Excellent service

We needed to update our Wills which were not straight forward. From start to finish we found this firm of solicitors friendly and helpful. Kristy Gasson together with her paralegal Shivani understood what we wanted and constructed our Wills perfectly, they fully explained the legal jargon so we fully understood them were friendly and very helpful. We came away knowing that all our wishes will be carried out. Excellent service.

Making a Will

Jessica was amazing, I kept putting off making a will as it was complicated not knowing what would be in my best interest as I have a disabled son. She explained everything in detail and went through the options I had and set up a Trust. Such a load off my mind knowing I have this in place now.

Thank you so much Jessica.

A life-line in times of trouble

This review is for both my lawyer solicitor Rachel Diorio and paralegal Olivia Peck. As a team, their knowledge and experience provided superior representation to the authorities and in court. All communications were made in a timely fashion and in caring, understanding language that often immediately putting me at ease. When I found myself in deep and frightening legal trouble, I first met Ms Peck as an aid in the police station. She was already prepared on the background events and told me to state the truth. Her very presence in a terrifying unfamiliar situation and simple guidance during over the following weeks on bail were so very welcome, patient, and sincere that I chose to stay with the Johnson Astills for representation of my case in court. The Paralegal, even over the holidays, became a life-line in that my worries and questions were addressed quickly via telephone and email. There were instances when Ms Peck provided significantly sound advice regarding procedures and the meaning of claims that made possible the retention of my employment and my mental health. I grew to have complete confidence in Ms Peck's advice and directions. When the hearing dates came, I was introduced to my lawyer, Ms Diorio, who also took great care in listening and patiently reading my many words, providing another life-line as one struggles to control their situation. The solicitor's expertise was demonstrated in several instances as we prepared for court and again during two hearings, ultimately leading to the best outcome possible for me. It is the mark of an expert to cut through the details and focus on that which will become most relevant to the goal. Ms Diorio not only understood well the sutbleties of my situation but identified those facts to be placed in evidence that mattered most to the magistrates. Arrest, court orders, hearings, it was all new to me and these two individuals made me feel respected and cared for, without judgment, as though my personal understanding, my life and my future were important to them. I cannot thank them enough--highly recommended.

Estate Matters

Jess has been brilliant from the very first contact made following a recent bereavement. She has been very helpful, efficient and exceptionally clear and concise in any dealings we have had and provided a very comprehensive summary of the points discussed during our meeting regarding the estate. I feel the amount charged for the meeting was more than fair given the advice and help received. Thank you, Jess.
