David Potts is the most humanitarian and kind person. He listens, he defends and protects and is trustworthy. He has qualities that far exceed those found in the usual lawyer.

Thanks again for all your help. You’ve been the best, couldn’t have got this far without your support.

Professional service from the start to the finish. Thank you for your guidance, professional service and knowledge throughout. I would highly recommend the team at Kells!

David's involvement brought an immediate stop to what I saw as bullying and intimidatory behaviour on the part of my employer. I would recommend that any worker who feels that they are being unfairly treated in the workplace should put one of the Kells' team between them and their employer.

Nicki’s service was excellent. We didn’t have specific deadlines but the service was completed in a timely manner. This is the 2nd time we have used Kells, and both times we have been happy with the service. Thank you.

Extremely happy with Nicki. She was friendly, efficient and explained clearly all the process required. Thank you.

Nicki provided advice not only as a result of my requests, but related information as well to ensure my best interest.

Thank you for your prompt, friendly and professional service.

Thank you Patrick. Although it was such a stressful time for us, you made us feel positive and composed throughout. We trusted your judgement and approach to the whole situation and are very thankful for your time and commitment to the both of us and our case.

Thank you so much. I’m finding life a lot less stressful with you and your team on my side!

Thanks again Patrick for today. It was very interesting to listen to you. You are very good at your job! I’m very pleased with the outcome, it has lifted so much weight off my shoulders already. Thank you so much, you are amazing!

Thank you Patrick. I was most impressed by the help and professional services offered. The result is far better than I thought would be achieved. Listening to the other cases before mine, I feared the worst. This retention of my mobility will enable me to carry on with my medical treatments.

Thank you for your time and help on my case. After a more than good outcome, it shows that the work of yourself and Harry is amazing. I had all but accepted the fact that I was probably going to jail. It was going to be hard for me to accepts so I want to thank you again and let you know that my life from here on out will be brighter. I will now continue to be of good behaviour so I don’t let myself down and also don’t let your good work be for nothing.

Thank you so, so, so much for winning my case. I truly wouldn’t have won it without you. Thank you for putting in all your hard work and determination for me. Winning this case meant a lot to me and I appreciate you a-lot.

I wanted to thank you for doing such a brilliant job with my case and I really appreciate it.

Thanks again, you don’t understand the relief you now have given me knowing you are my lawyer. You are amazing at your job and all I can do is thank you.

Now that it’s all done and dusted Patrick I cannot thank you enough for the way that you handled everything. You made me feel like everything was gonna be okay and it will be. I really, really, really have no words, except thank you!

Mr Schmidt I think you are the best money I ever spent in my quite long life…

Ashleigh was so helpful and assisted me with all my questions. Could have not asked for any more support. She made it a smooth and easy process to go through even though it was a difficult personal matter.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. I am very grateful to have had you and for everything you have put in over the past two years. So thank you again, we are very appreciative, and grateful to have had you as our lawyer.

A huge thanks to you and your team for everything you have done to help ensure that my Dad got the best possible outcome. With me being interstate, it has reassured me to know that you really were looking out for my Dad. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We are going to miss dealing with you. You have been a pleasure to work with and I am so grateful that you took such good care of our family and were so willing to work with me given I live interstate.

I am very happy. Thank you Ashleigh.

Thank you for everything. I’ve been very blessed to have you on my side looking after all this. You really are wonderful. Thanks heaps.

It was a very difficult time but from our first meeting I had every confidence in you and I knew you would look after me. I know you say it’s your job but I want you to know that your advice made it so much easier. Knowing that I could rely on you to back me. So many people said “I hope you have a good solicitor.” The one thing I could answer without any hesitation is “yes I do, I have the best! Thanks again for everything.

It was hard to believe there was ever going to be light again… and without your consistence efforts, all your help and endless support, I truly don’t believe I would have made it! I can’t thank you and your team enough. You have no idea how much I appreciate you and how grateful I feel. You have my sincere thank you and your firm will be at the TOP of the TOP recommendation list for people seeking help to similar battles I had. Thank you again Ashleigh.

