What Our Clients Say


  • "I have been a client of Solari and Stock for over thirty years. Over that time the staff have given my family and I many different types of advice and dealt with a variety of matters. Solari and Stock have dealt with business matters, my daughters divorce, and at least four conveyancing matters. Over that time I have found the staff to act in a very professional way, their advice has been sound and as I have been happy with the firm for so long you can tell I am happy. I intend to use the team at Solari and Stock for many years to come and have no hesitation in recommending the firm to others. Thank you for everything."

    - Judy 2000

  • "I live in the UK and contacted Solari and Stock to assist with selling some shares my late father purchased in Australia several decades ago. I was quickly contacted by Sarah Khan, who was excellent. All communications were clear and easy to understand, and the sale went through as quickly as imaginable given the geographic distance between the 2 countries. I'm delighted with this service and would highly recommend Sarah and her colleagues to anyone. "

    - Richard Price Worcester - UK

  • "Rebecca has a pleasant friendly manner. From the outset, Rebecca clearly explained the service options available and associated costs for preparing our wills, we found Rebecca to be efficient, thorough and reliable. We therefore have no hesitation in continuing to use the legal services of Rebecca at Solari Stock in the future."

  • '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

  • “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

  • "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!"

  • "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"
