We found Hartwell Legal enormously helpfully, friendly and patient. They obviously know their work very well. We are grateful to have such skilled understanding and assistance.
Ever grateful for the incredible service provided by Katerina and the Hartwell team in guiding me after my father passed away. I live on the other side of the world, so I feel very lucky to have found someone ethical and kind who could take the reigns and provide sound advice when unexpected twists and turns arose. I cannot emphasize enough how reassuring it was to be in such trustworthy hands when travel to Australia was not an option. I found Katerina through a Google search so I am more than pleased to add another 5-star review!
In our time of grief after the loss of our father, Hartwell Legal was a godsend. Both Katerina and Alexia took care of every detail both compassionately and professionally. We knew what was happening every step of the way due to their diligence and honesty. I could not recommend Hartwell Legal highly enough. Thank you! Jude Anderson
Katerina and her team acted with kindness and compassion throughout their handling of our case. Katerina needed to think outside of the box on numerous occasions, she fought so hard for us and never gave up. Highly highly recommend to anyone needing legal help. Thanks again Katerina, we are so grateful for your help through a very difficult time.
Harwell Legal helped my husband and I with our will. They were extremely professional & provided valuable advice on framework of our will to ensure best interest of the recipients would be maintained during will execution. Each stage was completed in a timely manner and our long list of questions addressed very patiently. Highly recommend Hartwell Legal and the entire team.
We used Hartwell Legal, to assist with winding up our mother’s estate and to ensure that our subsequent estate planning was appropriate. Dealing with Katerina and her staff was a pleasure. Sound advice was provided. The lines of communication were very clear and all the work done was completed carefully. I would highly recommend this firm for all estate matters. Tania
Katerina is one of the kindest and most ethical lawyers and colleagues I have the pleasure of knowing and working with. I have and continue to recommend Katerina to friends and family as I trust her implicitly, and know that she always holds her client's best interests at heart.
Katerina is an accredited specialist in the area of Wills and Estates and I trust that you would not be in safer hands, nor be with a more knowledgeable lawyer if you went elsewhere.
Thank you, Katerina, for looking after my loved ones and continuing to do so.
I can recommend Katerina for her expertise in Wills and Estates, but more importantly, the care and consideration she gives to personal relationships, choices and preferences - and how these might affect the way things are done.
Excellent outfit. Can unreservedly recommend Hartwell Legal. Outstanding personal service.
Thorough, compassionate and very professional in approach. I highly recommend their services.
Top quality person and ethical trusting lawyer. Highly recommend to assist anyone who needs a will.
Katerina and Hartwell Legal are fantastic. If you are after caring people who really know and specialise in wills and estates then look no further. They have done so such a good job that more and more of my family are going to them. Thank you! I feel much better knowing they have your guidance and advice!!!
Katerina, Elisha and the team are professional and efficient. They are very patient with my lack of legal estate knowledge and are always happy to answer the plethora of queries that I continually throw at them. I appreciate their patience and solid advice. I wouldn't hesitate to refer their services.
I highly recommend Katerina Peiros for handling any Wills & Estate matter you may have, I received straight forward and honest advice about my own claim, and it was given to me in a very caring and sympathetic manner.
Dodgy. Solicitor misunderstood case and failed to obtain crucial documents prior to assessing matter.
Still awaiting crucial documents which were received by solicitor last week, but which solicitor refuses to forward in a timely fashion, stating in her email of yesterday:
"As I said, the paperwork will be forwarded when I have time, I expect to be able to do it Thursday or Friday, as I am absolutely flat out until then."
Totally unsatisfactory and hampering my case by withholding my documents, as claims to be "flat out".
Have been awaiting documents since employing Katerina last November, so how long does it take to forward an email, or post documents via mail?
Zero care factor !
Simply the best at what they do, professional and prompt but above all genuinely polite and understanding, a great law firm.
The experts in Wills and estate matters. Could not have been more helpful to my family and patient when my father and a friend passed away. Totally focused on getting the right outcome for all.