It’s very clear the work you do is more than just a job to you. I’m very grateful you accepted me as a client. Words cannot express how much relief your work has given me. Moving forward these orders will drastically improve our day to day life. Thank you for everything you have done and the speed at which you did it all. If your work ethic and knowledge is an example of all the Kells employees, I will be using Kells for everything possible!

Thank you so much for your time. You were incredibly helpful and absolutely lovely and you’ve eased my mind about a few things. I’m extremely grateful.

The sale of my property was seamless due to the efforts of Jarrad and his team. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the future.

Could not have asked for more from Jarrad. His level of professionalism was incredible, he kept us well informed on all matters concerning the purchase and exchange of our first home. We feel we will definitely use Kells for any legal requirement we may have in the future.

I have recommended Jarrad previously and continue to use Kells for all our legal needs.

Jarrad and his team at Kells where such a great help during this huge milestone in our lives. We cannot thank him and his team enough.

This isn’t the first time I’ve brought and sold a house, and you did a very good job and made it so much easier. Jarrad also did an excellent job with our Wills, we are very please with everything he did.

Jarrad was outstanding through the whole process of the unit purchase. We have used Jarrad previously & have found he goes beyond the call of duty. He kept me constantly informed from the start to settlement. He has a kind, caring nature and was very approachable if I needed to contact him. An amazing knowledgeable employee you have at Kells.

Jarrad made everything easy and understandable. Did everything we asked and kept us informed. When we needed something all the staff were there to help. Thank you.

We really appreciate the customer service and legal advice from Jarrad. He really looked after us. I would recommend the firm to family and friends. Thanks Kells.

Jarrad was a wealth of knowledge. How he can just rattle off all the legal requirements, off the top of his head, is beyond me. He was very friendly and personable, whilst being totally professional.

My wife and I had approached other firms which could not fulfill our requirements for our Wills. Jarrad could and did brilliantly. Congratulations to the Kells team we dealt with.

Thank you Franca for all your help over the past few years. Much appreciated.

A huge thank you for everything you have done for me.

I would like to thank Franca and Kim for their ongoing support and advice during a very stressful time. They were both very professional and supportive during the entire process. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making this process a breeze and being so prompt with updates. The communication was exceptional! Will be recommending you guys in the future to others.

Would like to say thank you for your work and the good result.

It has been an absolute pleasure to be guided by you Franca. I could rely on you to be in control of the whole situation, you have my deepest gratitude. I am indebted to the staff at Kells for seeing me through this most difficult of times, and it is a tremendous sense of relief that I can now look forward to planning my future.

Franca made the whole process a lot less stressful. All costs were outlined at the beginning. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Will definitely use Kells again.

Thank you very much for your services.

Everyone I have dealt with at Kells have been excellent – professional, knowledgeable as well as friendly. During this stressful time, Kells made the journey more manageable and I recommend their services to anyone. Praise for everyone. Thank you.

My legal team were absolutely wonderful. They explained every step of the process and kept me informed throughout the process. So well informed that I was not required to contact them to chase up anything. To top off this great service by the Kells team, the cost outlined came in under their estimate. I could not have had a better experience for my first experience of legal services. I would recommend Kells to others.

Thanks for all you have done you have gone above and beyond for me and I can’t thank you enough.

James, there’s good, there’s amazing, there’s the best, and somewhere very, very high above all those things is you! Thank you so much.

James, your hard work, attention to detail, and the energy you put in makes you the best and it doesn’t go unnoticed. I have the utmost respect and admiration for you and wholeheartedly trust your decisions.

I wanted to thank you for your enormous help with our settlement. This has been an incredibly successful project for us and we would not have achieved it in the time frame that we did without you. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all your time and efforts to get me fully prepared for my final hearing. You’re a dead set lifesaver! Your final evidence statements and submissions looked and read SPOT ON. Many, many thanks.

