Sharon Yu is our solicitor and she consistently goes above and beyond to assist us. We sincerely appreciate her professional support and dedication. We feel that she always puts herself in our shoes, which truly makes a difference. I highly recommend her to my friends and family.
I had the pleasure of working with Bell Legal and Lisa Kaddatz for my land settlement, and I truly can't thank them enough. Despite the challenges we faced—particularly with delays and issues from my lender—Lisa was outstanding throughout the entire process. She consistently went above and beyond, following up relentlessly with the lender, coordinating with the developer, requesting extensions when needed, and ensuring everyone stayed on track.
It was far from a straightforward settlement, but Lisa’s dedication, responsiveness, and persistence made all the difference. Thanks to her efforts, we successfully settled without losing the deposit or the land. I genuinely appreciate everything Bell Legal and Lisa did and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a committed and reliable legal team.
We were assisted by Belinda with a legal issue pertaining to property disbursement after death. She was extremely helpful and informative, and even though we could not use her services, she put us on track to find a resolution. We would definitely use her services in the future. Dave
Big thanks to Tom and Lisa for all the help. Cant go wrong with the team at Bell Legal.
Coby Brayshaw was our probate manager for my Fathers Estate,we met Coby at the office,& she instantly put us at ease ,with her warm manner & ability to explain things in relatable terms. Coby was always prompt in answering any questions we had & I had full confidence in her looking after our interest. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending her
Thanks Coby
I have had the pleasure of working with BELL Legal Group 3 times so far and they're as good as it gets. I've dealt with Veronica and Lisa from their property conveyancing departments, they are thorough, responsive and helpful. Fees are really reasonable and have had 0 hiccups! Highly recommend
I've had a wonderful experience with Coby Brayshaw from Bell Legal Group who handled the probate for my late mother's estate. She was a pleasure to deal with and showed great empathy at a very difficult time. Coby explained everything clearly and was always available to answer any questions or concerns. She was extremely professional and very considerate of my needs. I would definitely recommend Coby if you are dealing with a deceased estate as she makes everything stress-free and she is a genuinely lovely person. Thanks again Coby.
I found Bell Legal to be very convenient for me. They actually have a manned office which is open during business hours. Coby handled probate for me. She was very confident and experienced in this line of work. The entire process went smoothly and she was easy to deal with.
I've been using Bell Legal's service for many years since I lived there. On this occasion for the Conveyancing service, I chose them again even I have moved to Sydney for almost 10 years, they still performed very well. Lisa Kaddatz is so efficient, accurate, professional and polite, didn't disappoint me. And the fee they charged is very reasonable. I am so glad I reconnected with Bell Legal Group again. I will definite call them again when I need any legal service again.
Exceptional Visa Service! I am thrilled to share my experience with Bell Legal Group for their outstanding service in successfully processing my visa. From start to finish, the team was highly professional, transparent, and incredibly knowledgeable. They provided thorough guidance, addressing every question with patience and expertise. The attention to detail and dedication they put into my case was impressive and reassuring throughout the process. I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work, I am now officially on my way to Australia! I highly recommend Bell Legal Group to anyone seeking reliable and exceptional immigration support.

Used them for Probate. Very professional and very efficient. Not the usual legal firm that is all about money, fees, etc etc. They are very reliable and I will not hesitate to use them again for all my legal requirements.

