DwyerLaw

Both Karen & Val at DwyerLaw were very easy to deal with, and I appreciated them representing me in conversations with the surveyor and Council. I'll definitely use them again.

I contacted Karen to review a building contract, which needed to be completed at very short notice - during the busiest time of the year leading up to the holidays. I was very appreciative of Karen's willingness to fit me into her busy schedule. She completed the review on time as promised and was very generous with her time answering a multitude of follow up questions, which included a number of complexities and back and forth negotiations with the builder. Karen is extremely knowledgable and highly professional; it is obvious that she brings to her work a wealth of experience and a customer-oriented focus which is hard to find and much appreciated. She was also very clear regarding her pricing and we completed the work within the budget she originally quoted.I enthusiastically recommend Karen and give her services a 5-star rating.

Not my lawyer but my neighbours' who tried to force us to convert our titles to freehold on their conditions through her even in absence of legally binding contract clearly outlining terms and conditions. We were threatened with a lawsuit and false claims to damages, but thankfully we had saved all email correspondence disproving their claims. Emails were written to us in which she stated that how we needed our neighbours' consent to convert our landing steps to a ramp, how they could enter our house to inspect, not let us have cat or dog if nuisance to them, etc!! Our neighbours went on building unconsented structures on their property under this impression. We were forced to hire a barrister just to reply to them as she would not stop sending us emails even when proof was available disproving her client's claim to damages. Never gave us reply when asked to but gave us deadline every time. Eventually after 6-7 months, we decided not to engage in any negotiation with them as it was just repeated emails not proving any of their claims, just trying to wear us out. Ultimately when nothing worked, she sent us invalid fence notice of approx 10 days whereas required by law is 21 days, now one would expect a property specialist to at least know about correct notice period required!! Our neighbour wanted to claim back their land but not give back ours whereas survey report was available to confirm the facts (or so they were advised and were actually under this impression). Our neighbour under this wrong impression, very confidently took us to tribunal in which they tried using our memo of lease to prove they are only lessors in lease and not lessees and also tried showing boundary on survey and was oblivious as to how they were also occupying part of our land. It took <2 hours to disprove their claims and our neighbours were surprised to find out the truth and withdrew their claim immediately to move fence or even bring out topic of converting titles. We went through huge financial setback and constant mental trauma, could have negotiated had it not been for her not recognising us as equal owners and telling us how we were holding her client ransom and how her client would demolish our garage, etc and other hurtful things written to us in emails. Definitely lacks negotiation skills and was not respectful to us. Needs to update her knowledge re crosslease to freehold conversions yet is ignorant and advocates conversion on existing covenants that are meant for cross lease purposes and not when converting to freehold which is a subdivision process. All owners are equal owners

It’s been brilliant having someone like Karen who’s legally got your back, and makes sure deals are set up right from the beginning.Cheers Karen

Karen, Val, and Tania are an amazing team. My partner and I were able to buy our first home together with complete ease and support thanks to them. The process of buying a home can be intimidating and confusing for first-time buyers, but we were able to relax while working with the wonderful team from Dwyer Law. Guided every step of the way, you made purchasing our first home an enjoyable and gratifying experience. We can't thank you enough!

Outstanding service! Would highly recommend especially for first home buyers like myself as Karen and her team went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information required and made it a very stress-free experience.

Not replying to my phone calls or emails. Not happy with their service. Would not recommend at the moment.

Karen is so knowledgeable and great at what she does! Highly recommend
