What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Purchases of first homes, property sales and the preparation of wills recur throughout the accounts left by clients of this Hobart firm, alongside self-managed super fund transactions and a settlement that extended over several years. Customers in several reviews describe being guided through each stage of a conveyance as first-time buyers, with the team credited for making a complex process straightforward and for meeting a tight deadline tied to first home buyer stamp duty concessions.

Clear and timely communication is a theme that emerges again and again, whether through updates during a long-running matter or emails exchanged over the Christmas period so a settlement was not delayed. Dana, Allie and Paula are named repeatedly for their professionalism, patience and readiness to explain matters in plain language. Attention to detail in drafting wills and reliability across multiple property transactions come up often, as does the courteous manner in which enquiries are handled from the outset. Clients also note the persistence and compassion shown when a matter becomes stressful, and many indicate they would engage the firm again for future property and estate work.

I would sincerely like to thank Paula Sutherland & Associates Lawyers and those involved in the selling of my home. They were professional, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any questions I had. The experience was very straightforward and well managed. Highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing at supporting us navigating the process of buying our first home! We were in a unique situation where we needed to have our house settled before the 30th of June before the stamp duty concession was no longer available for first home buyers in Tasmania. Our conveyancers were prompt, reliable, and information which supported a quick and smooth sailing process. We would highly recommend!

The biggest waste of money, unfortunately no option for 0 stars. Paula was working for another company and spent over a year dragging out my case against Clements Landscaping, racking up charges and kept stalling on going to court. Clements Landscaping worked at Claremont House, built a fountain that leaked water, steps that didn’t comply with building code and a waterfall (no permits) from mudstone that eroded due to water movement. Glenorchy council condemned the waterfall and it had to be removed and Paula still didn’t take it to court. She came across as sincere and empathetic while making a lot of money for her company. She wanted engineers reports which I organised and still stalled on taking the case to court. I couldn’t afford to maintain the case with all of her legal costs.

I would like to sincerely thank Paula and Sutherland Associates for assisting me during a challenging time towards the end of my settlement. With respect and gratitude, my settlement was completed successfully with the help of Allie Brown, Paula, and their excellent team. I truly appreciate their support and professionalism, and I would highly recommend this firm to others.

I was recently represented by Manfred from Paula Sutherland and Associates. Manfred was a calm voice of reason, proactive and prompt in resolving my matter, reliable, easy to contact and talk issues through with. I felt incredibly well legally represented and supported through a very stressful issue. Can I also acknowledge the administration staff of the firm. Each I spoke with were kind, professional, attentive and very helpful. Altogether a 10/10 experience.

Had a great experience engaging the team at PSA law for conveyancing services with buying our first home. The team were very helpful at walking us through the process as first-timers. Thanks Dana, Allie and the team for getting us there.
