Best real estate lawyers in Adelaide: find options near you

I would just like to thank Glen Pearce at DBH Lawyers. He got me through a tough time in my life, he is extremely patient and he takes the time to explain and respond to any questions a client has big or small. I would definitely recommend Glen to anyone with a work cover claim.

I can’t thank DBH Lawyers/Jessica Nguyen, and team enough for their outstanding work on my WorkCover case. From the very beginning, they were professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the complexities of the WorkCover system.

They took the time to understand every detail of my situation, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and always made me feel supported. Their attention to detail and strategic approach ultimately led to a successful outcome that I’m truly grateful for.

What stood out most was their genuine care—not just about the case, but about me as a person. It made a stressful experience much more manageable, and I always felt like I was in capable hands.

I highly recommend DBH Lawyers to anyone dealing with a WorkCover claim. Their expertise, dedication, and results speak for themselves.

First time using a lawyer but Glen Pearce made the whole complicated process easy and seamless. Would highly recommend DBH , and Glen in particular, for anyone requiring a lawyer in Adelaide. I was also well impressed with the fees being on the low end of the quoted range over 10 months ago. I was also impressed with the high level of contact every step of the way. Thanks again, Glen, for the service.

Thank you to DBH/ Kym Jackson, for your expertise in a matter that was an unusual case. The expert advice and the honesty made me feel in safe hands. I am extremely grateful for your time and I highly recommend DBH/ Kym Jackson for any legal matters.

A big thankyou to all the in the Duncan Basheer Hannon TPD claims team. With out the expertise of the DBH team, I would have not received any of the Insurances which I was entitled to through my super funds. I had no idea how I was to survive financially after a workplace accident, but the team at DBH guided me and assisted me through the complex processes. If you are not sure with your situation I would highly recommend you get in touch with the team at GBH.
Best advise Great results.
Thank you DBH

Having a person who has my back through the whole process, makes the process alot easier. Having Glen as my lawyer has been a privilege. He broke things down when it got complicated and was honest through the whole process. Highly recommend!

My experiance with DBH has been nothing short of wonderful,my claim was for TPD through my Superannuation insurance who rejected my claim when i contacted them, so i contacted DBH and the y were more than confident from the get go a good outcome on a no win no fee arrangement, i dealt mostly with 2 of there employee’s and they did every thing that was needed and well beyond required, they were extremly polite and professional at all times and were there for me at any time to answer any questions i had, i would strongly recommend DBH to anyone that may need a lawyer. Thankyou to the team at DBH.

We have been working with Bruno for around 12 months now and he has always provided us exceptional advice whilst being flexible with appointment times, friendly and diligent. We would certainly recommend his services.

Had an amazing engagement with Bruno at Zed Legal recently. Quick responses. Full digital process. Easy to deal with and knows his stuff. Thanks for all your help. We got a great outcome!

We recently used Bruno for the conveyancing of our property purchase, and we were very happy with the service he provided. He was prompt in replying to all of our questions and kept us informed at every stage of the process. His professionalism and communication made the experience smooth and straightforward. We highly recommend using Zed Legal.

Bruno has acted for us on more than one occasion. Once with employment matters and more recently for the sake of our property. Always responsive, very efficient, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended by us. Thanks again Bruno

Bruno is by far the best contract lawyer I have engaged. He has been happy to offer his advice even when it doesn’t always mean he will get a job from it. 100% recommend using his services.

Bruno assisted me with my legal documentation in a professional, friendly and understanding manner. He was flexible with appointment times, and had excellent knowledge and provided great advice. The process was completed quickly and with little fuss, very easy. Highly recommended.

The transfer of property from one party to the other went smoothly and all legal obligations were met. The communication was prompt, excellent and informative. Thoroughly recommend Z Legal and Bruno for all your conveyancing needs.

My Husband and I recently worked with Gender and Partners and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rod was incredibly patient and thorough, taking his time to walk us through the entire process and explain various scenarios with clarity and care.
We felt heard, understood, and never rushed, during such a personal and important process.

His professionalism, and attention to detail gave us real peace of mind. We’re deeply grateful for Rod’s help and would wholeheartedly recommend Gender and Partners to anyone navigating estate planning.

My husband and I updated our Wills etc with Rod. He is very professional and answered all questions we were concerned about. His guidance regarding our affairs made us feel assured that we were being looked after in the best possible way. Right from the start Rod made us feel welcome and comfortable in the knowledge we chose the best person to handle anything we may require in the future. He also gave us some home truths about what we should be doing now but just hadn’t got around to it, so very grateful for his advice.

