Nicholas Raso was dodgy, lied, arrogant, no ethics or integrity, unprofessional. You can find a better lawyer anywhere
Loved the experience with Georgia, she was professional, polite, patience & understanding. Can highly recommend.
Jools and Nicolas are extremely supportive and professional towards me and my son. Over the past five years they have acted for us covering a range of different matters. In every instance they have been faultless. We thank SGM Legal and highly recommended.
Dealt with Nicholas Raso to resolve a Victorian residential tenancy dispute, as I live in Queensland. Nicholas and SGM Legal achieved all the agreed objectives and within the price point set by SGM Legal. By far the most positive experience I have every had with a legal practice in New Zealand or Australia. Nicholas was outstanding, which shows SGM Legal empower their staff to provide excellent, client centric, service. Donald M Paterson
A delight to work with! Sheryl is diligent, helpful and informative. It was my first time buying and in a new state so I had a ton of questions. Sheryl made things easy to understand and took a lot of stress out of the settlement process. Very highly recommended.
Great company to work with! They handled all facets of my home purchase and everything went smoothly. I’d use them again and recommend them to others.
Great experience with the SGM team. They were prompt in responding and kept us updated on developments during the property purchase.
Everything was a breeze, they made my home purchasing process extremely easy and thoroughly kept me informed with all the processes. Couldn't recommend them enough.
Sheryl and Jules were incredible in supporting me through a very distressing time. Sheryl held space for me like a friend- but had a mind like a steel trap and never missed a detail when putting together my case. I am very grateful for their help achieving a positive outcome in my property case, and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Georgia and the team at SGM Legal were a pleasure to deal with.
Would highly recommend SGM Legal, specifically Georgia Merkel. She was prompt, professional and very easy to work with throughout the whole process and happily answered any and all my questions throughout. Excellent service.
Georgia was a dream to work with. She was incredibly diligent and communicated with us through the whole process of purchasing land and building our new home. As first home owners we felt so much more knowledgeable throughout the whole process because of Georgia’s help and settlement went through without any hiccups.
Highly recommend
Georgia Merkel guided us through the complex process of probate but made it very straightforward. We can’t thank her enough for her support.
SGM legal Nicholas and Juls both support me through vcat to obtain our personal belongings extremely grateful to you both. Thank you from my self and husband Roy.
Incredible firm that made our house sale as easy as it could possibly be. Will use them again for any future dealings. Georgia in particular was an absolute star.
Nicholas Raso and his team at SGM Legal were fantastic in helping us deal with a complex VCAT case.
We were struggling with an aggressive tenant and after 8 months of no support from the incompetent representatives at VCAT, our Real Estate agent abruptly ended the responsibilities of managing the property, leaving us stranded and in a very difficult situation.
After a few recommendations, we contacted SGM Legal. Nicholas helped us shape our arguments and represented us at VCAT - being extremely patient, professional and most importantly holding the VCAT Member accountable.
After a month of diligently building our case and representing us, Nicholas helped us achieve the right outcome at VCAT. SGM Legal were also very competitive on price giving us a fixed fee option for the outcome which was radically different to every other law firm.
I strongly recommend Nicholas and SGM Legal for any legal support you might require.
Brief chat with Nicholas and it doesn't take long to realise that his knowledge in law is well and truly superb. Appreciate all your work mate.
Jules, Nick and Georgia were fantastic to work with. Easily contactable, quick response times, super helpful and knowledgeable with property matters and nothing seemed too much trouble. I would highly recommend Jules and his team at SGM for legal advice and conveyancing
I used SGM Legal recently for a same-day settlement of a property sale & purchase. The whole process was smooth & hassle -free and it was a pleasure to have these guys looking after me. I can highly recommend them. A very professional company with a friendly, personal manner.
Jules is an extremely competent, professional solicitor and an all-round great person to work with especially dealing with emotional family matters where having a legal representative with sound morals and a voice of reason can make all the difference. Many thanks, I would not hesitate to recommend Jules and Nicholas to anyone looking for sound, professional legal advice.
I consider myself very fortunate to have found Jules and his team - they have been highly professional, expert, and also very human, assisting me through a litigation process, producing a successful result. Thank you.
Our experience with SGM Legal was exceptional. Nicholas was incredibly helpful throughout the whole conveyancing service from a recent property purchase. Demonstrating a high level of integrity, knowledge, and assistance. Highly recommended.
Jules and the team were great to work with. Quick communication, thorough explanations and helped us navigate the process when we were unsure. Recommended!

Five Stars!!! I would "highly recommend" Jules Marra at SGM Legal, Melbourne, Australia. Jules is easy to talk with and he is always very responsive. We had been trying to navigate our property purchase to buy a vacation rental in Italy but had many complicated challenges that prevented us from buying. After much research I found Jules Marra. We live in the United States and contacted him via Zoom. Jules helped us walk through this process easily and effortlessly. He even had a fabulous attorney on the ground in Italy to help us with all the complicated details. In short, Jules made a very complicated & difficult process easy. We have worked with many attorneys over the years (in many countries) as we are active commercial, residential, and vacation rental real estate investors. I was "absolutely delighted" with this experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Jules Marra from SGM Legal.
The team at SGM are very approachable, professional and trustworthy.
Nicholas and Sam explained things throughly and made us very comfortable in our legal requirements.
Their costs are very competitve and fair.
Engaging in a solicitor isn’t something I normally do, but we recently needed to due to a property matter. We were given Jules details from a friend who had recently used him and I must say that he didn’t let me down. SGM we’re professional, prompt and extremely knowledgeable which help put me and my family at ease. As a result we had a very successful outcome and I will me using SHM legal whenever I need in the future. Thanks team
Excellent service, got my problems resolved in 14 days and very reponsive.
I wish, I found them few years ago. Will definetly engage the firm in the future.
Thanks Nicholas.
Extremely happy with the service SGM provided in my case. Jules Mara and the staff were thoroughly professional in all aspects. Advice given was frank and to the point and the outcome achieved was most satisfactory.
Jules and Nicholas were both very helpful, and reliable throughout our property transactions. Nothing was a bother and the advice was sound. We will not hesitate to use them again and have recommended their services to others …. something we don’t normally do. Very happy we found SGM Legal in 2020!
Jules' team is friendly, responsive and good value for money. Would definitely use again.
My family and I recently required professional legal assistance in a VCAT matter, Jules Marra and Staff at SGM Legal were absolutely brilliant to deal with, their explanation of steps to go through in our dealings was clear and simple. But above all absolutely professional in every way. They made us feel relaxed and comfortable with their clarity and understanding of our situation. Every detail of our correspondence was relayed to us via email or phone promptly and clearly. SGM Legal went through their fee structure during our time with them that of which were extremely fair and reasonable. The outcome reached with the aid of SGM Legal was exactly the right decision. We were pleased to have their professional and hardworking team assisting us along the way. I would have no hesitation recommending Jules Marra and Staff at SGM Legal representing my family in any Legal situation. Neil White
