What Our Clients Are Saying

Thank you so much Chris, for all your hard work and going above and beyond to achieve the amazing outcome you had originally promised me. A special thank you also to Allie for all her hard work and support and to Kim for completing the conveyancing. You and your wonderful staff enabled my children and I to move forward. An awesome family business and definitely reasonably price. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart.

The team at Adams Legal have been fantastic from the get go. From my initial enquiry regarding what to do when my marriage broke down, Chris was informative, empathetic and spoke to me in a way that was respectful and clear of understanding. He was open to my questions and answered them all. He and Allie took me through every step of the way when it came to matters of property settlement, ensuring I was kept in the loop at all times, and also gaining me the best possible outcome for myself and my children. Kim was wonderful to liaise with regarding the accounts and I felt respected and validated throughout the entire process. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the dedicated team from Adams Legal for any legal matters. They are sound proof that you don't need to go with a "Big Name" company to settle your legal matters - Adams Legal were as personable and approachable as they were professional.

Your Name

I have no hesitation recommending the highly professional team at Adams Legal. My Gazelle and I wife have used the team for Local Court matters, conveyancing, and importantly, legal advice when setting up our family trust and company. This advice has minimised costs and risk to our assests.

Incredible, thank you so much for all the hard work you’ve done to get us to this point. I’m so relieved it’s finally all finished. I don’t think I could have hoped for a better outcome than this in all honesty, I think it’s very fair.

I found my interactions with Adams Legal to be of an extremely high standard. They are a very responsive and professional team. Thank you Adams Legal, I appreciate your commitment and effort.

Great friendly helpful staff. Christopher Adams and family are the best team. Thank you.
