What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Traffic matters and serious criminal charges form the bulk of the casework described by clients of this Wollongong firm, and the accounts that stand out concern courtroom results and the support provided along the way. Vanja is named repeatedly as the solicitor who handled matters, with reviewers pointing to her efficiency, her directness and the thorough preparation she gave them before hearings.

Her cross-examination in one contested case is credited with bringing out the truth, while other accounts describe conditional release orders and reduced penalties in traffic and personal violence proceedings, results clients say protected their livelihoods. Sam Karnib receives credit for his professional service across a matter that ran over two years of adjournments, with reviewers noting that he maintained contact and explained each stage of the process.

A recurring observation is the speed of responses to questions, before and after court dates, and the clarity with which clients were told what was needed. Those facing charges for the first time describe feeling supported from their initial enquiry, with communication continuing through the stress of sentencing. The common thread is legal knowledge combined with warmth and genuine care for the individuals represented, whether the allegation involved a traffic offence or an assault charge.

Adam Ly advised me of my court date the night before my Court Case and said he was too busy to inform me...Very disappointing and appalling behaviour for a owner of a Law Firm!!! Answer to your insult is and I'm saying you are insulting me because you did not Stop demanding money and harassing me for more money which is disgusting.I provided my proofs to the law society and was advised to take it further but hard working Law abiding citizens like us have to work hard for our money not like you trying to put your hands in people's pockets.So I didn't have time for your small games. You are a, great talker and make promises you can't keep.Please people keep away from this firm!!!

I would like to thank Sam Karnib for his professional legal services. He was there from start to finish, even through 2 years of COVID and court being adjourned multiple times, he still kept in touch. He helped me understand the process and what was going to happen and helped me prepare for court. He was always reassuring and positive. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Great Lawyer and great bloke! Thankyou again!!

I used Vanja to represent me . She was very efficient didn’t waste my time. Got straight to the point suggested options on what we could do in court and suggested things I could do for court to get the best outcome. Highly recommended . Got me 100percent ready for court and had a great outcome . If I had to do it again I’d use Vanja .

Once again Vanja done what she does best, this is the second time Vanja has helped my family, she is awesome, professional and most of all REALL. While cross-examinating the other party she bought out the truth. I highly recommend Ly lawyers. I wasn't not even present but my phone has not stopped ringing from people asking me whom she is. Thankyou Vanja, thankyou Ly Lawyers. This lady is a keeper.

Vanja represented in the district court and she did an amazing and excellent job. Could not be so thankful for her for shortening my sentence and reducing my fines. She was very prompt with her responses and advise me I could her whenever I needed too. Adam and his team is amazing and are very passionate about their job! Highly recommend Ly Lawyers!! Love people who are industry just not for your money but absolutely passionate in what they do.

Vanja's performance in court today exceeded my expectations. A conditional release order for 12 months notwithstanding my traffic history. If I did not get this result I would have lost my licence for 8 months which would have jeopardised my livelihood. I could not have asked for a better result. Thank you Vanja for all your support and advice throughout this stressful period. My family and I appreciate your time and effort in looking after my matter. I highly recommend Vanja as my preferred lawyer. Many thanks Maher Muawwad
