Profile image of Ricky Kaura

Ricky Kaura

Family Law

Exceptional service and Highly Professional

My cousin brought a claim against my uncle's estate (of which I am a beneficiary) under "The Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975", and the independent administrator of an estate advised me to seek legal advice from a specialist ACTAPS solicitor. The independent administrator provided me with a huge directory of ACTAPS solicitors, and I initially felt lost. By looking at reviews (online), I was very impressed by what clients said about RFB, and (in particular) the partner Devorah Ormonde. I really did not know what to expect at my initial meeting, but when I met Devorah, I knew I was dealing with someone who was highly professional. Devorah quickly put my mind at rest, as she had dealt with many other similar claims (on both sides). After using her managerial skills to bring all parties to the table for the 'standstill agreement', Devorah negotiated a favourable 'settlement agreement' with my cousin's lawyers, thus preventing the need for costly proceedings to be issued. Devorah always kept me up to date by email and provided me with a detailed billing guide at short notice. Devorah's services were worth every penny. I was very lucky to find such a great solicitor who was an expert in her field. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
