Dealing with Zaitman Lawyers: A Mixed Bag
The Good
Zaitman Lawyers have been known to provide lovely service and assistance in private matters, with one reviewer praising their positive quality.
The Bad
However, two reviewers had extremely negative experiences with the law firm. One reviewer had a disastrous conveyancing experience, citing unprofessional behavior, delayed settlement, and incorrect invoicing. They claimed to have been left out of pocket by $500 despite the firm refunding some of the fees. The other reviewer was unhappy with the firm's refusal to witness a standard legal document without charging exorbitant fees for "advice", a service that is supposed to be free.
Services and Fees
The reviews highlight concerns around the firm's conveyancing services and their fees. One reviewer felt that the firm did not inform them of important levies and other details. Another reviewer was unhappy with the firm's insistence on charging for "advice" when witnessing a legal document.