I’m truly grateful for all your efforts and guidance throughout this matter. Again, thank you, thank you!

Many thanks Harry – you are lovely to work with.

Thank you for your time and help on my case. After a more than good outcome, it shows that the work of yourself and Patrick is amazing. I had all but accepted the fact that I was probably going to jail. It was going to be hard for me to accepts so I want to thank you again and let you know that my life from here on out will be brighter. I will now continue to be of good behaviour so I don’t let myself down and also don’t let your good work be for nothing.

I just wanted to say a sincere THANK YOU to you for going in to bat for us, and getting the desired result. It has removed so much anxiety! I now feel we can move on with our lives.

Thank you once again Harry I appreciate your help in the matter and I will certainly be on my best behaviour from now on!

Professional job well done.

I was very impressed with the services provided over the last few weeks by Harry. His professionalism, knowledge and understanding assisted greatly through a most stressful time.

I just want to thank you again for such a good outcome and your professional service.

Thank you so much for the care and compassion you have both given and shown to me during this time.

I am glad the whole thing is over. We are very lucky to have you representing us in the matter which yield a positive outcome. Thanks again!

Thank you again for your support with this matter. I believe the outcome was the best possible in my situation, and that your presentation of my case greatly influenced the outcome.

I was very impressed and happy with your service and cannot recommend you enough. Thank you Cohben.

You have made our dreams come true in assisting us to recover monies owed for works completed. Legend!

Many thanks Cohben. I truly appreciate your help with my matter. You’ve been nothing but wonderful.

Excellent. Thank you. I want to express our gratitude for your advice and diligence in achieving the outcome we did.

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of your hard work, especially over the last 12 months! You have been more than instrumental in ensuring our organisation have made it through the business and property restructure as seamlessly as possible (among other items!). I greatly appreciate all of your insights and advice, thank you for always being just a phone call away!

Olivia Southall and the staff at Kells’ Thirroul office are excellent! We have dealt with many law firms during our lifetime and rate Olivia and the staff as the best in the business.

Olivia dealt quickly and systematically with all matters relating to the sale and purchase of our properties and was a delight to work with.

Thank you very much for helping to steer me through “unchartered” waters. It has been greatly appreciated.

Olivia has been fantastic with the selling of our family home and subsequent purchase of our next home. Will continue to use Kells.

Good job Olivia! Felt like I was in good hands.

Olivia was very responsive and approachable. She was knowledgeable and kept us well informed even though there were delays in our settlement. Thanks Olivia.

Thank you for your assistance and I am very happy with the way you conducted your assistance, 100%.

Thank you so much for everything you have done. It has been a very professional and seamless experience.

Thanks so much for all your wonderful help, support and guidance with the sale of our parents house. It was so reassuring to have you guiding us through the process and we deeply appreciate all your great work. Thanks so much.

Thankyou for all your help and kind support getting us to this stage in the settlement of my mothers estate. You have been very understanding and honest about our situation. Thank you again!

You have been so helpful and so fast. I honestly cannot thank you enough.

Thank you Kareena for inspiring confidence in me to feel comfortable with the whole process.

Thank you heaps for getting my life right on track. Thank you much appreciated.

Amazing outcome. Thanks again for your work.

Thanks so much for your help Sam.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it!

Thank you for everything, I couldn’t be more appreciative.

Thank you so much for all your help during this process, you have been fantastic.

Once again, a good result.

Thank you both so much for all your hard work and success. We were very pleased with the result.

Thank you so much. You have made this process a breeze and have been amazing to deal with.

It has at times been a difficult process for me (and others) so many thanks for your ongoing assistance and direction.

Thank you so much for all your amazing help.

Thank goodness you have been the catalyst to advance the process to this stage.

We take this opportunity to thank you, most sincerely, for your assistance and guidance to bring this matter to a successful completion.

Thank you so much for all your help this year – you have made my job so much easier.

Thank you for the support. You made me feel really cared for. Thank you Colleen.

It was wonderful to talk to you today. You were exceptional. Thank you.

