What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Property transactions dominate the accounts customers give of this Ballarat practice, with several describing conveyancing matters that proceeded without friction because each step was explained and updates arrived when promised. Bronwyn receives consistent credit for her handling of three quite different property files, while Lindy and Jack are named alongside her for keeping linked settlements on track, and Josh Curtis is remembered for the clarity of his explanations during a residential sale.

In employment matters, Benjamin Schier is repeatedly singled out for transparent advice and thorough preparation in unfair dismissal claims, with clients noting that he made a stressful process straightforward and secured results in their favour. James Remington draws comparable remarks for his knowledge and his habit of placing the client's interests first, working with colleagues such as Rhylee and Benjamin.

Further comments cover commercial support during a company's start-up phase and the administration of a deceased estate, where contact was maintained despite the client being in a remote location. Regular themes across these matters include responsiveness to questions, careful attention to detail and a friendly manner that left clients feeling their interests were protected. Something that features in review after review is how approachable the team is, whether the file concerns a property purchase or sale, a workplace dispute or an estate.

Bronwyn has assisted us so far with 3 property conveyancing matters - each quite different. We cannot recommend Bronwyn highly enough; she represents her firm with the highest professionalism as well as kindness and humility.

I had an excellent experience working with Ben Schier at Nevetts Lawyers. From the beginning, he was informative, clear, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. He made everything easy to understand and handled matters quickly and professionally. Most importantly, I’m extremely satisfied with the outcome and truly appreciate the guidance and expertise Ben provided along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable, and effective legal support.

I would like to thank Benjamin Schier for his knowledge & professionalism to my unfair work dismissal case against my former employer. Ben was well prepared for our online consultation up against a high end Perth legal team. The result was in my favour of reimbursement of lost funds. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who has a case of unfair dismissal.
