After having so many problems with our last lawyers (Keam Standen) my first experience with Holland Beckett was a complete contrast. Professional, patient, concise and efficient. Cannot thank them (Sarah and Tereasa) enough and will be the top of the list for any additional work we need.
Appreciated the very professional , prompt support from Holland Beckett Associate Rebecca Steen. Always courteous and knowledgable. Would highly recommend this Law firm.
Diane Flynn has helped us successfully complete three property transactions in recent years and has, in every case, gone above and beyond to ensure the best outcomes for us. She has been available, sometimes at short notice, to provide advice or ensure transactions were completed on time. We have been clients of Holland Beckett Law for more than 30 years and thoroughly recommend this firm to anyone looking for professional, efficient and friendly service.
Highly recommend Holland Beckett, my husband and I would like to thank especially JOSH BHAGEERUTTY, for his outstanding service and help in our legal matter, he has been very supportive of my husband and his language barrier, Josh was able to speak the language we needed and translated everything, which made life a whole lot easier. Josh had been very patient and respectful towards my husband and explained every single complex and legal term in very simple terms to him. We appreciate all Josh’s help, once again, thank you.
I would never recommend Holland Beckett for Legal Aid work, especially under Leesa Speed. Despite me personally filing my Legal Aid application, they took it upon themselves to alter and re-submit it without my permission — even backdating it to the original submission date, which I find completely inappropriate and misleading. They then assigned other legal staff to my file without my consent — directly ignoring my written instructions. Worse still, I provided specific evidence to be sent to Legal Aid, and they chose not to attach it, despite confirming they would. They later claimed there was an “issue” — but never informed me at the time, leaving my application incomplete and misrepresented. In my view, this was careless, disrespectful, and showed zero regard for client authority or transparency. ⚠️ If you value honesty, clear communication, and control over your own legal file — do not use this firm.