Professional service from the start to the finish. Thank you for your guidance, professional service and knowledge throughout. I would highly recommend the team at Kells!

Wanted to express my gratitude to you and your team for taking the time to look into our case. My husband and I were so happy and feel confident to have had Kells representing us.

I would really like to thank you so much for all you have done for me. I left your office today crying and I really appreciate everything. Kells is a great company. I used them to buy my first house. Anyway, thank you so much.

I would like to thank you for your amazing commitment, courage, guidance and your amazing client service. I truly could not have done this without you and everyone at Kells involved. All the best and thank you again.

Very happy with the service you provided. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your help with everything. You really made us feel supported and were so helpful and kind.

Colleen was amazing and I couldn’t be happier with her assistance, commitment, care and courage. I am so lucky to have had her through out my journey. I couldn’t have done it without her!

On a personal level, Colleen is always kind, outgoing, happy and calm. As a client I can’t express how important this is, especially the calm aspect as things always come up unexpected and Colleen being such a calm and confident professional makes all the difference. Colleen is an outstanding lawyer and her attention to detail is impeccable no matter how menial or large the task is. I cannot speak highly enough of her and this referral does not does not give her the praise she deserves. Thank you Colleen.

Kim consistently exceeds expectations. Thank you.

Kim was great in all areas of my sale. She made it so easy. Thanks again Kim.

Thank you Kim and Katrina for keeping us updated in every step of our process. A true asset to your company! Well done.

I would like to thank Kim and Franca for their ongoing support and advice during a very stressful time. They were both very professional and supportive during the entire process.

Kim and Katrina were both amazing. Although most of my dealings were with Katrina, when she was away and I was dealing with Kim, it was perfect synergy. I truly believe I would not have been successful in purchasing my home due to the speedy deadlines of exchange and without the fast response of time and delivery of work. I will be coming back for future business. Thank you for your help!

Kim was very professional. Easy to get on with, very pleasant to deal with and very friendly.

Kim was super friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for making the process of purchasing our first home so easy!

Kim was amazing. Knowing that Kim was looking after my mother and had our best interest was such a relief.

Kim went above and beyond. She was excellent to deal with and a pleasure to do business with. Very professional. Thank you for your help and support with the purchase of our house.

Vanessa & Kyra were absolutely fantastic in their communication clarifying all details and helpfulness with any enquiries. We greatly appreciate their very thorough and personal service.

Wow Vanessa, you are incredibly fast and I thank you for your efficient service and speed of delivery! I’m impressed

Vanessa and Kyra were extremely helpful. Very positive with their attitude and always happy to help and answer our questions. All done with a smile and friendly approach.

Made everything easy and understandable. The ladies in the office were very friendly and accommodating and kept us informed. When we needed something, all the staff were there to help.

We could not be more satisfied with the service, advice, outcome and overall professionalism and friendliness of Vanessa and the entire Kells team. We will certainly engage Kells again and would wholeheartedly recommend Kells without hesitation.

We want to express how thankful we are for all your help in securing our first home. We are beyond excited and can’t express our gratitude enough! I feel like everyone says “thank you” but our “thank you” is the like the most sincerest, genuine and immeasureable thank you ever.

Could not ask for better and I have used Kells for multiple transactions over the last 7 years. Very confident with Vanessa’s knowledge. Vanessa is always 10 out of 10, very personal and she really does care about your matter, nothing is ever a problem and communication is always prompt and professional.

Vanessa was very knowledgeable and helpful at every step in the process of buying land. She was always happy to talk through any issues we had.

Vanessa was extremely helpful and kept me informed at every stage. She did her best to help me in any possible way that she could.

If I were to need a lawyer again I would definitely use Kells. Thank you.

Leesa is very professional and always eager to help and settle matters with minimum fuss.

Many thanks again for your efficient hard work. You make it all so easy.

Thank you for going above and beyond in helping us purchase our dream home. Very much appreciated!

Thank you again Leesa. Always prompt and professional.