Our neighbour’s daughter was in the process of finalising her mother’s estate and during a casual conversation we mentioned our plans to update our Wills and asked for any recommendation. She was happy to recommend Genders and Partners where her mother’s Will and her own were arranged as well as other close friends – a solid word of mouth recommendation.
We contacted Rod to arrange an appointment and he provided costs and helpful information before we attended the first meeting. Rod clarified potential questions with skill and knowledge, many before we thought to ask, and gave us sound direction on areas to consider for the final documents. We now have peace of mind everything is in order to make it easier for our adult children and very happy to recommend Rod Genders.

We were fortunate enough to meet Mr Genders through my aunt, who was a long term client.
When she passed and it came time to execute her will and distribute her estate we went back to Genders and Partners to seek assistance with legal advice and Probate.
So glad we did.
Rod and Lyn Genders made the whole process very simple, professional, and uncomplicated.
After only two face to face meetings the entire Probate process was set in motion, and followed through to completion.
We are a little advanced in years and the digital world can sometimes be daunting, but Rod and Lyn managed all that for us. Signing documents remotely was as simple as clicking on a link and the job is done.
Highly recommend the very friendly, knowledgeable, meticulous, and very professional services of Genders and Partners.
5 star and 10/10

My partner and I recently engaged Genders & Partners to help us finalize our wills and estate. The process was exemplary, with clear and thoughtful instruction on all points. I would have no hesitation in recommending this highly established company as a five-star ‘go-to’ for anyone wanting to protect their family and plan ahead.

We have no hesitation in recommending Rod Genders to assist in your Estate Planning. We engaged Rod to prepare a couples package of wills, EPAs and critical Care Directives. Rod explains the law as it applies to estate planning in a clear and concise plain language manner. Rod is very thorough and incorporates contemporary wording relating to your digital assets. If you are after legal advice/assistance for your estate planning we highly recommend Rod.

I had an excellent experience with Genders & Partners. They are highly experienced in probate matters and provided me with very professional assistance. Communication was always clear and timely, which made the whole process much easier. I truly appreciate their support and would highly recommend their services.

Hi, my husband and I had a very pleasant experience with Amanda today doing our Will. She was very professional, efficient and friendly. She answered all our questions and concerns. They will look after our Will at no extra charge and provided us with copies for our use. Their pricing was very reasonable. Don’t leave it any longer get your affairs in order. K&J

Amanda was lovely to deal with and listened carefully to everything we wanted/needed and explained what could be done. We are very pleased with the help she gave us and she made it so easy.
At no time were we rushed or not understood in regards our needs.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Varga Lawyers to anyone.
Thankyou Amanda Tolias for your expertise….

My 2 brothers and I used Varga lawyers for my mums estate, she had previously used the previous owner for her will and we thought it would be a painless process. My mum was 96 and her estate we thought was very simple. We found Varga frustrating really with me being the executor and being interstate everything took a lot longer and was way more expensive than the original quotation. My brothers and I would not use Varga lawyers for any future work if I lived in S.A.

We had an appointment to see Vanessa regarding another matter which we no longer required but kept the appointment to do our wills. She was honest and upfront and the whole experience was easy. Documents were ready when they said and we feel at ease that this is now done. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I recently booked an appointment with Varga Lawyers at Modbury to organise our wills. We were both a little nervous going in, having no idea where to start.

From the moment we met Amanda Tolias, she made the entire experience feel calm and approachable. She explained everything so clearly and made us feel completely at ease. Something I especially appreciated, as I tend to get quite anxious about matters like this. Speaking with Amanda truly put my mind at rest.

We’re incredibly grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care she showed throughout the process. Thank you, Amanda. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We finally (after too many years procrastinating) made the decision to get organised & get our Will’s prepared. After seeking some recommendations for someone local we made an appointment with Varga Lawyers. Amanda made it so simple & explained everything that was easy to understand & we look forward to dealing with them in the future.

I can’t speak highly enough of Vanessa’s expertise and knowledge in the area of estate law. She is very helpful and understanding.

The team at You Legal provided my husband and I with excellent advice in a very short time frame. Their professionalism, empathy and clear and responsive communication exceeded my expectations and helped us navigate a very stressful situation. Highly recommend.

Great to work with, very responsive to queries and quick turnaround on advice times. Daniela and the You Legal team have provided an amazing service.

I have worked with YouLegal for many years now and will continue to do so. They are very responsive, and provide a comprehensive, personalised service. They are super easy and very pleasant to work with, and have really helped me on many occasions. They provide incredible follow up and truly care.

