Stacey Cargill would have to the slowest active communicator I had to deal with via my own legal counsel. Any future transaction with her being involved will be cancelled.

I can’t recommend Kellin highly enough. From the very beginning, he has been not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in his clients. His guidance has always made complex matters feel manageable, and he approaches everything with professionalism and integrity. It’s rare to find someone who truly cares, and Kellin is one of those people.

I’m beyond grateful for his support and expertise over the years.

We are repeat customers of Kellin and Artisan Legal, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. From drafting our wills to handling legal conveyancing for our properties, Kellin has been our trusted go-to for all things legal. But what truly sets him apart is not just his expertise—it’s his unwavering personal commitment to his clients as individuals, not just as transactions.

His insights come not just from a place of legal knowledge but from genuine care and understanding, which in turn eases a lot of the anxiety that comes with navigating legal complexities. Kellin and his team are also incredibly efficient, responsive, and proactive. Their communication is always clear, timely, and reassuring. What amazed us the most was when we had an urgent property matter on a Sunday—Kellin didn’t just acknowledge our request, but he got back to us with thorough, well-researched advice on the very same day.

If you're looking for a lawyer who truly supports you, Kellin and Artisan Legal are the ones to trust!

Kellin and his team was recommended to us, as we were having communication issues with Teracon Legal back then. We were really glad they took our case (property). Everything was explained well, advised our next steps and best possible solution. Very helpful and communication was outstanding. We don’t have to follow up or chase them. They were always on top of everything. Thanks Kellin and team for your outstanding services.

We had a fantastic experience with Kellin from Artisan legal. He made our Wills and Power of Attorney a smooth and easy process. He was very informative and answered all our questions clearly. He was very flexible and allowed us to do virtual appointments where possible. They were very fairly priced and we feel we got great value for money given all the questions we had. We feel very confident that our future is in safe hands and highly recommend anyone who needs these services to get in touch with the team at Artisan.

I had high hopes for this firm after seeing great reviews about their seamless service but after booking in to discuss estate planning on two separate occasions and them not showing up to the online appointments both times and they also did not contact me to let me know what happened or offer a new time or meeting with someone else instead I'm left feeling disappointed and will now be taking my business elsewhere

Their reply below states they phoned me, unfortunately they did not and I actually had to call them after no one had shown for the appointment 5 minutes in and they told me the solicitor would be a couple more minutes before joining. I called them again after a further 10 minutes had passed when the solicitor had still not joined the call and told them I'd be going elsewhere given the complete disregard for my appointments two separate times.

I worked with Kellin and Christopher for the sale of one apartment and the purchase of another over the course of three months, and I have been so appreciative of the guidance and support for both.

I had never sold a property before, and only purchased one previously, and I had a lot of questions and concerns. The team supported me throughout the process, answered all of my questions and took the time to ensure that I knew what the next steps were.

I found Artisan Legal to be cost effective, responsive and a pleasure to work with, and I would happily work with them again.

I’d like to thank Kellin for his calm, thorough and professional approach when I updated my will and EPA in the past weeks.

It was a seamless process. Kellin was clear and concise when answering my questions.

He’s a very affable person and communicates well.

I also appreciated the pricing as I have paid double for previous services. The pricing is affordable and reasonable from my perspective.

The other staff I encountered whilst waiting for my appointment were also friendly and polite.

Artisan Legal provided exceptional service throughout our revent house purchase. Their communication was top-notch, ensuring we were informed every step of the way. The seamless process and excellent service made our experience truly remarkable. Both Kellin and Paul navigated the process with ease. I have used 4 or 5 conveyancers in the past for purchases, I dont intend on ever using anyone else aside from Artisan. Highly recommend Artisan Legal for conveyancing needs! Thanks Kellin and Paul.

I have referred my clients to Kellin Kristofferson for estate planning - preparation of wills and enduring powers of attorney. My clients appreciate Kellin's professionalism, sensitivity, and ability to articulate complex estate law.

I also refer clients to Paul Salinas to advise on SMSF property transactions. Paul's deep knowledge of both conveyancing and superannuation are a valuable resource.

I’ve had very mixed experience with Artisan Legal, first of all their people seem to be really competent and know their stuff whenever I can reach them. But at the same time they also seem to be incredibly busy, I usually need to reach out multiple times via email, phone, voicemail before I can get my questions answered. I understand my conveyance enquire may not be a big job so would be low on the priority list, but so far my experience doesn’t make me want to do any further business with Artisan Legal.

I have to say, if there was a 1000-star option for reviews, I would give it to Kellin in a heartbeat!

Last year was a particularly tough time for me, but Kellin was there every step of the way, helping me navigate the legal waters. His expertise and attention to detail were truly unparalleled, and I felt confident knowing that I was in good hands. But what really sets Kellin apart is the personal touch that he brings to every interaction. I never felt like just another client - I felt like a valued friend.

So, Kellin, thank you for being an outstanding lawyer and an even better human being.
