Vanessa, I just wanted to thank you and everyone that worked on my case. I think it’s safe to say my expectations were well and truly exceeded. I was fortunate enough to have your firm recommended to me by a friend who had used Paul Alvaro Lawyers before, and I’ll be doing the same if someone requires assistance (which there seems to be a steady stream of unfortunate souls these days). Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Darren B

Thank you all once again for everything you did for me. I was overwhelmed with the kindness and professionalism I was shown when not only acting on my behalf but being represented by Paul Alvaro Lawyers. The fees were if not free, when charged, were very low and comparable. No questions I asked were too stupid and I felt as a lay person that I could understand all of the information I was being given at all times. Thank you for the great outcome too! Best Wishes, Christeen.

Christeen T

Paul Alvaro lawyers is an outstanding Law firm, without their help, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Vanessa Piniotti took on my extremely difficult case and encountered issues which would seem to be unfavourable considering my previous circumstances. She and her team worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. She has stood by all of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Vanessa did not falter. Her dedication and hard work provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Vanessa Piniotti and Paul Alvaro Lawyers as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a client and will continue to retain them for all relevant legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands. Thank you to everyone for all your hard work!

Anna V

Vanessa, Rebecca and I would like to sincerely thank you for your service and dedication over the past few years. You gave us confidence and determination to see our case through to the end. We especially enjoyed your at times robust and funny explanations of the law process!

Rick and Rebecca H

To Vanessa and all your staff, many thanks for your assistance and guidance in reaching a satisfactory settlement with the insurer; This will certainly ease the financial pressure on us. We are sure the outcome would have been much less without your assistance.

We met with Sarah Colvin and she guided us through the process in an extremely professional and approachable manner to an outcome we were more than pleased with.

I was referred to Paul Alvaro Lawyers by my niece after being involved in an accident. Vanessa and Doja helped me through this stressful process by showing me kindness and offering ongoing support. They are diligent in all that they to do and I cannot thank them enough for all their efforts. I would highly recommend Paul Alvaro Lawyers.

Mr V Chung

Having been my first time needing assistance after an accident, I was recommended to give Paul Alvaro lawyers a call. I must say it was a pleasant experience dealing with both Vanessa and Belinda, they were understanding and helpful when explaining the process of moving forward. I can’t thank you both enough for all that you have done.

Anthony H

My father was in Australia on a short term visitor visa when he was involved in a MVA. Claim was so complicated for everyone because my father went back to India after filing the claim. Finally after four and half years of hard work by Paul Alvaro’s team comes to the outcome which was beyond my father and my expectations.  On behalf of my family I just wanted to thank Vanessa and everyone that worked on my father’s case. I think it’s safe to say our expectations were well and truly exceeded. We were fortunate enough to have your firm recommended to us by a friend who had used Paul Alvaro Lawyers before, and We’ll be doing the same if someone requires assistance. Thanks again, We really appreciate it.

Balwan B

After not being familiar with the processes needed to follow up after my injury, I was guided by a friend to visit Paul Alvaro Lawyers. The minute I did, I felt relaxed and confident I was doing the right thing. My outcome was quick and streamlined and just how it was described in the beginning. I cannot recommend this firm enough, Thank you.

Vanessa, thank you for everything that you have done for us over the past 5 years. It has been so reassuring to  know that we have had you  in our corner! This will bring some closure, particularly for Andrew  and hopefully he can then start to focus on what he wants his life to look like moving forward. We have always had fantastic professional service from your firm and would highly recommend you to anyone else. We will both be forever grateful!

Andrew and Michelle K

I write this to encourage people to consider Paul Alvaro Lawyers as their choice of firm for their representative requirements. My experience with this firm was over the term of 6 years. Although the length of time within itself seems daunting, the reason for such a long relationship is due to my case being fought to trial, and resulted in being a landmark case. A nerve destroying experience for myself, which this firm handled seamlessly. Through my motor vehicle accident case my circumstances shifted, my required assistance increased and my need for support was at my life’s highest point. The people within this firm gave me complete explanations of impact to the decisions I made through my claim, to ensure they were considered and right for me. I was encouraged (not pushed) to continue to fight for what I deserved when I was unsure how much fight I had within me. And when I was at my lowest, I was supported through their team by shielding me as much as they could as they fought on my behalf. It’s hard in most circumstances to stand up for ourselves, let alone to stand up for yourself in a way that would need a lawyer to represent you. It’s in these moments that the people who are fighting for you need to be people you trust, and in my 6 year fight I trusted this firm and it’s people completely. I appreciated the professionalism this firm brought to interacting with me, but also, when I needed it, the cut the shit real talk we as people require to get to the crux of issues at hand. I dealt mainly with Vanessa Piniotti who is a Special Counsel within the firm. Passionate is a fitting word to describe Vanessa, who, throughout our years of relationship, never ceased in showing a passion for life, for my life, and getting support for my life moving forward. Although their services are paid for, I still feel in debt to Vanessa in particular for the genuine care she showed me. At the end of the day, we are real people who need help well outside our scope if lawyers are needed to be involved, and based on my experience with this firm, I recommend them as a firm you should consider with this need.

Angela P

I was happy with Paul Alvaro Lawyers excellent service. I would recommend others to go with Paul Alvaro Lawyers if they really need any sort of legal advice.

Matiur R

I would like to make a special thank you to David Tan and the rest of Paul Alvaro Lawyers for all their effort in my motor vehicle claim. It was a hard period in my life but they made everything no fuss and stress free. Will highly recommend your services in the future.

Brandon S

I would like to thank Doja for your expertise in assistance with my claim. Excellent service and very professional with her knowledge and communication, keeping me informed every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Doja and team from Paul Alvaro Lawyers. Once again, thank you.

Michelle

 

Just a little thank you to let you know how appreciative my family and I are for all your kind, caring support and hard work throughout my claim. I would highly recommend Vanessa and the team to my family and friends. She went over and beyond for us. Highly recommend!

Myself and my partner engaged Paul Alvaro lawyers to assist in a personal injury claim and we had Vanessa and her team assist us with our dealings with a difficult and at times unreasonable insurance provider and ultimately we received a positive outcome in our claim. Many thanks to the team.

Thank you to the team at Paul Alvaro Lawyers. My battle went for several years. Everyone at the firm was very easy to work with and had my best interests at mind.
