Sarah recently helped us through our very complicated business purchase. This was our first time purchasing a business and she was so helpful and understanding through the whole process. She definitely ensured everything was in order for the purchase and we are very grateful for her help

Donovan Oates Hannaford have been great. I have dealt with them for a number of years and their advice and guidance is highly valued. From Principal to Receptionist, they are understanding, professional and prompt. They are experienced and knowledgeable in so many areas and they get results or a greatly improved position. Most importantly they remove so much of the stress and worry one goes through when you need the help of a legal firm.You get to deal with people like Hadyn Orti who is a Principal so your getting the attention you need and support from the rest of the team. My experiences with DOH Law have been faultless.

I have just completed a complex property purchase and was very impressed with how Hadyn and Tahleia both approached this matter. Their advice and expertise was greatly appreciated during the course of the negotiations and it was comforting to know they were able to deal efficiently with all matters through to settlement. For someone who insists on crossing "T"s and dotting "I"s they were very patient and understanding. I would highly recommend Hadyn and Tahleia. I have every intention of maintaining a relationship with the firm longer term. In addition, all the staff who dealt with us treated us with courtesy and respect. Thank you Hadyn and Tahleia.

I just can't speak highly enough of my experience with Haydn and his team.We recently had to settle 2 properties, the sale of our home in Sydney and the purchase of our new home here in Port.The professionalism, patience and guidance we received was amazing.The fact that we wanted to then try and bring our purchase settlement forward was a big ask but they did it without a hitch.What is predominantly a stressful time seemed to breeze through for us as a client.I have complete trust in Haydn and at the end of the day that is crucial in your legal support.Thank you again and l look forward to continuing working with you.

I've used Donovan and Oates for a few years now and would recommend them to anyone. Haydn has been very helpful and understood everything I've wanted them to do. They have been proactive with detail and very fair with billing. Also the fact that they are not local to my business has made no difference at all, overall a very good Law firm.
