What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Nevett Wilkinson Frawley Lawyers draws consistent praise for the way family law matters and property transactions are handled. Much of the feedback centres on separation and property settlement, where clients were helped to understand their entitlements and given considered advice on parenting arrangements. Conveyancing for buying and selling a home, wills, powers of attorney and the administration of a parent's estate are also frequently cited. A theme running through the feedback is how clearly each step and the available options were explained, so that clients felt secure in their position.

Philippa Holm, Curtis, India, Ben and Peter Glare are named for their patience, honesty and compassion during stressful periods. Several accounts note that the guidance is practical and commercially aware, including one account of a lease dispute resolved through mediation without unnecessary expense. Responsiveness to questions, attention to detail and the teamwork shown when colleagues confer on a matter are recurring themes. Fees are described as fair, and outcomes are said to match what was discussed beforehand, with estate administration, family law and property work appearing most often in these accounts.

Unfortunately, our family did not have a positive experience dealing with this firm during the administration of our late father’s estate. At what was already a stressful time, we found the experience unnecessarily challenging and negative. Communication was poor and required repeated follow-up. The written advice was frequently overly complex and difficult to understand, lacking the clarity and empathy we expected. This review reflects my honest opinion based on my family’s experience. Unfortunately, based on that experience, I would not recommend this firm.

Harrison was a brilliant asset to us throughout our due diligence phase of a commercial property purchase. Being interstate, he gave us the reassurance on being across all of the VIC legislation and we will not hesitate in using his services again in the future. Thanks Harrison!

I highly recommend NWF Lawyers. I have used NWF many times including conveyancing when buying and selling properties, Wills, setting up Power of Attorney, etc. They are always professional, have excellent communications skills, are knowledgeable in all aspects of their fields and provide valuable information when needed and requested. Special thanks to Peter Glare and his team at Beaufort.

I can’t thank Philippa Holm enough for her professionalism, honesty, and dedication. From the very beginning, she was patient, kind, and always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. Philippa took the time to listen, explain every step clearly, and ensure I fully understood my options. I felt supported every step of the way and knew I was in good hands. Her attention to detail and genuine care made a stressful situation so much easier. I highly recommend Philippa Holm to anyone in need of legal help — truly outstanding service.
