What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Ramsden Lawyers covers a wide range of legal work, and the accounts left by clients cluster around immigration files together with family, estate and property matters. Visa applications, among them the 482 subclass and a later 186 application, are described by several customers as being handled with clarity, with Marley Fenn named for keeping the steps simple and spelling out each stage plainly.

Matilda is thanked for courteous and prompt guidance on partner and skilled migration pathways, setting out the options along with likely costs and timeframes, and Lauren is credited with answering questions quickly and offering steady reassurance while a visa was in progress. On the family side, Marius Eden is praised for combining professional rigour with genuine compassion through a separation, a property settlement and parenting arrangements, while Jade is acknowledged for careful work on a probate matter that was administered across state lines.

A conveyancing client records that Maya and the wider team kept communication open, gave a detailed estimate of costs and completed a Queensland sale without difficulty. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is availability for questions and dependable communication throughout, and the recurring theme across these Bundall files is efficient, well-organised work on immigration matters.

I had a very good experience with this law firm. Everyone was professional and helpful, but I would like to especially thank Marley for her support. She was always kind, patient, and clear when explaining everything. She made the process much easier and gave me confidence throughout.

The worst lawyer. Last year I found them to help me to do my Visa case. I knew it was not easy case. The barrister was keep say 80% can win even after the hearing. I pay almost $100,000 on this case. Every week keeps sending me new bills. At the end, i still lost the case. I accept the result, because i knew it was hard case. Before I back to my country, I still try to pay all of the bills which I should pay. Last week, I received a new email from home-affairs, it says I still need to pay almost $4000 to Federal Circuit Court! I have no idea why I still owe them money, then I send email to my solicitor, until now still no people answer me. If you have choice, don’t choose them if you want to win.

Amazing experience with Ramsden Lawyers Gold Coast team including Matilda, Marley and Lauren. Professionalism at it best. I have received my 482 visa with the help of Ramsden lawyer team and looking forward to apply for 186 visas with them as well.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Marius Eden over the past three years through what has been one of the most challenging periods of my life—navigating a divorce, property settlement, and parenting orders. From the very beginning, Marius demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, deep legal expertise, and genuine compassion. Throughout a very unpredictable and often non-responsive situation with my now ex-husband, Marius consistently looked out for the best interests of both myself and my children. His advice was always thoughtful, considered, and grounded in experience. He took the time to explain each step of the process and ensured I felt supported and informed throughout. What stood out most was his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome, not just legally but personally. Marius's calm, strategic approach helped bring clarity and stability during an otherwise turbulent time. I am incredibly grateful for Marius’s guidance and support, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate family law expert.

I was recommended to speak with Matilda from two of my workmates as I have been trying to decipher various visa processes to get my overseas girlfriend a permanent position here in Australia. As soon as Matilda picked up the phone she was courteous and professional. Quickly hearing our situation, she offering various methods of action, explaining the cost and approximate time taken for each. Following our conversation on the phone, she sent me an email detailing each of the topics we had discussed with links to various helpful resources. I would absolutely recommend Matilda and her colleagues and will be sticking with them through the whole visa process going forward.