James and Lisa helped us with our residential sale and purchase. Their communication was clear, very responsive & great strategic advice. I could not recommend them more highly.
I've had a wonderful experience with both Paige and especially Margaret Miller with some complicated family law matters. Margaret's knowledge and understanding was able to assist me and point me in the right direction and couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs legal representation.
The service and professionalism displayed from the get go, along with the patience and courtesy shown by Coby throughout the journey are truly reflective of an outstanding law firm and an excellent solicitors whom I would indeed highly recommend.
We had a fabulous experience working at Bell Legal Group with Emma and Dan in the Wills Trusts and Estate Planning team. They provided a very detailed and speedy work to our trust setup and very knowledgeable in this expertise. They are super friendly to work with and would recommend their services to anyone!
You know how confusing it can be when you have to deal with lawyers over Property? Not with Bell Legal! I worked with Meghan on the sale of a property in South Brisbane. She was fantastic. So fast and explained everything. Thank you Meghan and Bell Legal for everything!
We had a very good experience with Bell legal. We used the team for a property settlement post purchase. The process was seamless and the communication of all the staff was outstanding.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable legal assistance from Wangzhang Chew and Scarlett Gu. Your expertise and dedication made a significant impact on my case, and I am truly thankful for your guidance throughout the process. Your professionalism and attention to detail not only resolved my legal concerns but also provided me with a sense of reassurance and confidence.
Rob Ffrench helped us draft an agreement for engaging photography contractors, which we'd previously been struggling with due to certain IP requirements. He was highly responsive and great to work with, and, most importantly, provided us with a sound standard-form document at a competitive price point. I highly recommend Bell Legal for any small business seeking IP or commercial contract advice.
Had a great experience with Bell Legal Group.Their work with Dads probate matters and conveyancing were first class.special thanks to Coby and Jodi
Tom and Jodi from Bell Legal looked after our property purchase on the Gold Coast in November 2023. The purchase became far more complicated than we envisioned and we were very grateful that we engaged Bell Legal for their support. I highly recommend them.
The Bell Legal experience is like no other - efficient, great communication, keep you up-to-date in a timely manner and make property transactions seamless. Strongly recommend Jodi and the Bell Legal team for any property matters. Thanks again Jodi!!
Sadly l can't minus the star! Your behavior was so vexatious,so childish! Lucky l can stand up to this behavior!! Which wasn't necessary. Glad l got My Father's belongings. That all l wanted. Not to be belittled!!
Always fantastic service
Excellent highly recommended
Dealt with Veronica, she was great to deal with for the purchase of my property. Made everything very easy and smooth process on my end. Would highly recommend.
I have had the privilege of having Jodi Prins and the team at Bell Legal Group work very hard me in the sale of one property and most recently the purchase of another. Jodi's attention to detail, excellent professional advice and outgoing personality has made my life so much easier during what normally would be a stressful process. The team at Bell Legal is professionalism personified. I see my future in property investment and I will continue to engage this team in all my future endeavours. I cannot recommend Jodi and Bell Legal Group enough.
I've had the pleasure of working with Bell Legal over the past few years. I highly recommend their professional services and can attest to their extensive knowledge in the area of property law. My recent dealings with Veronica for conveyancing work was second to none. Veronica always demonstrates attention to detail and has a sense of urgency with regards to phone calls and emails. Their conveyancing fees are competitive and I dare say better than the conveyancing companies. Personally, I feel much more confident using a reputable, long-standing experienced law firm who is readily available and accessible when i need them.
Veronica was so professional and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend Bell Legal for the purchase of your home.
Veronica was amazing at helping me with my recent sale. She helped me with all my questions and made sure I understood everything clearly. She even made sure we could chat on the phone to confirm some details despite me being located in London. Highly recommed Veronica and Bell Legal Group
Highly recommended! Extremely knowledgeable, profession and friendly team. Thanks for your great services.
Veronica was amazing, walked us through and supported us at every step of purchasing our home on the Gold Coast while relocating from NZ. Highly recommend! Cassie and Tyler
Sharon helped us with the purchase of our first home. She was very patient, promptly responsive and straight with us. She made time for us to assist as witness for document signing, even over the Christmas period! They had competitive prices as well.
Provided advice on legal matters.

Highly recommend Bell Legal. Great Service Coby handled the closure of our late Mother's estate. Her professionalism, expertise and clear communications made for an efficient conclusion in a timely manner.
Highly recommend Bell Legal. This was my 1st purchase and I didn't know anything. Jodi expedited the process end-to-end and answered all my question in the way anyone could understand. She used simple words to explain complicated terms. She replied on my emails very quick and didn't hesitate to call and sort things on the go instead of writing emails.
Extremely pleased with the service provided in the process of buying our home unit in Surfers Paradise. Nothing was a problem and had a office appointment to meet Veronica and go over all the details of the sale.
Brilliant Service! We required conveyancing services in both selling and buying. Veronica was professional, helpful and always kept us in the loop. She returned our calls and responded to our emails immediately. We were very impressed with the service, the cost was reasonable and we highly recommend them to anyone.
