Probate application

Megan Heger dealt with the probate application of my late mother-in-law. Megan went above and beyond to get this sorted extremely quickly and with no fuss whatsoever. Seamless service from start to finsih, even arranging for the original grant of probate to be hand delivered, avoiding postal delays.

Megan Heger Solicitor

Megan is an excellent solicitor she was so very helpful sorting the probate after my late Mothers sad death last year. I found Megan to be very approachable and friendly whilst also being very professional. I cannot thank Megan Heger and all the team at Sydney Mitchell in Sheldon. I would highly recommend Sydney Mitchell LLP in Sheldon. My family has always used Sydney Mitchell LLP for conveyancing when we've moved house. Megan and the whole team were truly wonderful during what was such a difficult point in my life.

Excellent Service

From the moment we met Kevin he put us a ease, as not ever going through anything like this before. He was very professional, patient and knowledgeable and took the time to explain things thoroughly, it made the situation less stressful knowing we were in his capable hands. He was so good with my mom who is in her very late 70's and explained everything slowly. Thank you very much for your help with this and on this basis I would recommend Sydney Mitchell to anyone.

Excellent Service

I needed a solicitor to handle the sale of my late brother in law. From first contact Sydney Mitchell provided a first rate service. Fees were clearly explained and the conveyancer handling the transaction, Laura, ensured I was kept realistically informed throughout doing her best to keep me grounded.

Immigration

Successful VISA Application

I was initially overwhelmed by the immigration process, but from our first consultation, Andre made everything feel manageable. He explained each stage clearly, was always available for anyone questions I had, and kept me informed throughout. I really appreciated how thorough and professional he was, while still making the process feel personal. His knowledge and attention to detail gave me complete confidence that my application was in good hands. I’m extremely grateful for his support and would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking for an immigration attorney. The past six years have been remarkably stress-free, with every application handled seamlessly. I owe Andre a huge debt of gratitude for his expertise, support, and dedication throughout the entire process.

Heartfelt thank you!

I cannot thank André enough for all his help, support and dedication throughout what has been an incredibly difficult journey for us. From the very beginning, André went above and beyond to help, guide and support us. His patience, professionalism and genuine commitment made such a difference during a time that was filled with uncertainty, worry and stress. What stood out most was that André didn’t simply do what was required of him. He genuinely cared about the outcome and put so much time, effort and dedication into making sure everything was done properly. He worked tirelessly to help us achieve the success and results we had hoped and prayed for, and for that we will always be incredibly grateful. There are people who simply do their job, and then there are people who leave a lasting impression because of the way they treat and support others. André is undoubtedly the latter. His kindness, understanding and commitment throughout this journey will never be forgotten. We truly feel blessed to have had André helping us through such an important and difficult chapter of our lives. The outcome we achieved means so much to us, and we know that André’s hard work and dedication played a huge part in getting us there. I would wholeheartedly recommend André to anyone. He is not only extremely professional and dedicated, but also someone who genuinely cares about the people he helps. Thank you, André, from the bottom of our hearts. Your efforts, support and kindness have meant more to us than words can express. You will always be remembered with the greatest gratitude and appreciation.
