Best Hooper Lawyers

Absolutely stellar legal representation! From start to finish, the staff at Best Hooper displayed unmatched professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Their meticulous attention to detail and thorough understanding of the law ensured that my case was handled with the utmost care and precision. They were not only highly knowledgeable but also compassionate and empathetic, making me feel supported and reassured throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend the team at Best Hooper enough for anyone seeking top-tier legal assistance. They truly go above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for their clients.

Nothing less than eternal thanks and gratitude for Andrew Iser and his team at Best Hooper. Andrew was able to represent us at a VCAT appeal to challenge overbearing conditions imposed on our planning permit from the City of Yarra, and importantly achieve a successful outcome. Andrew's expertise in planning disputes and years of experience as an architect shone through.
Without Andrew's support and representation it is unlikely that we would have achieved the same outcome. I highly recommend to anyone that has a planning issue to stop what they are doing now and contact Andrew at Best Hooper.

We have been using the professional services of Best Hooper for a contentious Protection Works Notice, fencing dispute and adverse possession matter. Amelia Fradley and Robert McKay have provided exceptional legal advice and thoroughly sound recommendations, assisting us in navigating what could have been an extremely stressful and expensive process. Their attention to detail, patience and understanding were also very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

We have used the team at Best Hooper Lawyers on several property transactions in the last few years. Couldn't speak more highly of the team. Professional service, great advice. Fantastic team to work with. Highly recommend

I’ve worked with Best Hooper for over a decade, the most recent being Giancarlo and our successful lease negotiations with Coles. I believe that Best Hooper are highly professional, thorough and genuine and I’ve been very successful with their property and planning lawyers on multiple past projects. I strongly recommend using Best Hooper for all property matters.

We have been working with Best Hooper for years and have always found it to be a very productive experience. The attention to detail is next to none, the level of professionalism is always consistent and they produce results. We look forward to continuing to work together for many years to come.

We have dealt with the property team at Best Hooper on a number of occasions and really enjoyed working with Giancarlo Romano. He is very enthusiastic, on point and took into account our commercial considerations. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team at Best Hooper.

We had been in a stalemate with a council planning issue for about a year and Joel and Jonathan from Best Hooper were able to steer us to a resolution within a few months. They demonstrated a great deal of expertise and knowledge about the matter and the advice was realistic, frank and honest. We could not have achieved such a good outcome without them. We honestly can’t thank them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone!

We cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service given by Gian and his awesome team. Our property settlement process was taken care of every step of the way with great advice and attention to detail. Gian is extremely patient, and we were thoroughly informed throughout the process. We had a wonderful experience with Gian and would like to say Thank you!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I cannot recommend Emily, Ed & Beth highly enough.
The team have helped us through the duration of our planning permit, representing us at VCAT numerous times.
To say we are ecstatic about the successful outcome we have received is an understatement, their knowledge, expertise and communication was outstanding.
Thank you all.

Joel Snyder and his team at Best Hooper did an amazing job in making the settlement of our property as smooth as possible. All issues were attended to quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend them.

Edward Mahony from Best Hooper Lawyers and his team represented us throughout a VCAT response that was ultimately successful. Edward was engaged throughout, undertook careful and extensive research, exploited every opportunity he could find and didn't take a backward step when arguing for our position. Most of all, he kept our emotions at bay, our focus on the objective and the prioritisation of realisable goals. Highly recommended.

Can’t fault this team. Edward and Romy and Dom were fantastic throughout the project - supporting us through an unfamiliar and daunting process with expert advice and a nice balance of pragmatism. We were very very happy with the communication, counsel and advocacy. If I have a planning matter to deal with in the future I will be heading directly back to the Best Hooper team.

Our land adverse possession was always going to be testing given the level of general interest from a neighbour.
Taryn Parkinson ( lawyer ) applied an exacting process to the task. And kept us informed at each step including responding factually yet sensitively to our own questions and concerns
Taryn worked seamlessly with Joel Snyder ( managing partner ) including dealing firmly and comprehensively with a final hour challenge to our application.
Result - Application granted seemingly without fuss.
We know that is what professionals do.

Giancarlo and Best Hooper have been outstanding and we will continue to use them for all aspects relating to our property portfolio. Our sale contracts are ready within days, conveyances always run smoothly and their leasing advices has been extremely helpful. It is a pleasure dealing with them and I highly recommended their services.

The service received from Best Hooper and Joel Snyder in particular, was outstanding. The legal work related to the creation of an easement over land. Joel and his team had an extraordinary knowledge of the relevant law and provided clear advice on all the practical aspects. It was extremely impressive.