Sarah and Daniela have been so helpful with the legal requirements of our allied health practice. Always happy to help, very quick turnaround and always available for advice. Highly recommend You Legal.

You Legal offered exceptional guidance and support throughout the development of my service license agreements. Their team was responsive, provided clear explanations, and demonstrated a deep understanding of the allied healthcare sector. I highly recommend.

On behalf of Surfcoast Women’s Health Group,:
We are a new medical clinic and required assistance with our contracts. Sarah, Daniela and the team at You Legal were excellent. Their support, professionalism, expertise and approachability made a daunting task very smooth. Thankyou

Our small association sought a legal perspective on proposed changes to our constitution from You Legal. We were impressed with the prompt response to our initial enquiry and with the clarity of information we would need to provide. Within a couple of days Sarah had provided us with a succinct proposal and quote that outlined what we could expect from You Legal in easy to understand language. The work was completed within our short timelines. We appreciated the opportunity to book a time to speak with Andrew to clarify a few small matters within the document as this enabled us to complete this task in an efficient and timely manner. Thanks Sarah and team.

Katrina from Direct Wills was amazing. Very professional and easy to talk to. From start to finish the process was complicated because of the will my parents had put in place but Katrina made it quite easy to understand and able to get through easy enough. I highly recommended using Direct Wills for anything Wills related. Thanks again!!

As fate would have it, my father-in-law died a few months before my brother. My brother-in-law was the executor of my father-in-law’s estate and my brother nominated me as his executor. Two years before he died, my brother had a stroke that left him in a wheelchair. Katrina visited him in hospital and prepared his will for him before he died. Because my brother had died months after my father-in-law, I got to witness what it was like to be an executor from observing my brother-in-law. Every time I saw him he would spend about an hour telling me how hard it was to be an executor, how much work was involved, and how he would never do it again. When it became time for me to be the executor, I said I would get Katrina to do all the hard work for me. My brother-in-law protested and said it would cost too much. But I said that I didn’t care how much it cost, I wasn’t going to go through all those torturous actions that he went through. So I asked Katrina to do it all for me. I only met her once to deal with a few formalities and then we communicated by phone and email. It was indeed very complex, getting Probate, paying outstanding bills, dealing with his bank, arranging payments to beneficiaries, and so forth, but Katrina did it all while I just simply authorised her actions every so often and did other things she requested that only I could do. In the end the amount she charged me was quite modest and about what I expected, far short of what my brother-in-law predicted. Plus her expertise enabled her to dodge legal pitfalls that could have entrapped me if I had tried to do everything by myself. When it came to paying tax on my brother’s estate, Katrina liaised expertly with my brother’s accountant, thus creating a seamless flow of financial information that made dealing with the tax office a breeze. Katrina is excellent and I proudly recommend her to you.

Wills Direct were incredibly helpful during a very difficult time. They guided me through the process of handling my late brother’s estate and becoming his administrator. I had no idea where to start, but they explained everything clearly, were always professional and compassionate, and made sure nothing was overlooked. Their support made a complex and emotional situation much more manageable. I’m truly grateful for their service and would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with estate matters.

Katrina Nitschke made the process of dealing with my mothers estate somewhat easier, at a very difficult time.
Katrina is extremely professional and knowledgeable , she was always available and ready to answer any difficult questions with ease. Great communication skills.

I found Katrina to be kind and caring, I felt grateful having her guide me on this journey.

I would certainly use and recommend Katrina and “Wills Direct” again.

From start to finish Katrina provided a professional and friendly service. I definitely recommend her for your will preparation.

Truly a wonderful experience!
After the passing of my Dad, Katrina and Vicki worked tirelessly to ensure that my Mother was able to settle Dad’s estate without the worries that come with losing your spouse, they dispelled our anxieties and took all the pain out of something that was truly daunting to us.

To see my Mother worry less is priceless as she herself is fighting to live.
Can’t say enough, I’m just so thankful for the care, understanding and clarity that Wills Direct provided us during such a difficult period.
Thankyou again Katrina and Vicki for all you’ve done for my Mother.

Amazing service. Katrina was very friendly, professional and informative. She was always punctual and we LOVED that she came to our home. Highly recommend!!

My sister and I had an issue with settling my mother’s estate. We spoke to a number of reasonably high profile solicitors including some recommended by the Law Society. Collectively they filled us with fear as to the complexity of our matter and the subsequent cost. Will lifted the veil on all this and provided an effective and economic solution. He has a schedule of his charges which is so much fairer than the usual “5 or 6 minute block” used by many firms. And to top all this off, he is such a courteous and affable man. Please consider using him, we need more solicitors like him. Michael

Being my first time organising Probate, I was somewhat overwhelmed. Will was recommended to me as being the person that could help me out with the process. I am so glad that I contacted him. He is friendly, knowledgeable & very helpful. Answered all my questions (some must have seemed odd to him, but he answered them any way). Highly recommend Will for Legal matters. Made the whole process so easy, less scary & all of this was just so helpful at a very emotional time.

