What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Canberra clients engaging Tetlow Legal describe a conveyancing and legal practice where communication and diligence recur as strengths. Several reviewers highlight Rebecca Peisley for property purchases bought and sold, noting her professionalism, efficiency and proactive updates throughout settlement, including one transaction complicated by construction delays where her handling kept matters on track.

Chloe is repeatedly named for guiding first home buyers and for buying and selling homes, with reviewers pointing to clear advice on unsuitable properties, responsiveness to calls and emails, and smooth, hassle-free outcomes. Estate planning also features prominently, with Rebecca Tetlow praised for carefully studying earlier wills and producing plain-English documents, and Taylor Hewen noted for professional, efficient estate planning assistance. Lois Wu and Zal Jeffreys appear for sales and general matters respectively, drawing comments on courteous service, clearly enunciated advice and good value.

A point made in several accounts is the friendliness and efficiency of the wider team, including staff such as Reece, alongside clear and effective legal guidance. Reviewers describe being kept informed at every stage, having questions answered promptly, and receiving practical solutions that gave them confidence during otherwise stressful transactions. The consistency of that communication, from initial instructions through to completion, is what clients return to when describing their experience.

Rebecca Tetlow and her staff provided me with the best possible advice and guidance in the drafting of my Will. It was not a straightforward matter but Rebecca’s expertise smoothed the way and transformed what I was expecting to be a rather traumatic experience into a straightforward, fuss-free process. I highly recommend Tetlow Legal. Robyn Thorne

Tetlow have been fantastic for us in doing our estate planning. Kiah and the team were all professional, listened to our needs and did an outstanding job of comprehensively preparing what was needed and making sure we have what we need in place. The whole experience working with Tetlow was excellent, from beginning to end. Funnily enough, in a couple of conversations since where I remarked how much I'd learned in going through it, some friends have commented "oh, ours didn't talk about that. Maybe we need to look at it again." I'd strongly recommend you consider their services if you need to get estate planning done properly.

Tetlow Legal were my solicitors during the purchase of an OTP apartment. The purchase process was very tricky and full of hiccups from the construction company’s side, with several settlement delays and even attempts to call settlement during the Christmas holidays when some offices were closed. Without Tetlow Legal, this process could have easily turned into a disaster. The quality of service from Rebecca Peisley and Lois Wu was exceptional. They constantly kept their finger on the pulse, anticipated potential problems and suggested solutions ahead of time. Communication was also very flexible, which was especially important as I was in a different state. Great professionals and a very high quality of service, which is rare these days. I can definitely recommend them and would use their services again.

Thank you to Rebecca Peisley at Tetlow Legal for leading my property purchase! I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rebecca was incredibly professional, efficient, and proactive throughout the entire conveyancing process. She kept me informed at every stage, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time. Her expertise and attention to detail gave me complete peace of mind during what is usually a stressful process. Highly recommend Rebecca and the team at Tetlow Legal!
