Nolan lawyers helped me navigate a very messy divorce to a lawyer. I was living in motels they helped me get things sorted in a professional manner. Enabled me to stop living in limbo and helped me to be able to move forward. I got all I asked for and they protected my legal interests. All the team did their very best for me and they had my back when I needed it most. I honestly can’t recommend them enough honest professional lawyers !! Are not always easy to come by. And efficient and did all they could to keep fees down for me did not exaggerate fees honest and the best !!

We hope we never need to engage with a Lawyer, but if that time comes you hope that you get to work with someone who can bring the best out of the situation.

I’ve recently been through the throes of a difficult marriage separation but had the good fortune to work with Anthony Saba at Nolan Lawyers. Anthony is not only very experienced in this field but he also possesses genuine empathy and a communication style that is clear and simple, breaking down the legal speak into real words. This is so important as emotions can be high and big decisions need to be made so the last thing you want is to feel silly asking basic questions. With Anthony you really do feel like he’s in the corner with you, bringing balance and clarity on when to move forward versus when to defend one’s position.

I highly recommend Anthony and Nolan Lawyers as a firm.

I can’t thank Tom and the team enough for their incredible support, dedication, and expertise throughout my case. From the very beginning, Tom's commitment to achieving the best outcome for my son and I was evident, and his hard work truly paid off.

Despite the challenges and unexpected turns, Tom’s professionalism, strategic thinking, and unwavering support kept me grounded. His ability to navigate complex legal matters with compassion and diligence made all the difference. On the toughest days, his guidance was invaluable, not to mention the much-needed moments of humor along the way!

A special thank you also to Chad, Tash, and the entire team for their efforts behind the scenes. I look forward to stopping by in person to express my gratitude.

If you’re looking for a family lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares, I highly recommend, Tom and his team.

An exceptional team of professionals who truly go above and beyond!

Anastasia, Sandra and the Nolan team have been fantastic to work with!

They have always been empathic from start to finish.

Sandra always showed realistic and trustworthy leadership qualities during my case which never left me feeling any doubt throughout the process.

My case was taken care of professionally and she did not waste any time. I left with a positive outcome.

I would choose them again if a family lawyer is needed in the future.

Thank you so much Nolan team!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nolan Lawyers to assist my husband and me in drafting our Wills and enduring Power of Attorney documents. From the very beginning, the team, particularly Chad and Anastasia, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. They took the time to thoroughly understand our unique needs and concerns, ensuring that every aspect of our estate planning was addressed comprehensively.

Chad and Anastasia were incredibly patient throughout the entire process, taking the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy for us to understand. They provided detailed explanations of each document, highlighting the importance of various clauses and ensuring we were comfortable with every decision we made. Their ability to break down legal jargon into layman's terms was particularly helpful, making us feel confident and informed about our choices.

Moreover, their attention to detail and commitment to providing personalized service was evident in every interaction. They were always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and their responsiveness was greatly appreciated. The entire process was seamless and stress-free, thanks to their organized and methodical approach.

I am thoroughly impressed with the level of service we received from Nolan Lawyers and have no hesitation in recommending them to others seeking legal assistance. Their dedication to client satisfaction and their expertise in estate planning make them an invaluable resource. Without a doubt, we will be returning to them for any future legal needs.

Anthony has been assisting me with my property and parenting matters after separation since January and I finally get to leave a feedback here. He is professional and understanding. I would say after this almost year long emotionally draining process of dealing with a very difficult ex and his inexperienced unprofessional lawyer, I have developed full confidence and trust in Nolan lawyers and in particular Anthony. Going through a divorce involving family lawyers is perhaps the last place you want to be in your relationship life. But the firm has a very experienced team and I have grown personally out of this unpleasant life experience. Thank you Anthony!

After experiencing continuous delays, I contacted Nolan Lawyers and I immediately felt supported by Ashleigh, she kept me updated throughout a challenging period and was always available to respond to my questions and concerns. Ashleigh provided professional insight and explained all stages of the process to alleviate any uncertainties I had and delivered a favourable outcome.

All staff that I interacted with at Nolan lawyers were exceptional, the team kept me informed at various stages and made the whole process very manageable.

I would highly recommend Ashleigh and the team at Nolan Lawyers, thank you all !

When I was looking for legal support for my divorce I was looking for something special. Someone who would represent my best interests and fight on my behalf for a fair outcome, while being non-adversarial and compassionate towards my partner. I found that in Bree Staines of Nolans. Bree guided me through the process and achieved an outcome as close to fair as I can imagine. Bree made an tough process much easier and I'm grateful.

A divorce is not something very pleasant to go through, even if you have the assurance that it is the right thing to do, having an empathetic team of lawyers guiding and assisting you through the whole process sure makes it all a lot easier and smoother.

Thanks guys, I appreciate you!

I have thought long and hard about writing this review but I genuinely don't want anyone else to have the awful experience I have had. Dealing with Nolan Lawyers is one of the most awful things I have ever experienced. I am used to dealing with lawyers both personally and professionally but nothing like Nolan; these people are heartless and awful. On the eve of a trial in the family court they told me that unless I pay in advance I would not be represented. I told them there must be some mistake because I already paid the full estimated amount of the trial into trust and made clear that any additional payments would some time. Nonetheless they threatened on Friday afternoon that I would not be represented on Monday morning unless I made additional payments. They also stopped any correspondence with my direct legal team so the preparation for the trial was disrupted. At one of the most stressful and awful times in my life - I felt like I was being extorted. I genuinely didn't have any way of paying, I put all the money I could on my Amex or a combination of cards. I was distraught at the time. They had no empathy, they had no consideration for my circumstances. I was appalled that anyone could act this way.

I commend Bree Staines of Nolan Lawyers for high quality, practical legal support in family law property matters. Bree helped me navigate my way through difficult family law property proceedings and was ultimately able to negotiate a fair settlement that allowed both parties to move on with their lives without recriminations. Thank you to Bree and Nolan Lawyers.

I absolutely recommend Nolan Lawyers! Navigating a separation process is challenging and uncertain, but the team at Nolan Law listened to my situation and provided specific guidance, clearly explaining the anticipated outcomes and the risks involved in the current process. Anthony and Jessica are outstanding lawyers—true professionals in their field. They were super quick, asked only for the information needed, and accommodated my last-minute requests without hesitation. Chad is one of the best client relationship managers I have encountered. His extensive knowledge in the family law space and understanding nature really helped me navigate through a difficult situation. I definitely recommend the Nolan team to anyone out there who is navigating the complex and often unknown space of family law and needs a trusted, understanding law firm to guide them through the process.

Nolan lawyers were there for our family in the lead up to the passing of our beloved father, all the way through to the finalisation of his estate. Their expertise in estate management was second to none, and the process took less than 8 months in total to finalise which was amazing. The whole family appreciates the service Nolan lawyers provided us here, and we would definitely recommend their service to others.