Will is a very efficient and affordable lawyer. I used his service as a town agent, and he delivered within a short time and for an affordable fee. I recommend Will for all areas of law especially wills and estates.

We recently met with Will Gray of Grey Matters Legal before heading overseas, as we realised it was well and truly time to sort out our wills. With several investment properties, family trusts and other complexities in the mix, we expected it to be a stressful process, but Will made it easy from the start.

He took the time to listen and understand our situation, asked the right questions, and explained everything clearly and without jargon. What could have been overwhelming ended up feeling straightforward and reassuring. We walked away feeling confident and organised, knowing our affairs were finally in order.

Highly recommend Will for anyone wanting professional, thoughtful guidance—especially if your circumstances aren’t straightforward.

Will Gray was highly recommended to me by a friend when I needed a lawyer to go through the process of getting Probate for my deceased mother’s estate. Will, with his warm and friendly nature, made the process stress free, was very efficient and went above and beyond to provide further information that might be needed. I also appreciated that there was no surprises with his fee as he lets you know the cost upfront. I would highly recommend Will Gray.

We used Gray Matters Legal recently for the preparation of our wills and would highly recommend Will Gray to anyone looking for a caring and compassionate lawyer to assist with their estate planning. The process was straightforward and his communication was second to none. Thanks Will.

Will Gray from Gray Matters Legal was engaged as our legal representative. Will researched what was a complex interstate dispute and updated us with progress at regular intervals and milestones. A specialized legal team was formed as part of a proposal and an action plan was drawn up. The pricing structure at Gray Matters gave us the confidence of communication without the added costs normally associated with the legal industry.
Throughout the mediation process Will was a calming influence with the tools to advance negotiations. Ultimately, a resolution was reached, and I firmly believe we could not have received a better outcome and saving us thousands in the process.

Natalie was the person we were dealing with and she provided excellent service. She was very friendly and professional and made us feel like special customers. We were kept informed of every step of the process making sure we understood what the procedures were.

My experience with the team at Boylan Lawyers was nothing short of outstanding. They handled my case with the utmost professionalism and care. Their proactive approach saved my time and money. I highly recommend Boylan Lawyers to anyone seeking Legal services in Family cases.

Boylan Lawyers firm are outstanding. As Sebastian & Brittany went out of their way to look after my case , always answered my questions quickly & explained in detail with the upmost compassion. I would highly recommend this firm for their professionalism, guidance & affordability. Thank you again.
Susan

Jayden was amazing during the process of selling my property.
Kept me up to date with everything. Prompt respinse to emails, phone calls.
No questions were too hard to answer. Highly recommend Jayden as a conveyancer.
Keep up the great work.

Natalie was nothing but professional and efficient my experience with her services was nothing to be disappointed about, her communication was excellent and she made me feel so comfortable.
I could not recommend her highly enough

We were very happy with the service we got from Rianie at the Strathalbyn office. She is very professional but warm and friendly at the same time. Happy to recommend her.

Rianie is truly the best, could not ask for any better , she helped me so quickly and efficiently. 100% would recommend her to anyone!!!!

Mark and his Team were fantastic! They gave me timely service, identified my needs and provided excellent legal advice! I would have no hesitation recommending them to family and friends in future. Thanks Mark!

Mark was fantastic at explaining all the legal mumbo jumbo and making it a very simple
Process. We would highly
Recommend using Mark for any legal matters

Mark Gustavsson & Associates, as a team, are everything you hope to find when seeking legal advice/counsel. After dealing with them on a couple of occasions, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they consistently exceeded my expectations when it came to hiring a legal professional.

As Principal Solicitor, Mark’s humility, transparency and strong moral compass has certainly rubbed off on his team. There is no better feeling than knowing that the legal team you rely on are guided to doing what is right for you and not what is simply profitable for them.

No doubt that these guys are setting the tone for the rest of the industry. Keep it up!

I recently used Mark Gustavsson’s law services, and I was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism, expertise and dedication I received. Mark took the time to fully understand my case and did an excellent job of explaining the legal process to me. He was always available to answer any questions I had and provided sound advice whenever needed. His attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction made him a great asset during my case.

Mark and his team are a pleasure to deal with, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They go the extra distance and are very reasonable with their invoicing. We highly recommend Mark Gustavsson & Associates for all of your legal needs and advice.

