Initially, I contacted Ivy Law Group for some advice, wishing to engage legal services. I was provided with prompt and open communication about my legal options before any commitment or financial obligation had been made between myself and the firm. To me, this reflected a level of trustworthiness and expertise. Upon engaging with their services, I encountered timely and clear communication about the legal process and the potential costs involved. Pamela Bachour was my lawyer. She was thorough and represented me fully, throughout. During the court hearing, Pamela articulated a complicated situation in a succinct and effective manner, and was able to deliver a desirable outcome for me. I highly recommend Ivy Law Group to those looking for personable, expert legal services. If you're wanting to sort out your matter in a timely fashion and make the legal process as painless as possible for yourself then they are worth every dollar.

Long story short: I was facing a complicated divorce settlement. It looked very likely that I would be facing bankruptcy, losing both my business and shirt.I definitely needed a competent lawyer. After approaching several firms it was apparent that not all layers are created equal. Two of the firms approached gave me little to no confidence in their ability to successfully represent me. Academically, yes, they may all work hard but there are many more traits required to make a great lawyer.A work colleague referred me to a legal firm called “Ivy Legal Group”. From the moment I sat with their lawyers, Shane Neagle and Karissa Hannigan, I found it very reassuring and personal. They listened to my ramblings, understood my needs and after absorbing and comprehending large amounts of information, distilled them down into something manageable and useful pointing out areas of weakness in my argument that need to be fortified against.Throw-out the drawn out ordeal (court delays and overloads) I was kept fully informed of what was happening, they explained his legal strategies, what was required of me, displaying great perseverance/resilience and commitment.In the courtroom Shane argued convincingly and was orally articulate, clear and precise, at times being creative and thinking outside the box. When the opposition showed weaknesses in their argument he would jump on the opportunity and wouldn't let go.It’s for these reasons I write this review. Both Shane and Karissa looked after my best interests, earning my respect and trust. I am extremely grateful and wanted to express my gratitude.The final outcome. I was saved from filing for bankruptcy, my business is operating and I am still wearing my shirt. Probably the biggest reward, because of the way this case was handled, is that my ex-spouse and I are still able to sit and have civil conversations.
I utilised Ivy Law Group during the daunting process of property settlement several years ago, after my separation. I found Shane Neagle’s guidance, attention to detail and ethical behaviour of the highest quality. I highly recommended him and his team, you won’t be disappointed.
Ivy law group were exceptional from start to finish with my late father’s estate and successful in defeating multiple challenges to his will. Shane and his team were very professional and supportive during this most difficult time. Highly recommend Ivy Law group.
I rarely write reviews, but I found the service, the attention and the clarity provided by Shane Neagle and his team - nothing short of outstanding. The matter was arduous and complex but they worked through the detail meticulously which proved so important. At all times, they were quick, thorough and pragmatic in their direction and delivery and were real partners in resolving my matter Thank you - I have no reservations in recommending Ivy Law.
I found both Angela and Jack were quick and efficient in responding to my requests. Angela was very helpful with the drawing up of my legal documents. When it came time to sign all the documents, the documents were neatly prepared and ready for signatures and as such everything was executed correctly. I highly recommend them.
