Clairs Keeley Lawyers Reviews

I have been very fortunate to have had the guidance and support of Debbie Clinch from this law firm after my separation. I recommend Debbie highly. With her never ending assistance, I have been able to arrive at an agreement with my ex-husband and avoid facing court.

Debbie has kept me one step ahead of the game throughout this process, due to her indepth knowledge and experience with situations like mine. She has a wonderfully direct and honest approach, which led to a favourable outcome for me. Without her ongoing commitment and expertise I am certain my affairs would have been resolved less favourably, if at all.

Beverley Sorrell at Clairs Keeley was an absolute godsend. I would highly recommend her to anyone requiring assistance with property settlements and disputes and drafting wills. She was incredibly professional and efficient, provided great advice and made sure my interests were looked after. I would not hesitate to engage her again in the future.

A great law firm. Lara, Ian and Penny are well respected in their field. Jodie on reception is fantastic at her role and always a pleasure to speak with.
They would be a 5 star rating had their accounts department had the same level of customer service as the rest.
Would use their services again.

Ian was able to offer guidance and legal advice with very little notice. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ian and the team at Clairs Keeley again. Excellent support when I needed it the most!

Very thorough, patient and extremely competent legal service was provided and I can highly recommend this legal firm.

Beverley handled our settlement, was quick, efficient, extremely competent and communicated really well, from our first initial enquiry, right through to a completed settlement. As first time buyers it was great to have someone to guide us through the process and everyone at Clairs Keeley that we dealt with were friendly and professional too.

A great compassionate legal service provided by an expert lawyer.

Debbie Clinch I found to be very professional, patient and thorough. Her experience, healthy working relationships with other lawyers (in the Family Court setting) and experience in solving matters out of court by negotiation was invaluable. It is my perception that Debbie is known by Magistrates to be sensible, reasonable and practical. Debbie is good at telling you what you need to know and do in matters of heightened stress and giving sensible and practical advise. Debbie also made herself available outside of normal business hours. I would recommend people needing Family Law advise seek the help of Debbie Clinch without hesitation.

I definitely would not recommend David Squires, one of the lawyers here.

My partner s property settlement was not straightforward. It took 7-8 years to finalise. Lara Anstie, from Clairs Keeley, ably handled the case throughout this period. She was always confident and well prepared when dealing with Magistrates and Judges in Court. There was a mass of documentation and subpoenas. Lara was organized and thorough in dealing with this avalanche of legal paperwork. Her initial choice of barrister was unsuited to our needs. To Lara s credit she recognized this and arranged for a new barrister. This new barrister proved to be a game changer. He and Lara were a formidable team and secured a good outcome for my partner.

I was tasked with settling my mother s 20 year old estate, which was by no means either a straight forward or simple affair. Ian Clairs was recommended by a colleague and proved to be more than worth the recommendation. With changes in law, disputes between beneficiaries, Ian gave the effort, patience, knowledge, understanding and guidance to what was at times, a very frustrating saga and resulted in a more than satisfactory conclusion.

I am extremely grateful to both Debbie Clinch and the whole team at Clairs Keeley Lawyers. I was always treated with respect, dignity and compassion. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Debbie Clinch is highly ethical, professional, experienced, competent and confident in her performance in court proceedings and interactions with the other party's lawyers. Debbie is sensitive and sympathetic to the pain of the process in divorce/separation while also providing realistic expectations. Debbie was accessible at all times. She will go 'the extra mile' for her client and is deftly able to pitch her interaction according to the customer's style and needs.
Clairs Keeley are a long-standing firm that uses their knowledge to assist with all cases across the board. They provide realistic expectations. They are also absolutely respectful and supportive of minorities such as gay and lesbian relationships. I wouldn't hesitate using them again, and recommending them to friends.

Would recommend Lara Anstie highly for any family law matters that require attention to detail and expertise in this field.

Very helpful and amazing people I can't say enough thank you so much

I wish to thank Sharni and Yvette for all their effort, patience and professionalism provided to me in finalising my long and drawn out divorce. Sharni and Yvette have been the light at the end of a very long tunnel. Words really can not say how thankful I am to the both of them. Cheers Sean.

Super quick turn-around and very reasonable pricing - thanks Ian!