Leesa handled my sale of my house extremely well. Highly recommend her services.

Leesa was extremely professional, knowledgeable and approachable. She worked out of hours to get my sale over the line.

Leesa was very professional and handled our matter expertly. Very satisfied. Thanks Leesa!

Thank you for your wonderful service and patience with me during the sale of my home after my divorce. I appreciate everything you have helped me with and have absolutely no hesitation in referring you to any of my friends, family and work colleagues.

A great service. Thank you Leesa.

Leesa Mak’s professionalism is refreshingly stellar. Her conveyancing knowledge and competency are beyond peer in my experience, mixed with rare humanitarian sincerity and wisdom that made my wife and I feel legally secure throughout past and recent real estate transactions. Therese is respectful and engaging at the front desk, making the important first impression of Kells count for clients. Both Leesa and Therese were thorough and efficient in their interactions. I will continue to recommend Leesa Mak as the consummate conveyancer, and Peter Martin’s legacy as an outstanding professional and mentor continues at Kells.

Angelique was very polite, considerate and professional. All our concerns were met with a pleasing well-being nature. The progress through the settlement of our mother’s estate could not have been managed better. Thank you Angelique.

I would just like to thank you for the assistance given in all matters concerning our father’s estate. Everyone was helpful at Kells and always approachable.

I would like to thank Angelique Bulliman and Olivia Southall for their assistance in defending my mother’s estate. They are a credit to Kells as nothing was a problem for them in assisting through my legal matter.

I’d like to thank Kells for their professional services delivered over the last 6 months. A special thanks to Angelique Bulliman for her patience, understanding and compassion.

The process of settling my mother’s estate had an unexpected twist which turned it into an arduous experience. However thanks to Angelique for working so hard in reaching a positive outcome for our family.

The service provided by Kells from our initial contact in 2011 to November 2020 from all the staff was nothing short of excellent. All our family members were very happy with your service.

Angelique was always warm, efficient and professional. Thank you Angelique.

Angelique was extremely easy to liaise with, nothing was an issue for her, even though I am in Western Australia and most correspondence had to be done via post. Thank you for making something that could of been very overwhelming.

Angelique was lovely to deal with and kept me well informed regarding all matters. Thank you.

I would use Kells again when we need legal advice and help. Everyone was very helpful especially Angelique.

My dealings with Shayne are beyond helpful and professional. Her knowledge and understanding of time lines, processes and her fast approach of getting things done is excellent. I would have to say Shayne is the most professional marketing manager I’ve ever dealt with as she knows what is needed and gets it done.

I have found Shayne to be a very reliable communicator in all areas of marketing and her communication skills. We have been working together for almost 4 years now and have built a sustainable working relationship. She is a great ambassador representing Kells Lawyers and I look forward to having a long and lasting working relationship with her.

Shayne goes above & beyond to ensure that things run smoothly, proactively asking questions and seeking out information to make sure that she gets the best outcome possible. Shayne is highly professional and easy to deal with, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Working with Shayne is always an absolute pleasure! Her briefs are always very clear and well thought out. And she always has a really happy and positive attitude towards each project.

Working with Shayne over the last 12 months has been a pleasure. Shayne has always delivered clear to the point direction on what she is wanting to achieve while always being polite, professional and approachable.

It’s been great working with Shayne and so very easy. Her friendly persona made it effortless when communicating and organising a food collection for Wollongong Homeless Hub. Thank you for your support

Shayne is always a pleasure to deal with. Whilst the projects may vary, her attitude and worth ethic makes the tasks all that much better. I can see that she makes a great asset to Kells, her colleagues and clients. Thanks Shayne.

The service and attention I received was outstanding and I felt a valued client from my first interaction - which I note, by the nature of the matter, required (and received) prompt action to commence....and then considerable patience thereafter - both of which I received from David and his assistant, Gabrielle. Thank you.

I must say an extra thankyou for being so timely in your responses. It's appreciated.

Woohoo!! Thank you so much Hayley we really appreciate your knowledge, wisdom and incredibly efficient way of working.

