Words cannot express our gratitude for Donald, Yashika and their team. Our extremely complex family law case was handled with upmost professionalism and with skill. We would not have had the outcome if it wasn’t for the knowledge and the approach taken by Donald and Yashika throughout the lengthy process. There was no sugar coating with Donald’s advice and they were always upfront about their costs. Not only Donald and Yashika were prepared, they made sure we were mentally and emotionally for the day. Following the proceedings they went above and beyond to make sure outcomes were foolproof. We highly recommend Donald, Yashika and the Senadheera and Gordon Lawyers.

SG lawyers provided us with an impressive, impeccable legal service in gaining our visa This was a difficult category of visa to achieve and right from the start Donald and Yashika explained the risks and the lower chances of success that has been in similar scenario proceeding matters However, they sounded confident and ready for the challenge and we were willing to trust our difficult case in their hands. The SG legal team went through a long and time consuming legal research going through many precedent cases and the very long and comprehensive legal submission prepared and submitted with the legal knowledge and expertise of the senior council Mr Gonald was of perfection. The supporting documents listed required by us was very specific and detailed which made it easy for us to provide these. They took time to go through all of them and left no stone unturned by covering everything. They were accessible, friendly, informative and we were kept well informed throughout the process. Their knowledge, tireless attempt and committed effort to do their best gave us the best results possible We were extremely satisfied with their legal service and we highly recommend SG Lawyers for any complicated immigration matters.

Dear Yashika, Donald! Regarding my prospective marriage visa granted by Australian Immigration and also my two kids received this happiness message by your end, First of all, I would like to thank all of you, especially Mr. Donald, who informed me about this work with me from the very beginning, and I hereby express my heartfelt thanks and happiness to the working group, including Ms. Yashika. First, when I received this happy arrangement, I was within an hour and a half of my departure for Malaysia. It was a surprising arrangement for me and I didn't even have confidence for a while.On this day, I left for my 50th birthday celebration, which was organized by my wife Rupika, and I cherish this gift that you gave me as another birthday present. And I consider this as the greatest gift I received from you in this difficult time in the situation we are in Sri Lanka. Also, I returned to Lanka yesterday and I regret that I could not find time to send you a letter thanking you for this matter.I thank you again and again with the hope that one day I will meet all of you and share my happiness with you. Hiran jayamanne.

Knowledgable, professional, friendly and caring are words that come to mind. Legal proceeding are very stressful but Donald, Senadheera and the team were amazing, explaining all aspects and possibilities of my case. All of my question was answered and explained in great detail. Weekends or late night, Donald was always prompt in responding to my emails. I always believed and feel that they had my best interest at heart at all times. Donald was professional to everyone even opposing party was not. . At the final stages Donald was making sure everything was correct with the contracts, adding crucial points to avoid more costs and loopholes in the future.

Personally, I contacted this lawyer firm for 2 separate matters, one to do with work, and one for a Will. When I met Donald I thought he was very easy to work with and very clear. I asked many questions during the meetings/consultations and always felt he understood me. I trust him and his team. More recently my parents wanted a lawyer so I recommended him to them. Thanks Donald for your help and time, much appreciated!

We contacted Donald for a partner visa. We first had a consultation where he explained the process and the fees that were involved. We had several meetings over the next months to supply documents etc. He always kept in contact to guide us through the process and when he got feedback he would keep us posted with a phone call e-mails and text messages. We were lucky because we had some struggles regarding some aspects of the application but Donald always found a solution for us. I was very happy with the result and we even got the visa earlier than the expected timeline. Many thanks to Donald and his team for their help.

We consulted SG lawyers on a couple of matters regarding sponsor migration, testamentary law (wills) and property law, neighbours building dispute.

Every time we have been 100% satisfied with the appropriate, efficient and accurate legal advice that we have received.

Mr Gordon’s highly qualified academic legal background and legal knowledge, practical legal work experience and expertise in the field was very evident in every aspect of how he dealt with our matter. With Yashika’s legal knowledge and many years of legal experience and very transparent way of communicating every step through the process in property law our matter was handled perfectly. The SG team especially Anuki is very knowledgeable, up to date and thorough in the legal work. I would not hesitate to highly recommend SG lawyers for any type of legal matter as they are very professional in what they do and are a committed, dedicated team. We were rest assured that for all our matters, every possible angle was explored attentively and due detail, care and diligence was given to each matter.

Worst Experience Ever, We've been to many lawyers, but have never faced a situation like this before. We contacted them and was asked to send detailed information via an email, so we spend more than 2 hours getting everything typed up about the situation we're having, We were told to visit there office the next day; however nothing was mentioned about the prices, not even the price of the standard consultation itself, once we emailed everything, We were given an appointment for 12.15PM. After sometime, we were told that they have swapped us with a client of theirs and given us an earlier appointment at 10.30AM, without even us asking for an earlier appointment. The next day we attended their office in Glen Waverley, We still weren't told anything about their prices, Including ( How much their initial consultation costs, What sort of consultations they provide, Which type of consultation have i being given, Do they offer free first consultations, like most lawyers do, nothing whatsoever), We met the lawyer and literally spent 10 minutes in there, and when we came out we were charged an urgent consultation fee $330 out of nowhere ( An urgent consultation which we didn't even ask for) Because no matter what type of consultation it was on the day wouldn't have changed our situation anyway. So i called them to rectify the issue, and asked why i was charged an urgent consultation without even me asking for one, and i was told to send my account no, and then within 5mins or so, i received an email saying that no matter what i'll not be given any refund (not even the urgent consultation fee), and then when we called they hung up and switched of their phone, It was utterly disappointing, and i would never ever go back there again or send there anyone that i know. They don't care about situation, they just care about money thats it.

The reply that they have given below are all lies, i never ever asked for an urgent consultation, and as i said before it wouldn't have changed the situation anyway, i told them the whole situation through the phone and they never mentioned anything about their prices for each consultation, which is ridiculous. Yes i did pay quite a lot of money for my matter itself, but that doesn't mean that you guys can rip me off like that, it was $330 for basically nothing, Yashika clearly mentioned nothing about their prices on any of the calls that was made. They're saying that "i thanked them that other lawyers may have simply charged for the full matter" WHAT A JOKE, that was before they ripped $330 off me for no reason, i actually thought they were nice people, when they welcomed us in and had a 10 minute talk, where they showed that they felt our loss, and was deeply saddened; however that view was completely changed within a couple of minutes, when they asked me to pay an Urgent Consultation of $330, which i didn't even ask for. Watch out from these people
