We needed a law firm who weren’t afraid to deal with a government agency. We contacted Navado lawyers and spoke with Peter about this matter. Peter was very professional and honest with us about our situation. If you are looking for a lawyer who is professional and honest please call this company. You will not be disappointed. Can’t recommend them enough.

Peter was the first to respond to my initial queries and went on to provide the most excellent service imaginable. His knowledge of the law, legal processes and its nuances was (weirdly) a delight to be a part of. An excellent lawyer and an admirable person as well.

I contacted Peter regarding an education matter. From the moment he took over the issue to the moment we received a favorable decision, we experienced high professionalism and knowledge throughout the process. He spent a lot of time and effort to achieve the right outcome, and I would give him a five-star rating in all aspects. After assessing the genuineness of my matter, he charged a reasonable service fee. The communication was easy and prompt. Overall, Navado is a great place for legal aid, and I highly recommend them.

The initial consultation was fee free but the firm principal made sure to extract a fee for some as it turns out, useless services. The work done was haphazard and when I pointed out the errors was told that "it didn't matter anyway". When I attempted to move forward at a later date with the legal matter emails were unanswered and phone calls were not returned. This seems to have been the experience of other clients as well.

I have and extremely high praise for Katrina Stafrace. Her professionalisms, confidence, support and excellent appearance are clearly achieved and well deserved. I have been offered more than one hour free consultation, she was taking notes carefully on every and each detail, I have been given the opportunity to express, explain and ask all questions I need to. I have been given a clear vision of all options that I have. She was so friendly and supportive and gave me as much time as needed. Her support even went further than just a consultation, she offered her support in many other services. ALL WAS FOR FREE!!! I haven’t been requested to do any payments. Other lawyers in their consultations will just tell you that you won’t be able to get a true legal advice for free, they will spend 15 minutes and ask for payments after that. I totally recommend Navado and Katrina in particular. Thank you Katrina for all your support and efforts you have given.

Called to get advice regarding an employment matter. I was provided with detailed advice and information on services provided, as well as different option to me and the prices. Extremely helpful and patient with me as I have no knowledge of this area. I ended up engaging their services and found communication to be great, I was constantly updated on what was happening and they provided me with great legal advice on each step that needed to be taken and explained it clearly to me in a way I could understand. I recommend Navado to everyone, and I will definitely be calling them in the future if I require legal help or advice.

I recommend Navado lawyers to anyone may need legal advice as their provided great support to my complicated case. I was desperated to seek urgent legal advice last July, Navado is the only law firm that offers free initial consultation and the most affordable rate among all firms that I contacted. Mr Ben Andrews handles my case from the beginning to finish. He is very professional, reliable, and giving clear advice; very promote in reply emails and phone calls. The case went much longer than what I expected, he was alway on my side to help and genuinely cares about my frustration & stress. After 6 months long journey, we finally got a great victory from the court and settled with fair terms. Thank you Mr Ben Andrews and the team for your great help on my case!

Yesterday I was represented by Kimballey - It was wonderful to have someone who took care of me, guided me and advised me. The whole time, she made me feel reassured and relaxed knowing I was in the best possible hands. Yesterday's positive result wouldn’t have been achieved without the expertise and professionalism Kimballey showed.

Kimballey and Luke from Navado have handled my legal issues with an extraordinary professionalism and patience that I have truly appreciated. They took the time to listen and were very personable. I was talked through the matter step by step and my options carefully explained at each stage. The substantial range of resources available at the firm are impressive and proved extremely useful. Costs were clearly laid out and stuck to without any surprises. When the matter heated up they were able to draw on the wealth of experience at their firm to make sure I was receiving the best possible service. I could not be more happy with outcome and the way they have helped me through the proceedings.

This brief note is to show our appreciation to the Navado Team, and in particular to Amelia Kerridge, Kayla Harvey and Ben Andrews, in handling the sale of our property at Hunterford Estate, Oatlands, NSW in a stress-free and professional manner. Ours was a somewhat complex case as my wife, who owned an equal share is an Australian citizen while I am not, added to which we live overseas. These created some unique challenges which Navado managed very well without giving us sleepless nights. Amelia was in contact with us all the way through despite the 5 1/2 hour time difference between our 2 countries. Our circumstances were such that we had to place our entire trust on Amelia and her Team who we had never met until this day. The due diligence process was smooth and friendly yet very professional. The Legal and Admin aspects were handled very smoothly, resulting in the sale and settlement being concluded in a seamless manner.In summary, we consider our decision was perfect to engage Navado to manage the conveyancing process and that they proved their competence well beyond doubt.

