Testimonials

Second to none. Stanford Legal/Property exceeded our expectations. We shopped around for other legal/conveyancing companies, but none could match the incredible service we received from Connor Mahoney. Connor picked up on minor issues with our contract and details that other companies did not. He always had our best interest at heart and made our lives extremely easy throughout the entire process of purchasing a home. We also highly recommend Stanford Financial. They were recommended to us by a friend, and the service we received from Steven Beach and Mitchell White from the financial team went above and beyond our expectations. Again, we shopped around and had consultations with other financial advisers, but none could match the professionalism we received from Stanford Financial. We found Steven and Mitchell to be most informative, and they provided us with consistently kind and honest service. A brilliant company. Thank you for your assistance.

Bec Green

Highly recommend the Stanford Legal team. I've just settled on a block of land and Connor has been doing the conveyancing for me. Communication was always so clear and informative as to what I needed to do. He was always happy to answer my many questions and help me with the whole process. I was pretty nervous about buying land but Connor made his side of things much less daunting and stress-free. I am very happy with the services they provided.

Adam Sganzerla

Awesome team super friendly and prompt even when things went pear shaped

Chris Thomas

I always thought doing your Will would be a painful and expensive process, however I was totally wrong, they made it easy and affordable.

Bryce Ellis

Amazing, I am sitting in our new home writing this review because of the team at Stanford. I would hands down not hesitate to engage the team at Stanford Legal & Financial for any legal or financial matters within their domain. Ours was a complex situation with having Vet Affairs payments and a Small business between us etc... This was a non-issue for the guys at Stanford, we immediately felt at ease as the Stanford team took the reins and helped us achieve what we thought was becoming out of reach. Thank you.

Antonia O’Brien

The whole experience using Stanford Financial and Stanford Legal was completely seamless. Highly recommend and can't wait to continue on our journey with you all!

Melissa Ridgeway

I wholeheartedly recommend Emario Welgampola from Stanford Legal at Springfield Central. When I initially sought Emario's services as my property settlement lawyer, I believed that going to family court was our only option. However, Emario took the time to genuinely listen to the complexities and emotional difficulties of my case. His guidance and unwavering support throughout this challenging process proved to be invaluable. With his extensive knowledge of current family law, combined with his calm demeanor and friendly nature, I felt assured that my case was in capable hands. To my pleasant surprise, the matter settled much faster than anticipated, all while avoiding the high costs associated with court proceedings. My children and I are incredibly grateful that we were able to keep our family home. Emario's professionalism, experience, and skills played a pivotal role in achieving this outcome without the need for court involvement. If you're seeking a reputable Family Law Practice and a dedicated Family Lawyer, I couldn't recommend anyone better than Emario. His expertise and commitment were instrumental in resolving my case successfully.

Mel Stay

I highly recommend these guys. Excellent and thorough communication during the whole process from Connor and the team. A well deserved 5 stars
