What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Conveyancing, estate administration, psychological injury claims and return-to-work disputes are among the matters that appear most often in feedback on this practice. Clients describe the conveyancing work as clear and straightforward, with Beck Andersen noted for a friendly approach to whatever arises during a sale. Caitlin Walkington receives credit for managing two estates following a death in the family, including for a client living overseas, and for keeping matters moving from a distance.

Across personal injury files, an aspect raised across a number of reviews is the reassurance people feel when Dominic Nasone and Maja explain each stage and respond to questions promptly; one account credits the team with a result exceeding what had been hoped for in a psychological injury claim. Updates are described as arriving without clients needing to chase them, including when banks and third parties are slow to respond. Millie and Melissa also feature in accounts of complicated matters, where clients describe being treated as members of the same household and having concerns addressed as they arose. Beyond technical knowledge, the readiness to help and the care shown through lengthy hearings are recurring strengths.

Our experience has been nothing short of amazing. We had the help of Erin and Chelsea with the sale of our house. The banks we were dealing with were difficult and unhelpful, yet we had these guys constantly keeping us updated, checking in and contacting the bank and third parties to make the process as smooth as possible and keep everyone informed. We have never sold a house and the entire process seemed very confusing however, Chelsea and Erin explained each process clearly for us to understand. Thank you so much for making a confusing and stressful time easy as possible.

Dominic Nasone - Personay Injury Lawyer. Thank you for your support and guidance with my RTWSA hearing. Your willingness to assist me, meant more to me than I can properly express. Beyond your legal expertise, it was your time, reassurance, and genuine care throughout the process that made such a meaningful difference. Navigating this situation has been incredibly challenging, and having someone of your professionalism and integrity in my corner gave me confidence when I needed it most. Much appreciated.

Millie, Melissa and Maja were my Team in what I felt was a very difficult and complicated case. But throughout the whole process I was treated like I was part of a family unit that had my back every step of the way. Everything was communicated very clearly, if something didn’t feel right, my questions were always answered and I was always reassured. The effort these ladies put into my case was phenomenal. Thank you team for such an amazing, smooth process at such a stressful time in my life! I am forever grateful!!!
