Patricia Galea completed both our wills and power of attorneys. She listened to our requests, was happy to make changes until we were completely satisfied with the wording and gave advice. The documents were completed in a timely manner. She was easy to deal with and the cost of her services was very satisfactory. I would use her services again.
I have used Galea and Faustin for various services since 2022. This includes estate planning, family matters and conveyancing. All of the team I've worked with are very responsive, compassionate and understanding with regard to my various legal needs and the advice they provide. No pushy sales tactics, just gentle suggestion at reasonable rates. I will continue to use them for my legal matters well into the future.

Patricia is absolutely amazing to deal with. I recently referred a client to her, and she went above and beyond in her support. Patricia was incredibly helpful, taking the time to thoroughly understand my client's unique situation. She provided insightful and comprehensive advice, outlining all available options. My client felt heard, supported, and well-informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Patricia for anyone in need of a compassionate and knowledgeable divorce lawyer.

Very supportive and helpful as first home buyers navigating the process for the first time. Really appreciated their guidance, efficiency and effectiveness.
I am very satisfied by the high professionalism and great quality and support services at Galea and Faustin Solicitors. Giulia has done an amazing job and has been an absolute delight to work with in my student visa application. She has provided me with essential and accurate advice and support all the way. I highly recommend the services of Galea and Faustin Solicitors. Deepest thanks for your dedication , hard work and assistance.
We are so appreciative of the professional service provided by Stacey Clough for the concurrent property sale and purchase processes we have just gone through . She was not only efficient and thorough but also thoughtful and genuinely happy for us as each step reached completion. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Stacey as a conveyancing lawyer
I would like to personally thank Patricia and her colleague Hamish for their dedication and help in processing my visa, taking care of my health insurance cover and so on. They are one of the best company who really care about their client. I recommend this company to anyone who don't understand the visa process and application. The lawyers are here to support, make you become knowledgeable in any matter.
I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone. My partner and I engaged Patricia to assist with a caveat on the property and her warmth, empathy , compassion and understanding of the serious and urgent nature of our problem was very reassuring to both us. Her guidance and instructions were clear and concise and we were able to navigate easily through the process. Her diligence and hard work has given us peace of mind in the new year so that we have time to sort out other legal issues. I would recommend her to anyone with any problems as she works fast and hard to get the results needed for her clients. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you Patricia. Sue and Zelko
Giulia helped (and when I say helped, I mean did absolutely everything) for our graduate visa application. Her communication was remarkable. We were never left on 'read' or waiting days for a response. She was always open, honest, very realistic and did not keep anything from us. For what could have been a very stressful time, Giulia made the whole process so smooth and easy. A true pleasure to deal with and will most certainly return for the next application. Thank you a million times, Giulia ❤
Many many thanks to Patricia and Oshini for their help, advice and support regarding my IVO. During this process I am so grateful to Patricia and Oshini for their support and understanding. I highly recommend Galea and Faustin Solicitors. Matt R.
I highly recommend Galea and Faustin Solicitors. They are very professional and take a personal interest in their clients. I dealt with Benjamin and Stacey and found them to be very knowledgeable and helpful at all times.
I'm very satisfied with their service and help from beginning to end (reviewing BFA and conveyancing service). Everyone that I had contact with in this company was friendly and helpful (special mention to Rose and Stacey) They were very patient in making sure I understand every step of the process since I was totally clueless. Pricing was reasonable, process was efficient.. in summary, I highly recommend this company.

I could not recommend Patricia, Rose and the whole team whom I had contact with more highly. All costs, potential variables and different options for how to proceed were explained really well. Always received prompt replies to any communication and a kind, caring approach that makes you feel supported and empowered when navigating legal processes. Genuinely warm, caring and highly skilled professionals.

The solicitor handled my family related matter, Rose was so helpful and she looked after me. She was always quick enough to communicate back and forth. Highly recommend.
Patricia was amazing and kept me up to date throughout the process of my late brother’s estate, I found Patricia extremely professional, positive, compassionate and a caring lady. Prior to using Galea & Faustin I was using another solicitor for the job where nothing got done and they did not communicate with me, I felt ignored and stressful , I was so grateful and relieved when I spoke to Patricia she got the job done! Have had experience with solicitors over the years and I can honestly say Patricia and her team are not just a firm who do a exceptional job, they treat the client with respect and understanding. Highly recommend Galea & Faustin need more stars for this firm
Regards Collette
Patricia was such a great help, to direct and guide me, to execute a binding financial agreement between my Ex husband in Qld and I in Victoria.

I will be using them again to execute my will.
