Very pleased I decided to go with Independent Legal to assist with my Will and EPA. My experience was an efficient, professional, friendly and competent service. The reasonable fixed fee is also a big tick. Michael was pleasant to engage with and thorough.

Michael was very helpful in our slightly rushed needs. Life takes some strange turns and we needed legal advice quickly and professionally. I can't recommend Michael enough he listened and went the extra mile to ensure we were taken care of. I've already recommended him to a few of our friends and more than happy to put this up here on google.

Michael helped us with "Guarantor Legal Advice".
He was pleasant, polite, but most importantly, very competent.
He knew exactly which pages of the extensive Bank documentation he needed to address and get us to sign.
His advice was comprehensive and easy to understand.
He is also very reasonable with his prices and I thoroughly recommend him.

Michael was so helpful in preparing the wills for my husband and myself. They were reciprocal wills and we have no kids so pretty straight forward.
We were quoted over $1200 from other lawyers but Michael's rate was very reasonable, only a third of this!! His manner is very approachable and friendly! Highly recommended!
