We want to express our gratitude to James Thompson and the team at Burgess Thompson for their professional legal support during our recent residential purchase. Despite a complex contract that required an extended negotiation period, BT remained dedicated and helped us finalise the process quickly. Their excellent advice was invaluable, leading to a fantastic outcome with minimal stress.

My husband and I recently updated our Wills and Powers of Attorney. Previously we had completed pro forma wills ourselves but decided we needed professional advice as we have a blended family. We sought help from Burgess Thompson and we were more than happy with the choice. From the first meeting with Damian Burgess we felt at ease and comfortable. Damian answered our queries in a simple and straightforward manner and we felt fully involved in the process. Damian was also excellent in communicating by phone and advising when some processes were complete. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Damian and we will definitely return if we need more assistance with any future legal matters. Noelene & Barry Timmins

Can I give BT 6 out of 5 stars? My husband and I recently used Burgess Thompson as the solicitors for our house purchase and honestly, we were blown away with their level of service and professionalism. We can not recommend Burgess Thompson highly enough. They provided us with simple to read and thorough information sheets at every step of the process and their attention to detail was immaculate. They responded to our questions/inquiries almost instantly. They represent true legal “partners” and had us thinking about topics we wouldn’t have considered without their guidance. We will be using them for all future legal matters. If you need any legal work done, Burgess Thompson is your firm. Thank me later!

My wife and I engaged with Damian Burgess in a preliminary meeting to discuss several matters which we needed to have in place . As a pair of octogenarians we were treated with the utmost respect and genuine care, right from our arrival. Our discussions and the resulting outcomes were effectively put into place. Damian was careful to ensure we were comfortable with the decisions and we now look forward to viewing the resultant document. Overall a pleasant and fruitful visit.
