Hugh Dang and the team at Unified Lawyers guided us through the purchase of a unit in Feb-Mar 2021. They were great! They are knowledgeable and negotiated through a heavily adapted contract from the vendor to our benefit. There were a number of complications as well and having Hugh's advice at our fingertips was a real plus. Hugh was also readily approachable and accessible whenever needed. Highly recommended.read more

I spoke to a few other law firms before calling the team at Unified lawyers , it was very evident those firms were more about money than the distress I was experiencing at the time. I remember vividly my conversation with Donna on that Monday morning, she was calm and caring which made me feel so appreciated . I got an appointment that arvo with Alex and he was so caring and professional, it was very evident then that I found the right lawyers to represent me in my family law case. Through the entire process they kept me informed on everything. I can't thank Donna, Alex for all they have done for me during this process. I appreciate you both so much, and thanks so much for being genuine people who really care. I will always recommend Unified lawyers to anyone I know in need of great family lawyers. God bless you both richly !!read more
