I have just completed a complex property purchase and was very impressed with how Hadyn and Tahleia both approached this matter. Their advice and expertise was greatly appreciated during the course of the negotiations and it was comforting to know they were able to deal efficiently with all matters through to settlement. For someone who insists on crossing "T"s and dotting "I"s they were very patient and understanding. I would highly recommend Hadyn and Tahleia. I have every intention of maintaining a relationship with the firm longer term. In addition, all the staff who dealt with us treated us

I just can't speak highly enough of my experience with Haydn and his team.
We recently had to settle 2 properties, the sale of our home in Sydney and the purchase of our new home here in Port.
The professionalism, patience and guidance we received was amazing.
The fact that we wanted to then try and bring our purchase settlement forward was a big ask but they did it without a hitch.
What is predominantly a stressful time seemed to breeze through for us as a client.
I have complete trust in Haydn and at the end of the day that is crucial in your legal support.
Thank you again and l look forward

Hadyn Oriti from Donovan and Oates has been our Solicitor for 10 years. His professionalism and excellent service is second to none. His team are extremely prompt, efficient and genuine.
We’ve used Hadyn for all of our legal requirements over the years including conveyancing, business law to wills and estates. He has always resolved our matters efficiently with a personal approach. We will continue to use Hadyn for our legal requirements as he has a comprehensive understanding of not only who we are as clients but what our values are as people in our community.

I've used Donovan and Oates for a few years now and would recommend them to anyone. Haydn has been very helpful and understood everything I've wanted them to do. They have been proactive with detail and very fair with billing. Also the fact that they are not local to my business has made no difference at all, overall a very good Law firm.

I'd give no stars or minus stars if it was possible. These creeps lost $10k of my old age pensioner Dad's money in their dodgy Mortgage Corporation. He only got $161 of it back from receivers. Yet these people are still in business and no doubt making big bucks for themselves. They have NO morals - avoid using them like the plague.
