What Our Clients Say


  • "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

  • 'A huge THANKS for all your effort and support over the last 3+ years. It certainly wasn’t easy to sort out Finances whilst dealing with lots of challenges. I’m glad you were my lawyer during this difficult time Ricki'

    - F.

  • "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. Miranda

I sincerely wish to thank you and wish you all the best. I will be recommending you to anyone who requires a caring, knowledgeable and professional solicitor and person.'

    - Leo

  • "I want to pass on a massive thanks to Nikita and the team at Solari & Stock for helping and handling my property settlement as I went through a difficult divorce. I am very grateful for the compassion, patience and care taken to guide me through the process and achieve the best possible outcome. Her continued support and professionalism did not go unnoticed, and I would not hesitate to recommend her services. Thank you again!"

    - Lauren

  • "Some years ago based on recommendation from a friend, I hired Solari and Stock Lawyers to assist me with my divorce. Riccarda Stock was just the person I needed to help me through a very difficult time, she was always available for advice, extremely responsive and timely with feedback to the other party. Riccarda also provided great advice during finalisation of my will and other matters. Solari and Stock really go out of their way to look after their clients needs."

    - Catherine

  • “You made an unpleasant situation that bit more bearable and gave us hope. It was a lengthy negotiation, and we are very grateful to you for your wonderful advice and diplomacy, especially through the emotion and frustration”

    – Michelle W.

  • '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.

  • "Now that everything has been settled I just wanted to thank you and your staff for looking after our affairs through this whole process. It was a thorough pleasure working with you and your team , you are all very efficient in your work, communicated well and addressed all the matters that cropped up along the way and it all happened in a timely fashion."

    - Albert

  • "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

  • "Nikita Ward was my guardian angel who was able to both comfort and defend me from unjustice when the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. I will forever be grateful for her assistance and I recommend Nikita without reservation. She is a lawyer who fights for her clients and I trust her 100%."