Just a note to say thank so much for today and all the other days you've worked so hard to get this exchange and settlement over the line for me and Chad and our family. Your attentiveness to our property sale and purchase saved us a lot of money in council rates, not to mention helping ease our minds when we had questions and uncertainty about the process. You made yourself very available to take our calls and emails, which I really appreciated. When we hit rocky patches, you were always so calm and clear with sound advice. I always knew you were on our side 100% of the way. Thank you!

The quality of your service is 5-star rating!

Hayley was a great communicator and kept us informed continually.

Would recommend.

I know that you have only recently worked on the sale of my Dad’s property but I wanted to say thank you so much for your time and your effort. You made a stressful time much more bearable for me in the kind and patient way that you walked me through all that needed to be done. I’m so grateful to you.

Would definitely recommend Hayley.

I would like to express my gratitude for your support and help with this part of my life. I feel you have shown that with caring people the law can be fair and help people through difficult times. I thank you for your respect and fairness and words cannot express how I feel only that with your help I now have purpose and direction in my life. Thank you.

I would like to express my gratitude for your support and help with this part of my life. I feel you have shown that with caring people the law can be fair and help people through difficult times.

I thank you for your respect and fairness I cannot find the words to express fairness and words cannot express how I feel only that with your help I now have purpose and direction in my life. Thank you.

I just want to say a very big thanks from myself and my mother for everything you did for me and a big thankyou for everything you did for me without charging any cost to me. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone I see that may need your services. Wishing you all the best into the future and I'm sure we will meet again. Just on better terms next time.

Thank you. We appreciate all your help and patience with the sale of our share of the business. We definitely picked the best firm. Wish you all the best for the future.

Many thanks for all your hard work and support. It is much appreciated.

Thank you for all your efforts.

You have done very well with our hire matter. It was a difficult matter to say the least, but you have handled it professionally and methodically. Especially with people like me calling all the time! Good on you and again well done.

Thanks for all the work you put in to achieve the settlement. A great relief after some anxiety!

Many thanks for all your hard work & support, Karsandra. It is appreciated.

Thank you for bringing it all together.

Thank you for your work on my matter. Not always easy taking over work from another firm.

Thank you for all your hard work and for always being patient and kind to us. We are so grateful to you.

I would just like to thank you for the work you did for me regarding my property settlement. Wonderful job. Thank you so much.

I want to thank you again for all your help today, you have made such a positive impact on us with your empathy, genuine compassion and understanding.

Thank you Melissa. I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude in relation to the empathy and understanding you demonstrated yesterday. I really thought that reaching out to lawyers was going to be daunting and confronting but I really felt at ease. So thank you !

Just wanted to say a big thank you to your firm and especially Harry, as today was the best possible outcome and you both made this whole experience for me a lot easier. I will definitely recommend you to others. Thanks again.

Just want to say massive thank you. No way were we expecting this outcome!!! Thanks for all your hard work and showing up every time to support us!! I hope we do not cross paths again, but if we ever need a lawyer your it! Thanks again Harry! You are the bomb!!!

Mate I can't say thank you enough you're a champion. More than satisfied with that outcome against the odds.

You are bloody gold Harry, worth every cent. Thank you so much. You are the absolute best!~

Glad this has all come to an end with successful outcome after a lengthy process. Thank you for all your help in this matter.

Thanks again for court and the great outcome.

I just want to say a very big thanks from myself and my mother for everything you did for me and a big thank you for everything you did for me without charge. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone I see that may need your services. I agree with your thoughts of engaging a barrister, he could really talk, but you were the brains behind everything I had to deal with. So, a great big thanks and thanks for being available when I needed to talk to you. Wishing you all the best into the future and I'm sure we will meet again. Just on better terms next time.

We’d like to thank you for your help with this distressing matter. Yor work has been very professional, caring, insightful, and incisive, a wonderfully impressive combination!

Thank you Harry for your work. It was the best outcome possible.
