.

Thanks so much Alannah for taking care of our mum and dad’s estate. Your friendly and caring service was appreciated by our family and you kept us informed at every step.

Tristan Burke from Harwood Andrews provided professional and practical advice. This is when you need someone as experienced as Tristan to walk you through the process.

I needed to update my will and contacted a very good friend and she refered me to Harwood Andrews in Geelong. She recommended I discuss my requirements with Tristan Bouke as she and her family have conducted business with Tristan before. I explained to Tristan my requirements within my will. Tristan was very professional and explained every detail within the necessary legal requirements in setting up the paperwork and was very thorough. Within a week I received the draft of my will and again Tristan made sure there was no miss understanding and everything was in order. For my second and final meeting to execute the relevant paperwok Tristan explained the areas of the will that needed to be signed and where my two Power of Attorney have to execute as well. I have no hesitation in recommending Tristan to others for sensitive and detailed legal matters.

I can't speak more highly of our dealings with Harwood Andrews. In particular I would like to single out Alannah Matchett. Alannah was thoroughly professional and kept us informed at all times, even whilst we were travelling overseas. I should also mention Judy Baker who did the conveyancing on our late mother's property, Judy also answered inane queries promptly and with patience.

Tristan Burke and Kate Flett are top-tier when it comes to Wills & Estates. Super responsive, clear in their communication, and genuinely strategic in their approach. They make complex situations simple and are easy to collaborate with. You don’t need to chase them, they just get things done properly, on time, every time. I’ve only had great experiences working with them. What sets them apart is how invested they are, not just in the work, but in the outcome. They think ahead, flag issues early, and always act with your best interest in mind. They’re not box-tickers, they’re advisors who actually care. If you want smart, dependable, high-quality people in your corner, these are the ones.
