What Our Clients Say


  • "Adrian has been a pleasure to speak with, understanding in his conversations and up front. Has been a trustworthy experience with him dealing with unpleasant situations in which his expertise was required. Thank you once again, would highly recommend Adrian and the team at Solari & Stock."

    - J.B.

  • "My wife and I just purchased a property for investment and Vicki De Bonis handled conveyancing for us. As we have come to expect of her Vicki went the extra yards to ensure we were protected at all times and that the sale progressed to a satisfactory result. We have found Michael and the team at Solari and Stock to be very professional in their service and would recommend them to anyone seeking legal or property advice."

    - Allan & Kerry

  • "Adrian, the news is fantastic. I have to thankyou with the utmost of appreciation for your professional advice and guidance with the settlement."

    - Mark

  • "We’ve recently required critical advice relating to family matters including wills, power of attorney and sale of residence. Having been a client of Solari and Stock for many years we as a family had no hesitation in discussing and being advised by Michael. Michael was particularly gracious in his manner in ensuring that my elderly mother was given a complete understanding of all legal matters and requirements. In relation to the sale of the residence the conveyancing was led by Vicki who demonstrated high order communication skills and a real depth of knowledge of all requirements that ensured that we had complete confidence in a potentially stressful time. Congratulations and thanks to all the team at Solari and Stock!"

  • 'If you’re seeking a dedicated, compassionate, and truly exceptional property lawyer, look no further than Valentina Abouzeid. Over the past couple of years, we’ve navigated various property challenges, especially in assisting my father, who had dementia, with his extrication from a difficult retirement village in Padstow Heights. Valentina was an invaluable asset during this time. We can’t praise her enough for her promptness, expertise, and unwavering commitment to getting the job done. She took the time to educate us about the process, patiently explaining our legal position and what to expect at every step. Her quiet sense of humor also provided much-needed relief during stressful moments, allowing us to share a laugh when I was feeling "postal". Valentina is truly fabulous, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing straightforward conveyancing issues or more complex property matters as our sales and purchases have been, over the last couple of years.'

    - Meredith Collins and Geoff King

  • “Nikita was an absolute standout with her combined knowledge and approach, she provided quality advice and guidance and had the best interests of the client and all parties at heart, it was a pleasure working with her and I would not hesitate in recommending her to assist with any family law / property settlement matters."

    - Matt T, Sandringham NSW

  • "Thank you for all the correspondence regarding the Bonnet Bay and Thirlmere house. I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you from my father and myself for dealing with the sale of Bonnet Bay and the purchase of Thirlmere. You have been absolutely amazing throughout this whole process and I can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of my father and making it a smooth journey for him. Dad is slowly settling in to his new home and its great having him nearby. We worked very hard over the weekend unpacking and setting everything up for him. Wishing you all the very best Vicki and thank you again for all your hard work and understanding."

    - Simone and Bill

  • "I just wanted to let you both know that we thoroughly enjoyed working with Valentina to secure our daughter’s first property. She was always available to us, professional, engaging, communicated every step, and was really lovely to our daughter when she came in with us. What could have been a quite daunting experience for her was anything but. Valentina also made herself available to J, communicated clearly what she needed from him and was available when he came in to see her. All in all another wonderful experience that our family has had with Solari and Stock. Thank you."

    - M & E George

  • "After years of debating and wasting money on other lawyers, I changed to Solari and Stock on advice from a friend. Nikita was allocated my financial divorce separation process. My ex husband had been debating a split of finances for over five years and no resolution was determined until I switched to Nikita Ward. Nikita's expertise, attention to detail, proactive approach and tireless work including hours of communication between all Stakeholders, generated an offer that was financially beneficial to both myself and agreeable by my ex husband which was a miracle that she was able to determine fast efficient and effective solutions all within a matter of weeks. Nikita dedicated herself to Gaining resolution. Out of court and prior to Christmas break, of which she achieved on Christmas Eve. I commend her expertise, work ethic and style as it successfully resolved a previously unsolvable resolution. Thankyou Nikita"

    - Tracy

  • “I am extremely grateful to Vicki for doing everything she could to make sure my contract was ready quickly so we could lock in the buyer, and all of the searches etc were finalised quickly so my purchase and settlement were seamless. Her communication throughout the whole process was fantastic. Solari and Stock really go out of their way to look after their clients needs.”

    - Catherine

  • "We have used Solari and Stock for several matters over the years. From Family Law matters in relation to finalising separations/divorce, property settlement and probate. We have worked closely enough with Riccarda and Vicki on most of our matters, and cannot recommend them highly enough. They are extremely professional, supportive and committed to the work that they do and this is evident in their interactions with their clients. They are very responsive to questions (by either phone or email) and we were always kept firmly in the loop in relation to progress or next steps. We have recommended Solari and Stock to our friends when they themselves have been in need of a professional legal establishment. We would have no hesitation in recommending Solari and Stock to anyone needing solid, sound legal advice."

    - El & Mel

  • “My sisters and I would like to thank your team of Rebecca, Melinda and Vicki for helping to finalise my late father's estate. It was done in a very timely manner and all problems were seen to whether by phone or if I just popped in. Thanks once again.”
