What Our Clients Say


  • "Highly recommend this professional and knowledgable firm. I have dealings with family matters and sale of residence and can say that Nicole and Vicki are brilliant. Easy to speak to and happy to discuss any matter. Internal office communication between them was exceptional."

    - Anonymous

  • “Where do I even Start? - Nikita from Solari and Stock was incredible to work with. She was professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. We were dealing with a very difficult ex-husband and a complex case, but Nikita handled everything so calmly, and her communication was always prompt and clear. I felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. Her compassion and determination to get the best results for me never wavered – and there were many many challengers along the way. Nikita achieved a result I did not think was possible –it far surpassed my expectations. Without any hesitation, I highly recommend Nikita and the team at Solari and Stock."

    - CT Lilli Pilli

  • 'The decision to buy or sell real estate is one of the biggest decisions you make in your life. It only makes sense then to get the best legal help you can. Vicki DeBonis is always professional and can more than handle any situation that may arise. I have done many property deals using Vicki, spanning over a decade, and would not trust anyone else with my affairs.'

    - Diane

  • 'Working with Shweta on my matters has been a pleasure. In what was an emotional and stressful event, Shweta’s logical approach, reassuring manner, and availability to answer any of my silly questions gave me the comfort and confidence that there was someone on my side and working with my best interests at heart. Throughout the parenting plan and financial settlement matters, Shweta kept me informed, engaged and educated every step of the way.'

    - Ben

  • "Dear Nikita What you did for my daughters and I no words can truly describe. You were not just my legal representation but an emotional support over the last three years! You’ll never know how forever thankful I am. When I needed you, you were always there walking me through this process of fighting for sole parent responsibility. My story was defintely something right from a Netflix bestseller!! Unbelievable but believable, you took my hand and told me we could do this! You may not know what a special kind of human you are, that combined with being a lawyer is unstoppable! Whoever has you in their corner are truly blessed as was I."

    - Lou

  • 'I went from being able to buy a new car, to being able to buy a home for my family!!!! All because Adrian fought so hard for what was rightfully mine. When you have to “lawyer up”, you want make sure you choose the right one! Adrian Stock is THE right one. My matter was property division; I am a single mum working 3 jobs, money is tight. But the token monetary amount I was being offered, was unjust. I knew it, I just didn’t know what to do about it. I was overwhelmed, my friend told me to go and see Adrian and I will forever be grateful for that recommendation. He expertly guided me though the process with both kindness, empathy and a LOT of patience, taking the time to explain the legal terms so I had a sound understanding of where I was at. Yes lawyers cost a bit of money, but it’s actually an investment in your future. Mine, and that of my family, is now so much more secure because of Adrian. I am so very grateful and cannot recommend him highly enough.'

    Linda B.

  • “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

  • '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

  • "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 first met Nikita when I changed from my city based firm to S&S to handle my difficult divorce. In the 19 or so months working with Nikita (and Co), I can truly say that the whole horrendous proceedings were handled kindly, sensitively and with great attention to detail, so we got the best results possible, with the least possible emotional stress. I was so happy with S&S I chose to use them for my Conveyancing when I bought my house earlier this year, and was equally happy. I’ll definitely be back to sort out my will, power of attorney etc as soon as I can, I can highly recommend them as a professional, multifaceted firm, with a great personal touch. Thank you! "

    - K.N.

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

    - Mark

  • “I want to thank Solari & Stock for helping me navigate one of the most difficult stages of my life. Your care, understanding and most of all, guidance in challenging times will never be forgotten.”
