Client Testimonials: 1. Elizabeth was courteous, efficient, and very professional to ensure a Family Law financial settlement was reached. The staff assisting her were also very helpful.2. I dealt with Elizabeth and the team. They dropped me as a client after 18 months without any notice, VIA EMAIL. KSL said they couldn't recover enough funds to keep representing me. I had no support to finish my WorkCover claim. KSL organised medical specialists appointments that I had to pay for out of pocket. KSL insisted on these and other specialists and the nightmare began. I would never have claimed. They only care about money. Kennedy Spanner Lawyers refused my case so that I was unable to find another lawyer to take it on due to their reputation and assessment that I was not worth fighting for. They took advantage of my situation, and they are in the wrong. This company does not care and is only interested in making money from me. The WorkCover process is long and extremely unfair, and KSL made it a lot worse.3. I am extremely grateful for the professionalism of the entire team at Kennedy Spanner Lawyers. Elizabeth made the difficult easy and supported me and my family to the best possible outcome with compassion, empathy, and clear communication.4. Catherine is compassionate, kind and genuinely thoughtful in her approach. She has a gift for drawing out what really matters, thinking outside the box, and finding practical, effective solutions. I highly recommend Catherine.5. This firm of solicitors promised the world with their no win no fee but when the going gets tough after 5 years they demand $ 100,000 or you are on your own left with no legal representation what's so ever.6. Amanda and her team were incredibly supportive and professional in helping my grandmother and uncle to resolve a complex legal issue. I was most pleased to see how Amanda treated them both with utmost dignity and respect and fought hard for them to receive a fair and just outcome.7. I am a retired accountant and contacted Amanda Schmidt as I was having ongoing difficulties in administrating a deceased estate.
As executor, I discovered to my detriment that you need the BEST legal counsel in ALL circumstances - and that includes DECEASED ESTATES - and you must NEVER assume that the local legal practice that your loved ones used during their lifetime will have the knowledge or professional skills required to guide an administration in efficient and correct procedures.
There is also a grief component with deceased estates, and it probably took me the best part of six months before I was able to actively rise above that and to start researching all the online information concerning deceased estates - only to discover the extent of personal liability issues for an executor, as well as specific "time limits" to contest a will in Queensland, and the role of "deeds of release" etc... The stress of realizing that I could be personally liable for some $900,000 approx. was not helped by the fact that I had been personally referred to Kennedy Spanner Lawyers and found Amanda's excellent communication skills, as well as her legal expertise and professional integrity provided me with the resources, confidence, and support which enabled me to achieve a just, final, and fair situation for all especially considering the beneficiaries.
Thank you much Amanda,
