Absolutely horrifying ! Please reconsider setting foot near these people!!! We have had so much difficulty dealing with this very unprofessional firm. Sending cheques to wrong banks & using incorrect bsb details just to make a few grievances. We have attempted to call and get updates all the way through this probate which is now going past well over a year with hardly any contact from staff at all. If we have been contacted they are dismissive and rude. We have been so distressed by the lack of communication and errors by this firm after the loss of a dear family member. I would never wish the treatment they have given us on anyone. Absolutely heartbroken that we have trusted this company, we have been treated so poorly and it has caused us so many sleepless nights. I urge you to look elsewhere from the bottom of my and my family’s hearts!

Needed a lawyer/conveyancer for the purchase of a new property. Lees & Givney were recommended by my brother who had used them for a similar purpose. I found their specialist conveyancer excellent. She was knowledgeable, helpful, easy to communicate with and I felt like I had someone looking after my interests. Happy to recommend them.

I cannot thank Lauren Dennis enough for all her help, support and professional knowledge in guiding me through one of the most overwhelming experiences i have had to deal with. I was able to Sell and Buy on the same day, and then settle on the same day as well - she totally covered it all for me. Thank you Lauren.

I have nothing but praise for the help received through the recent sale of the family home. The team at Lees and Givney, and in particular, Lauren Dennis who handled the conveyancing, are outstanding. Lauren's advice and communication during the sale period helped me to navigate a complex process with ease. Thank you so much!

We have been clients of this firm for nearly a decade. They have represented us for different issues – wills, conveyancing, debt collection, etc. Thru the years, we have always been impressed with their professionalism. Lucille Lees is an excellent solicitor with her practical advice and no – nonsense approach on issues. She leads a lean but highly competent team that has always been patient and helpful with us. Special mention goes to Lauren Dennis who is a top notch conveyancer and to Patty for her valuable assistance. We highly recommend this practice.

My experience with Lauren was exceptional!! I couldn’t recommend a better person to deal with! After following a previous recommendation to see Lauren, I now understand why she was recommended. Her service, prompt responses and attention to detail was never gone unnoticed. Being first home buyers, Lauren had extensive knowledge in all aspects to successfully settle on the property. I will definitely continue to use her in the future and will be in my recommendation list for friends and family! Highly recommended!

I can’t speak highly enough of Lucille and her amazing team.

Lucille agreed to take on my family law matter after my previous solicitor suggested I should consider finding a family law specialist. The matter was messy and complicated but Lucille quickly sorted through the file and I felt confident that I was in very capable hands. Lucille’s knowledge and expertise resulted in an excellent outcome at the court ordered mediation.

Lucille and all her team are caring, compassionate and friendly and had my best interests at heart at all times.

I would recommend Less & Givney without hesitation.

We had an extremely positive experience with both conveyancing services and the writing of our Wills. The staff were always patient, kind and willing to answer our questions, even at short notice. They were flexible in communicating over the phone or via email and always ensured we were as informed as possible. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Told Ms Lees the situation. In return was ripped off. She charged about 1K for 1.5 hour meeting. Been ringing for several weeks, emails and calls were ignored, no decency to communicate. Eventually was told she's going on leave and most likely not take the case. If didn't want to take the case should have mentioned at the meeting instead of leaving me dangling. Wasted time and effort. Dishonest and disgraceful, only interested in making money from you. I would strongly advise not to waste your time with this firm. SHAME ON YOU

Some years ago we came to Lees and Givney to have our Wills done. We were more than impressed with the amount of information and legal issues that we were made privy of. Recently we have required their services again - this time for Conveyencing. Once again the firms diligents, expertise and timeliness was second to none. Also, it was very helpful that we were kept in the loop throughout the process. Everything occurred as per schedule and any issues along the way were handled professionally and quickly. Thank you to the Lees and Givney team! Maria and Ilze

Its a shame I can't rate negative stars. My Dad's will was kept by them; made the dreadful mistake of asking their advice re its execution. They provided an exorbitant quote for a very simple will, then when we declined they sent an even more exorbitant invoice, and would not release the will to us until it was paid, so so we had to pay out of pocket. Opportunists of the highest calibre.

I have used Lees and Givney over the past 13 months regarding the financial split of my marriage separation. They have been both professional and personal in helping me to deal with my ex with regards to hiding his finances etc over this period of time. If it wasn't for their thoroughness I would not have been in the good financial situation I am now in. I have no hesitation in recommending them for Family Law and now my Wills.

We highly recommend Lucille and the team.

Difficulty following basic client instructions which cost us financially. The licensed conveyancer at this firm appears to have difficulty comprehending the conveyancing process and certainly did not act in her clients best interests in our case. We will certainly be using one of the many other firms in the same local area for any future matters.
