I wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback on the services you provided
during my recent property transaction.I was very satisfied with the service
provided. Your professionalism and knowledge of the conveyancing process were
evident throughout, which helped to make what could have been a stressful
process much more manageable.I appreciated the clarity with which you explained
each step of the process. Your timely responses to my queries were particularly
helpful.The transaction was handled efficiently, with all the key milestones
being met on time.Your professionalism was commendable, and your attention to
detail in reviewing documents was reassuring. I felt confident that all aspects
of the transaction were being handled with care.I found the fees to be
reasonable, and I believe the service provided was good value for the cost. The
cost transparency was appreciated, and there were no unexpected charges, which
was a relief. I would recommend your services to others, particularly because of
your clear communication and professional approach. I would consider using your
services again for any future property transactions. Thank you once again for
your assistance during this process.

My husband and I recently updated our Wills and Powers of Attorney. Previously
we had completed pro forma wills ourselves but decided we needed professional
advice as we have a blended family. We sought help from Burgess Thompson and we
were more than happy with the choice. From the first meeting with Damian Burgess
we felt at ease and comfortable. Damian answered our queries in a simple and
straightforward manner and we felt fully involved in the process. Damian was
also excellent in communicating by phone and advising when some processes were
complete. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Damian and we will
definitely return if we need more assistance with any future legal matters.

Can I give BT 6 out of 5 stars? My husband and I recently used Burgess Thompson
as the solicitors for our house purchase and honestly, we were blown away with
their level of service and professionalism. We can not recommend Burgess
Thompson highly enough. They provided us with simple to read and thorough
information sheets at every step of the process and their attention to detail
was immaculate. They responded to our questions/inquiries almost instantly. They
represent true legal “partners” and had us thinking about topics we wouldn’t
have considered without their guidance. We will be using them for all future
legal matters. If you need any legal work done, Burgess Thompson is your firm.
Thank me later!
