Posted on RepRecover Outstanding company to deal with. Highly recommend Raea and the team at PBL.Posted on Samuel Carr Our experience with PBL was a very pleasant one. They were efficient and easy to deal with. We worked with Raea specifically, and he was really accomodatingPosted on Mick Benson Sharon had a hard task to do but she got through it and the end result was great. Really happy and highly recommend. Thanks Sharon and PBLPosted on Frank Devitt My experience with PBL Law Group Starts from getting acquainted with “The famous” Sharon Banning. Sharon, from our initial meeting In the Gorokan Office was Not only Professional But Very Caring as well. Sharon and the staff went to Great lengths for me Seeing to it that I was not Inconvenienced by collecting completed documents from my home….even after hours. The next day….. The Secretary + JP Barbara met me down stairs to hand me Documents that I was waiting for, which was very convenient as there is no lift to their office and I’m using a walker at the moment due to a recent operation. Thanks so much PBL Law Group 10 out of 10, Kind Regards Frank.Posted on Kerrie Field The communication, professionalism and genuine support from Sharon were outstanding. She had to pick up my case from another firm and there was a lot to sort through, but she always went above and beyond to ensure everything was right and that I was aware where things were up to. I felt reassured and confident that I was in the best hands to manage the case and ultimately it has been resolved. I would thoroughly recommend working with PBL Law Group and in particular Sharon. Thank you.Posted on Bryce Graham Following the death of our mother my brother and I were having difficulties executing mums will, and filing for probate. This was made more difficult by the fact we were both interstate. Engaging Sharon and the PBL team made the process more personable and workable. Sharon was very knowledgeable and open with the requirements for probate filing and subsequent execution of mums wishes. Sharon was also open with the timelines and costs to expect. Throughout the process Sharon and the team (in particular Barbara) were very accessible and available for meetings, to answer questions or confirm details. Sharon and the PBL team made the process easier for myself and my brother to fulfill our mothers wishes following her passing and I am very grateful for the professionalism, experience and kindness provided to myself from Sharon during a difficult time for our family. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharon and the PBL team to families seeking estate and probate assistance. Bryce GrahamPosted on Marie Mather After our Mothers passing we hired a Law firm that was not up to scratch and after 2 years we went to PBL Law Group and they were so efficient even sending emails off on a Sunday that the whole process only took a few months with no stress. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, very professional.Posted on 9MICHAEL MIKULAN PBL Law came to my rescue in sorting out my Moms will and going through the Probate process which became very complicated .