Navado Lawyers & Solicitors are a Professional Law Firm. From the urgent online enquiry on the companies web page and initial phone call to discuss our urgent matter on a Sunday evening within minutes the Principal Lawyer Peter Zada called us to discuss our matter and arrange an immediate meeting on the next day with one of his specialist team members. Costing was discussed and full disclosure was provided on the initial call.

Our Solicitor was hand picked for his expertise in our case, from our first meeting to the final stage of our case Patrick Pagin looked after our case in a professional manner guiding us throughout our problem step by step taking away any stresses we were feeling due to his in-depth knowledge, skills in court defending us. We have no hesitation in recommending Peter Zada and Patrick Pagin of Navado Lawyers and Solicitors as we have met a Law Firm and Lawyers that care about their clients and their problems from A to Z.

Choosing Navado Lawyers was a great choice. Met with Kimballey Thams for my first appointment (no cost) was very pleasurable, greeted me with a friendly smile and made me feel very welcome. She understood straight away when I explained my case and nothing was a problem. Everything was explained to me how they work and what they can provide for me in a very professional manner. Patrick Pagin who also works with Navado was working on my case. I felt a little intimidated by him at first.....but as time went on he was fantastic! Very positive and thorough at all times. Both Kimballey & Patrick will be very successful Lawyers, and what a wonderful team they are. Thank you both for your excellent work!

I contacted Navado Lawyers and I had a first interview with Marta Nottidge (at no cost :-). She was very welcoming and understood the case really quickly. She was very realistic and up front in terms of expectations and costs. As soon as I decided to go forward with them, Patrick Pagin took over, we talked over the phone to clarify some details and then via email exchanges. Everything was done with extreme professionalism and clarity. At the end, we obtained the desired result. I will definitely use Navado Lawyers again, no doubt about it.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know of my experience with Mr Peter Zada and his Team (Kimballey). Far too often, people are eager to write letters or make a phone call to complain, but I wanted to take the time to write to let you know that I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr. Zada. Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient in explaining the status and details/developments of my case.

Upon settlement of my case, I felt that it was a fair settlement outcome and that Mr. Zada did everything in his power to ensure this process had truly been as smooth and comfortable as possible. Every step along the way, I was kept informed of the progress, promises were maintained, copies of communication between Navado and the defendants representatives were always sent to me...I could not have asked for more! I thank Peter Zada and his team for truly being For the People!

Useless, took the money, didn't even issue a receipt, despite asking. Were not competent doing the job. Peter was very aggressive. Please don't go to them, they will waste your time and money. They are inexpensive for a reason. Didn't notify me of my hearing.

I have known, through family, Navado Legal & Financial Group for over 10 years now and have recently been in need of the services of a good solicitor, so naturally, for advice and representation I sought to consult Navado first. What I received was service and professionalism of the highest standard.

Oliver Morrisey LL.B., B. Sc. (Forensics) ,represented me and I found him to be extremely thorough in his investigations and tireless in his defence of my case. For weeks, day and night, Oliver went over and over the details of my charges and bit by bit, picked them to pieces.

On the day of my hearing Oliver was well prepared for the magistrate who was quick at jumping on any small detail that may appear to contradict the facts given. But Oliver, even quicker to point out any reason for what may have appeared to be a discrepancy, shot any such suggestion of discrepancy down in proverbial flames. The outcome for us was a huge and delightful relief for my family as we all got to came home together.

Thank you Oliver Morrisey for your tireless dedication to your profession and also a HUGE thank you to Peter Zada for putting the best man for the job on to my case. I'm just your average Jo but you two are bloody LEGENDS!

I would like to thank the team at Novado for their assistance with our matter. Not only did we get the result we were looking for, but provided us with a clear understanding of what needed to be done in a simple broken down manner.

We were constantly kept in the loop and for someone who has had little dealing with solicitors we found the team to be diligent and understanding of our personal situation and needs.