I’ve known Mark for a few years and recently got in touch to get some legal assistance. He was more than happy to get things sorted in less than a week for me. He is professional, prompt and so dedicated to his clients success. I highly recommend him and the team to anybody seeking any legal council or assistance, they will not let you down and will take the time to walk you through your options without making you feel scared or unsure about anything. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Update re the firms response. I have been in direct contact with the firm to try resolve, many times. They just ignore me and hold on to my funds, partially taken from trust without approval & partially for work that wasn’t what was asked for , or used/ useable/ didn’t work started from scratch elsewhere. I’ve started a complaint with the Judicial review commissioner & will likely have to go through magistrates & pay for a lawyer (& seek those extra thousands in addition) given that I’m up against a lawyer. Essentially if you’re in a stressful situation & you need someone to help you manage it, be aware that you may end up with double the stress and two horrid matters if you choose the wrong lawyer. Horrifying

——

I’ve had a really bad experience. I asked for a letter with my legal rights for a matter (real estate firm acting outside of legal bounds), I was told I don’t need the legal rights listed and not to bother and this will get the result. It didn’t, I paid because of the back and forth & them saying it seems it will work – shouldn’t have should have gone elsewhere and got the legal rights letter of demand I wanted/needed for future recourse.
.
I had another (primary matter), neighbour tree & house damage issue, and I had an invoice racked up of thousands without anything getting done. Noting that my new lawyer didn’t need any of that, hence it’s has not charged even 1/10th for the same amount of work and that’s even with a 30% more per hour cost due to 20yrs experience. It’s been 2hrs of charge with them (so under 1k) and I’ve gotten further in that time with zero delays or errors.
So much time wasted with uselessss back and forth, letters to client and instruction letters issued in the wrong name or with spelling errors in a key name, on every doc I saw that was issued (without exception, x3 back to back). An unusable expert report was done and Mark tried to convince me to use it, what a disaster so lucky I didn’t and moved on.
.
They’re now keeping my 2.5k in trust and the extra $450 for a letter that isn’t what I asked for that didn’t work the way they wanted to do it (vs the way I did, outlining future legal options). Tricked in to paying it told it worked but once I paid they didn’t follow up with client given all the concerns with them being made known and cancelling the larger (tree) matter, and it achieved zero.
.
It seems with only a few years experience setting up a firm, just before COVID, very green, very painful for me. With the delays and costs I’m in a worse position than before and now have to go through an external process to fight to have my funds returned from them, on top of the dozens of hours on end & o going for the matters themselves.
.
Mark seemed so nice at first & even the first time I flagged some concerns. However. When I wasn’t tol the first meeting would be charged & was asked to sign an agreement in person then wasn’t sent a copy of that to know terms & was invoiced – I wasn’t happy to pay but thought I’ll put it in trust and see if we go ahead decently thinking it’s safe in trust & it was taken out of it based on agreement terms for which they forgot to send me a copy to review/ know…I should have stopped then and not gone ahead but the hoped it was a one off, they were busy and apologised – generally called or emailed back promptly once I chased them. It’s never a one off. You shouldn’t need to chase them up.
.
I hope this helps others looking to use this firms services. I would recommend going with one with 15yrs experience. I can’t believe I’m being charged 3k and absolutely nothing I needed was done, and the stress added is more than before I started. Guys. I would engage with care. -S (-snr property professional, in my 40s)

Ps- The firm I am now with. Brilliant. Zero issues. I can update this review in coming months to write who they are & share /refer once I’ve worked with them for an entire case.

Joan and Tamara have helped our family with our wills. They are extremely knowledgeable, caring and professional. I have recommended them to many of my friends. It’s hard going through the process and both Tamara and Joan knew how to ask just the right questions to help and support with the reflection process. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for helping make a complex and difficult decisions regarding advance directives. I like the care taken to listen, understand and apply our thoughts and feelings into the numerous legal documents that are the advance directives. Thank you Joan and Tamara.

Michael Rizzuto was brilliant, he listened carefully then translated & communicated a complex situation with patience so it was clearly understood.
Thank you Michael we really appreciated your time and effort

Yes we have been very happy with the treatment we have received as we did our wills with them just went in to put all in order can recommend them very highly. ,

Make sure you know there is no first free consultation it will be $420 we were advised to go to them for a free consultation but it wasn’t so be forewarned.

We got our wills done at Sedsman Legal. We are very happy with their services. Can highly recommend

I am very pleased with the service provided by Sedsman Legal. Advice on my Will & Estate was invaluable.
