Testimonials

• Thankyou for handling the estate of my mother. My mother was associated with your company for a long time, that's the way she wanted it. After the first meeting with Brendan O'Keefe, Nicole Russell and staff, it was obvious our family wouldn't be let down. What a great job Brendan, Nicole and their staff were able to achieve. I would like to personally congratulate HICKS OAKLEY CHESSELL WILLIAMS (Notary & Lawyers) for a job well done! This has been a very difficult time for our family. The close down due to Covid-19 made your job all the more difficult. We are all very happy with all outcomes. Thankyou, 

  C M, Wills & Estates & Conveyancing Client
