Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams Lawyers

Fantastic law firm. I had wonderful dealings with Neville and Steve Shelley. I'd highly recommend them!

I am a relatively new client after my lawyer retired. Nicole Russell has given me great comfort and reassurance through her professionalism, knowledge and impeccable service. Nicole looks after both my personal and business matters and highly recommend her unquestionable attention to detail !

We continue to use Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams for all our property transactions because of your consistent and reliable service. Brittni was, once again, superb. Her timely advice and attention to detail made the whole process of buying our new home straight forward and stress free. Thank you to Brittni and to the rest of the team.

My wife and I have been very happy clients of HOCW city office. It was convenient to use the Mt Waverley office to assist my mother-in-law with various legal documents including will and POA. Samantha and the office team provided excellent service. They were very patient with my mother-in-law who is not fluent in English. They arranged translators when necessary. We were very happy with the outcomes.

Brad was an amazing help with his vast knowledge of franchise businesses, he was completely switched on when it came to the purchasing our business.

I would highly recommend Brad from (Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams). He was extremely punctual, professional, time savvy and best of all was empathetic to our situation and a wonderful person.

I cannot speaking more highly of Brad, and will definitely be doing more business with him and the company in the future.
Thank you so much for making me feel like you always had our backs and explaining everything to us in depth.
Also always taking our call at all times of the day and nights and for your professional advice and caring nature.

Warmest regards

Travis Reints and Family

I can't thank Brittni enough for her help! There is so much involved in buying a house, more than most people know, and so having someone so knowledgeable to guide you through the process and be willing to assist in any way was just so reassuring. It can be a bit of a stressful situation but Brittni was always there to put our minds at ease. She went above and beyond, stepping in to help whenever we needed and was only ever a phone call or email away. Highly recommended!

My wife Patricia and myself approached Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams Lawyers to review our present wills, also to update our Powers of Attorneys, from the moment we walked in the door we were approached with total professionalism and understanding, they listened to our wishes and advised us as to the best course of action. We were completely happy with all aspects of our dealings and very impressed with the manner that we were treated, we would totally recommend this firm to anyone.

I used HOCW for my Conveyancing for my first property and they were absolutely fantastic. I requested to bring my settlement forward and they made it all happen! Sarah, Nicole and Leah were wonderful to deal with and made everything so easy. Couldn't recommend them more!

Nicole Russell has done an amazing job helping with the sale of my property and purchase of another one. She is very quick to respond and will go above and beyond to help with anything. We will continue to use her and couldn't ask for better service!

I first reached out to the commercial team at HOCW with quite a large scale project involving a purchase of an existing business I was planning to convert into a franchise whilst negotiating favourable leasing terms and fit out cost.

Bradley, Brendan and Di who were involved in every aspect of the project Brough such professionalism, superior advice and immersed themselves in producing the best outcome for me.

I will be forever grateful and can't promote them enough. They have a client for life and I will be proud to recommend them to anyone looking for a great team of commercial solicitors.

I had Brittni do my conveyancing and she was phenomenal.!
As a first home buyer, I had no idea what I was doing and she answered all my silly questions that I would have felt otherwise uncomfortable asking and broke everything down so it made 100% sense and I knew exactly what I was getting!
Not only that, she made sure I had all the information and assisted me in asking question I didn’t know to ask of other people when buying a house!
Process was see less and made so much easier than I would had ever expected.
Could not recommend more highly, especially Brittni!
Thank you so much!

We bought and sold properties recently using the Conveyancing service, in particular our experience with Brittni was excellent. She sorted out all issues promptly and proved to be extremely competent and capable and reflects very well on the HOCW firm.

Amazing service from Steve Shelley in property law to settle a complicated property purchase. Incredibly diligent and left no stone unturned to ensure a smooth settlement. This is the third or fourth time I have worked with Steve and have always felt it’s such a great service and the fees are very reasonable.

Every staff member I dealt with at HOCW was friendly yet professional in their handling of my mother's estate. In particular Brendan O and Andrea B provided outstanding attention and went out of their way to provide valuable information and advice. They clearly explained anything I was unsure about or unfamiliar with. They always took into account the sensitive nature of the matter and I have no hesitation in recommending HOCW and in particular Brendan O and Andrea B for any legal matters.

A big thank you to Steve Shelley for all his hard work.
We were especially impressed by his thoroughness and patience in explaining contracts from the outset. Not often that someone invests so much time without the promise of financial gain.
Customer service is king, and yours was exemplary. We wish you all the best for the future!

We approached Brittni from Hicks Oakley to look after the conveyancing work for our first home purchase shortly after having bought the place at auction. Being our first home, we were not too sure what to expect and what we needed to do but we did want it to be seamless with things falling in line when they were expected to. That is very much what we got! We did not get frequent updates (not that we were expecting to) but it was evident from the few updates we did receive that there was work being done in the background. Settlement also happened seamlessly as it was very clear to us what paperwork would have to be arranged prior (which we did).

All in all, positive outcome and positive experience!

I have been associated with the team from Hicks Oakley Chessell Williams for some years now as they handled my late mother's affairs and I have found them to be thorough, efficient and helpful. I would like to thank Lachlan Valance and Andrea Bolitho for for their professional service and excellent communication. I would not hesitate in recommending HOCW to anyone requiring legal representation. D.

I want to say how impressed I was with Vincent Caruso initially then with Bradley Nicholl in my recent mediation in which I needed lawyers that really knew their stuff. As a layperson I could not fault their expertise in any way which resulted in a satisfactory resolution for everyone.The time and effort in preparing my case, keeping me in the loop throughout the whole process was reassuring. Bradley Nicholl did an amazing job in a difficult matter and I would recommend him without reservation.

I previously engaged Hicks Oakley for a sale of business. Highly recommend after a very un-professional experience with a previous Practice Hicks Oakley were professional, thorough and very quick to respond. In the past I have used the services of Deborah Kliger and would also highly recommend her for your Wills and Estate services

Steve Shelley is a pleasure to work with. He is very courteous, responsive and was absolutely protective of our interests all the way through the buying and selling process for our family home. Will definitely use his services again.
