What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Hendersons Legal is portrayed by clients as a practice where conveyancing matters are managed attentively, from the initial contract review right through to settlement. Tim Connolly is named repeatedly, with reviewers describing him as patient, supportive and quick to respond, especially for first home buyers who felt out of their depth. Several customers mention that he breaks down legal jargon into plain terms and keeps them informed at every stage, including one instance where an urgent out-of-hours query arose and was taken on promptly. The firm's conveyancing work spans residential purchases and sales, commercial property and farm transactions, alongside wills and legal contracts.

David Henderson also appears in accounts, credited with steering clients through complicated matters involving compliance and insurer requirements. Something that features in review after review is how smoothly settlements unfold, which reviewers attribute to careful organisation and forward planning. Buyers note that obstacles beyond their control were pursued without delay, and that communication stayed fast and professional throughout. Melbourne clients who were selling and buying simultaneously describe feeling supported from the first conversation to the final handover, with stress eased by clear guidance at each step.

Tim did a great job managing the conveyancing of our commercial property. We gave him a very aggressive deadline and he was able to exceed our expectations. Great work Tim!

If you are looking for a lawyer to advocate strongly for the other party during a business sale, David may be the right choice. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. David appeared to have limited knowledge of the medical business sector, which was the industry involved in my transaction. If a lawyer is not familiar with a client's industry, this should be disclosed before accepting the engagement. Throughout the process, I often felt that I had to handle negotiations myself, despite paying substantial legal fees. I was charged for communications and negotiations that I largely conducted on my own. More importantly, there was very little strategic advice provided. No meaningful suggestions were made regarding key commercial terms such as purchase price negotiations, rent-free periods, lease conditions, annual leave entitlements, or other matters that could have improved the outcome of the transaction. Having recently purchased my second business and worked with a different lawyer, I now understand the value that an experienced business-sale lawyer can bring. My current lawyer provided significantly more guidance, support, and negotiation assistance while charging approximately one-third of David's fees. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend David for a business sale transaction, particularly in the medical industry.

Tim was instrumental in helping me purchase my first property. He walked me through the whole process, was incredibly supportive, patient and understanding. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking to make their first property purchase.

Very happy with Tim' Connolly for conveyancing. I was putting in an offer on a house when my CoS could not be reviewed by another firm - as they were already representing the owner. I contacted Tim urgently out of hours and he quickly jumped in to assist me. He was kind, attentive and broke down legal jargon so I could understand. He checked in throughout the process, it was easy to work with him - thank you Tim

I would highly recommend Tim at Hendersons legal. He recently assisted us in the purchase of our new home. I found him to be professional, efficient, friendly and a complete delight. He made the whole process stress-free. Thank you Tim.

I have just sold my property and engaged Tim Connolly for the conveyancing. He did a magnificent job. Everything was completed in a timely manner with great attention to detail. Tim is very accommodating and very easy to work with. Everything went very smoothly. Great job and thank you for your services.
