I am an Accountant who has Bayside Wills & Estates as my preferred contact for all my clients. As an involved and observant accountant, I attend all meetings with my clients and have found them to be extremely professional and honest.
Fantastic firm led by an exceptional practitioner in Elizabeth Michael. Highly recommended.
Couldn’t recommend Bayside Wills & Estates more highly! Not only as a client myself but having seen Elizabeth and her team save people thousands and thousands of dollars due to dodgy real estate transactions, which they managed to extricate them from – Elizabeth’s superior knowledge and skill saved them.
I have been a client of Bayside Wills & Estates and want to express Elizabeth Michael’s professionalism in attending to my individual requirements. Because of her quality legal advice and representation, a positive result was experienced. I have no hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking prompt and professional legal advice.
I cannot recommend highly enough. With Elizabeth Michael at the helm, this team undertook some complex real estate and estate planning work for us, under time pressure. All of it was executed with care, friendliness, attention to detail and in a timely fashion. As a dual American-Australian, I find Elizabeth’s knowledge especially helpful, but my husband and I would recommend them to anyone needing legal advice within their scope of practice.
We have been provided with the services of Ms Elizabeth Michael on different occasions and with different types of legal advice. Each time Elizabeth demonstrated attention to detail and specifics of our legal requirements, supported by her highly efficient team.
We found the service professional, and most importantly ethical, knowledgeable, high level of involvement and caring with provision of services in a timely and efficient manner. I would have no hesitation recommending Ms Michael as a legal professional.
