My experience with Pearsons Lawyers is a positive one. Staff are courteous, excellent customer service. The environment is inviting, friendly and welcoming.

I dealt with Brenda Ling for my separation. She was respectful throughout the entire process, and found a very good balance between being compassionate, considerate and honest with my expectations. Brenda has a good ability to explain things at different levels of understanding through what is understandably a stressful and unfamiliar process. I received a recommendation for Brenda from a trustworthy friend, and would happily recommend her to others.
Response from the owner:Tyler, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad Brenda's compassionate and clear approach made such a difference during your separation. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

It was a pleasure to deal with Pearsons Lawyers, Glenroy.... I had the honour of having Joseph Schepis and Amanda Vella help me through my divorce proceedings and it made a difficult time in my life so much easier.
Both Joe, Amanda and all the staff in the office were very friendly, sympathetic and professional and I couldn't have got through it without all of there help and advice.

I highly recommend Pearsons Lawyers, Glenroy for all family matters needs.

Thanks again to the whole team.
