Dear Fiona - I would like to sincerely thank you for your invaluable assistance in achieving a successful outcome in my marriage separation. Separating from my wife was undoubtedly a challenging process, however your expertise and guidance made it feel seamless. You consistently provided me with confidence and reassurance that we were progressing in the right direction. Equally important, I greatly appreciate the genuine compassion you showed towards the well-being of both me and my children, who were understandably impacted by the situation. I am extremely satisfied with the result and deeply grateful for your support throughout. Thank you once again Fiona and the Haven Legal team!!

Haven legal were fantastic from the word go! Phone calls and emails were answered promptly and the service was fantastic. Adelle came out to the aged care facility and helped my aunt to grant her final wishes. It has been months of struggles to have someone come out to a person who is bedridden and 92 years of age to organise a will. After one phone call and a week later my aunt now has a new will and she has finally been granted her last wish. Thanks again Adelle ❤️

What I thought would be an excruciating experience of organizing my will, turned out to be the exact opposite. The process was so seamless and easy. I started the process online, which helped me make a booking. The first step of communication was from Jane who was so fantastic at giving me all the information I needed to start the process. I then met in person with Adelle to finalize it all. Adelle explained everything so thoroughly and added a level of empathy to the process which was comforting. If you are considering making a will - honestly, look no further. The process was so easy and professional with the team at Haven Legal, that at the end of the process, I sighed with relief. A massive thank you to Adelle and the team.

Brittany assisted us with the property purchase. She is quite through with her work and helped us guide through every step of the process. She was very approachable and answered our queries in a simple, straightforward way. She made the whole experience smooth from the initial contract review right through to settlement. I thank Brittany and highly recommend her services.

I highly recommend the team at Haven Legal, particularly Abdul from their Preston office. Having been recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I contacted the Haven Legal team to help with estate planning. Abdul’s knowledge, professionalism and empathy, made what might have otherwise been a daunting task at a challenging time, so much easier. All questions were answered, everything was explained clearly and there were no surprises on the price. I cannot speak highly enough of the Haven Legal team. Thank you Abdul and David for your support.

Tabitha and her team at Haven Legal are nothing short of outstanding. Not only did they effectively manage our financial livelihood with dual simultaneous settlement but gave me and the wife every confidence throughout the process. Tabitha’s attention to detail from reviewing Section 32 to Contract of Sale and ultimately representing us at settlement ensured I had full trust in our legal position. I highly recommend Tabitha and Haven Legal, your 100% in good hands!

Sincerely, the most comforting experience in selling my home. You don't know what you don't know, but Tabitha knew. There were some curly issues in just days prior to settlement, but Tabitha handled all the legal details, and was able to provide reassurance to me at the same time. Haven Legal Co. was referred to me by my sister and brother-in-law. They ended up not buying a property because of Tabitha's careful scrutiny of the contract of sale and the searches about it. I have no hesitation in recommending Haven Legal Co. to sell your property based on my experience.

Great and reliable service! We have used Tabitha from Haven Legal Co. 4 times for her conveyancing services including buy and sell. She has been truly exceptional at reviewing the contract and protecting our interest if anything was to go wrong and a smooth settlement day. She is organised and reliable which is the most important attributes when going through the stress of purchasing or selling a property. Separately Adele assisted in documentation for a guarantor loan and was exception and thorough.
