What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People pursuing partner visas, permanent residency and other migration outcomes describe a practice that stays closely involved from the first consultation to the final decision. A detail many reviews return to is the thoroughness applied to forms and supporting documents, with mistakes identified before lodgement and advice that draws on long practical experience rather than general commentary. Shahen Davityan is named frequently for professionalism, clear explanations and dependable responses, while Alice is thanked for being reachable, efficient and ensuring appointments proved productive. Several customers describe assistance with wills and with contracts that required correction after earlier legal work, showing the firm operates across more than one area.

Communication stands out as a consistent strength: progress updates arrived without prompting, questions were answered promptly, and the sequence of steps felt orderly through lengthy and complicated matters. More than one review highlights the confidence that came from having each stage explained, particularly during visa applications where uncertainty is common. Long-standing clients, some of whom have dealt with the team for more than a decade, note sustained commitment and a willingness to remain available as circumstances changed, with support continuing until the results set out at the start were achieved.

We’ve been very grateful to Shahen and the team for helping us get PR. The services provided were professional and prompt. We couldn’t have been happier with the outcome, achieving one of our amazing dreams with his experiences and knowledge. We were so lucky that we met him just before our visa stream was changed and closed. Thus, highly recommend the services at Verde Lawyers.

I’m truly grateful for the outstanding service provided by Mr. Davityan and his team. They supported us through every step of the partner visa and permanent residency process as if they were part of our own family. Every piece of advice they gave was based on deep experience and knowledge. They reviewed every form and document we submitted with great care—nothing slipped past them, not even a single typo. Their email responses were always prompt and reassuring, which made a huge difference during such a stressful process. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Mr. Davityan. You’ll be in the best hands.

They are simply the best and very professional. I had 3 457visas refused before they got my case. It was tough, but Shahen and Julia put all their effort and we won my sponsorship in the Tribunal (AAT) and subsequently I got my PR granted. Thank you so much Verde Lawyers for your brilliant work. We will be eternally grateful!!!!
