Brander Smith McKnight Lawyers

I needed a solicitor after my five year de facto relationship ended. I needed and wanted to protect my assets (property) as I was worried I was going to be screwed over by my ex (so to speak). After googling solicitors, William’s name appeared and along with it were many great reviews. William has protected my assets, he was friendly, straight to the point, no nonsense, professional, understanding, hardworking and very aware that his time was costing me money, that really impressed me - no hidden or additional fees.
Thank you William for making a very stressful and emotional time much easier, here is another five star review for you , very well deserved.

Solid 5 stars for William Onishi for handling my debt recovery litigation from start to finish. William managed my case seamlessly, proving to be an excellent communicator and listener through our interactions on FaceTime, emails, and telephone calls. The convenience of not needing to meet in person was a significant plus. I highly recommend William to my family and friends for any legal needs.

William Onishi was my solicitor for my lease review and negotiation. William was easy to approach, responsive to my calls and emails, very helpful and trustworthy. I had a good experience with William and he empathized with me. 5 stars!!!

5 start to William Onishi, We needed a Solicitor to assist as with a purchase of a property, and he did not dissappoint, he was very tentative to everything I was asking, as well as very helpful at giving advice as this was our first time purchasing a property, he made it so easy from start to finish, and would even answer question outside of work hours, i will not have any issue recomending William to any of my family and friends.

Thank you so much for your Help.

I am happy to give my solicitor William Onishi 5 stars for acting for my employment law litigation. William was very informative, provided me with the right advice, he did what I wanted him to do and he got the excellent result the way that I wanted it. Without a doubt, it is a 5 star for me!!!

5 star review for my solicitor William Onishi in relation to my very interesting family law matter including property transactions. William was helpful, thorough in his work, quick to meet my deadline and explained in detail what to do. I would have no hesitation referring my family and friends to William.

Thank you William Onishi for your work and assistance throughout my family law and property transaction. 5 stars for his advice, understanding, team player and results! I appreciate it when you dropped everything for me when my ex partner realised that his preapproval loan was about to expire. William was also prompt in responding to me. I will be recommending my friends and family to William.

I received great service from Mark Smith. Communication was easy, he's down to earth yet professional and even (surprisingly to me) gave me advice to save me costly fees. Should I ever need a trustworthy Lawyer again, then Mark will be the man I'd engage with.

William Onishi obtained 5 stars results for my elderly dad in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. At the beginning my dad had nothing and he now has a beautiful home to live in and some money because of William's 5 stars results. William dealt with obtaining medical evidence for my dad and wrote lengthy evidence for my dad. He fought very hard for us at the mediation and all the way to the Supreme Court hearing. I will be coming back to see William for more legal work for him carry out for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our Lawyer William Onishi at Branders Smith Mc Knight is an exceptional Lawyer.
He has been working for our direct and extended family, as well as our friends, for years now. We have referred so many of our inner circle because we know and trust that he will look after them, and always does.
He is highly professional and experienced and is always able to offer detailed quality advice and documentation. His communication and actions are reliable, including calling back on the day he says he will, even if it is after hours. His altruism in business is refreshing and has been invaluable to us. An example is that he made himself available over a weekend when we were finalising a contract and because issues came up we were able to refer to him immediately and have a better result than we were planning for in the matter.
William has dealt with such a wide range of legal matters for us from probate and conveyancing, to a statement of claim and court representation. In every single case, his charges were reasonable and clearly communicated. We often notice that he must have worked very hard because a considerable amount gets done in a timely and accurate way.
We will continue to recommend him as he is a credit to his profession.

Was really stressed dealing with a car insurance scam and Mark Smith was a life saver. He spoke to me about all of my options and reassured me that I had taken all of the right steps to protect myself. All in a 20 minute free consultation. I’ll definitely be using Mark Smith's services if this situation requires further action.

This firm always made me feel better when I needed help. They were always comforting in stressful situations. Kyle Dmoch especially was the best help! I definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs legal advice with anything they want. If I ever come into trouble again, I’ll definitely be calling Kyle again.

Our solicitor William Onishi provided us with tax and asset protection advice. He receives 5 stars because his service was very good, he got back to us during the busy Christmas season, I was happy with his costs and his personal demeanor. I would be highly recommending our family and friends to William.

Our solicitor William Onishi answered all of our legal questions, communicated effectively with us and followed up with us on its progress. He worked on our discretionary trust setup and trustee company setup and he provided us with trust, tax, GST and stamp duty advice. Thanks for your hard work on this!

Lachlan Tax and Ryan Ren from Brander Smith McKnight lawyers did a fantastic job preparing for my defence. They communicated very well with us throughout the length of the proceedings and achieved an excellent result in court. I recommend them highly for anyone who needs representation within the court system.

I have just been represented in the Downing Centre District court by Mr. Lachlan Tax of Brander Smith McKnight Lawyers and I can not speak highly enough of Lachlan and the outcome he secured for me. It was much lower than expected. Lachlan was very kind & emphatic & understanding to my situation and provided me a course to change my perspective on anger management. I would recommend Lachlan Tax to anyone in need of an excellent lawyer.

I recently engaged with Lachlan Tax on an initial consultancy basis. From the outset, Lachlan made me feel important and that my matter was a priority to him and the firm. Lachlan understood my priorities and concerns and guided me through the process. The outcome was better than expected. Thank you Lachlan.

5 stars for my solicitor William Onishi for dealing with my very complex family law and property matters. William was helpful, organised, had attention to detail, provided concise explanation of the issues, explained things well and picked out issues for me to watch out for.

Thanks William for preparing my Mother’s Will, Enduring Power of Attorney and Appointment of Enduring Guardian. 5 stars for the timing of our long-distance communication, and your patience in setting up our Zoom Meetings; it made the whole process quite easy, saving Mum the trip to your office at Sutherland from her home on the Mid North Coast. I highly recommend William to others to carry out Estate planning work.
