Why Choose Us

Very impressed with the quality of contact and the speed, even Trans-Tasman. Getting to the heart of the matter swiftly and providing sound advice and opinion and guidance for the time-being, Justeen is empathetic as well as professional. I will be back in touch when my matter needs more attention. Thanks Justeen and Alex.

At a time of emotional upheaval it is refreshing to have people to take time to listen. I am only at the start of possible legal action but I have gained more knowledge and security in relation to this action than before.

At another legal form I was charged $300 for one hours advice. I did not realise that firms like D/S offer the first appointment free.

From the time I first spoke to Justine I was confident in her abilities to manage the situation in regard to our father's will on behalf of my brother and I. However it was the way she treated me personally through the whole journey that was the most important aspect for me, Justine was always there for me giving me sound advice, she treated me as a friend not as a client and for that I will be forever grateful. Despite my misgivings about the whole process and on occasions not wanting to pursue the matter further due to the hurt it was causing me, Justine was always able to calm me and sometimes be strong with me and present the reasons as to why I made the decison in the first place to contest. I cannot thank her and Matthew Hamlin enough and both my brother and I are grateful for the outcome achieved and the fact we can now move on with our lives. I cannot recommend Justine and her law firm strongly enough.

From the moment of my first contact with Justeen Dormer, in regard to defending a small legacy in a will that was being contested, she was approachable, personable, and knowledgeable in her field. Her ethical principles were immediately apparent when, despite the modest amount at stake, she was willing

to take the matter on, assuring me that my interests could indeed be fairly protected. Justeen dealt with the matter efficiently, economically, and successfully - with zero fuss. Most important of all, by engaging Dormers will dispute lawyers I was able to bypass all the associated drama and distasteful conflict that can sometimes accompany contested estate matters.

From the very beginning, Justeen and her team were efficient, professional and determined to achieve the result that I required. It was a difficult time, but throughout I felt that they were there for me and would see it through to the outcome that was right for me.

Exceptional   service and communications during the matter involved. Every staff member I dealt with was courteous and polite. Very prompt with communication and replies. They were encouraging, understanding and resolved my situation without drama or unpleasantness.

Very professional and pleasant dealings. Took all the pressure off me and communications were very satisfying.

This the second time I’ve used Justeen Dormer and she doesn’t muck around sorting out our concerns and with her new office being close to the courts the turnaround was amazing 

Her staff are mirrored image of herself and easy to deal with and communication was excellent.

Finding a good lawyer isn't easy, especially when you are young and navigating the legal world for the first time. The friendly Dormer Stanhope team made everything super clear and straightforward; no jargon, no fluff,. Justeen's sharp, responsive and is genuinely interested in helping - she never talked down to me. Give them a go.

I found this legal firm to be excellent. Reliable and their costs were reasonable. I can highly recommend this legal firm.

Justeen was very responsive and helpful on free consultation. I would highly recommend this firm.

Very professional and helpful. Didnt just want to take your money actually cared about doing tbe right

thing by you.

Wonderful wonderful people. Easy to deal with and grounded. They deliver on matters without fuss and cost effective.

Excellent firm. Justeen Dormer was extremely responsive and gave excellent advice regarding our complex family situation. The initial consultation was free and involved quite a bit of Justeen's time in determining the best course of action for our situation. I can't speak highly enough of her. This is a firm you can use with confidence.

Justine was such a pleasure to deal with during a very difficult time for my family. Her response rate was beyond amazing and she always kept me informed with any update she had. Very professional in all that she does. Justine would get my recommendations for her commitment to her clients, her service , ability to get the job done in a very efficient manner. You can’t go wrong if you go through her. Thank you Justine and team. Greatly appreciated.

Justeen put my mind at ease immediately during such a stressful time. Her expertise in this area is second to none and her amazing team were always available to me with any concerns. I am thrilled with a settlement beyond my expectations.

Justeen, Matthew and the rest of the team at Dormer Stanhope are very caring, hard working lawyers who really have now changed my life. The care, attention and hard work they did for me in my matter was exceptional. I would absolutely recommend making them your first call, they know what they are doing. Very rarely do I feel the need to write reviews because these are very personal matters, however Dormer Stanhope are exceptional at what they do. It’s emotional from a person’s standpoint to pursue these matters and you need professional, caring people who will tell you everything you need to know and how to manage your expectations. In my experience they were also very responsive when you called them - that was very helpful. At mediation the team work very hard and their skills in mediation are exceptional. I will forever be grateful I made the call to them first.

Justeen is very strategic, compassionate and has depth of knowledge that is unsurpassed.  Great value for the work she provided. I highly recommend Justeen and her team.

The dedication and precision is unseen before. You will not be disappointed if you come on board with this team of experts in your time of need.
Five stars are not enough so here's 5 more! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I found Dormers to be understanding, prepared to listen and appreciate my position. I found Dormers to be dependable and honest. My case was settled quickly and easily after a short period of negotiations. My costs seemed fair and reasonable.

Justeen acts for you as her name would share. She is Just, Fair, Informed, Professional and Giving. I could not recommend higher.

I contacted a few lawyers but they all told me I didn't have a chance. In comparison, Dormers were very helpful and very interested in my case. It has been a very good experience.

Dormers Staff were very kind and supportive, always seemed to have my best interests at heart, and they helped me through the process. I can't thank them enough and I will highly recommend their services as they did as much as anyone could do for me.

Sometimes life throws you curve balls and having a supportive legal team is your best tool in your arsenal.

When my father passed away, I learnt that everything was left to my stepmother. Although this wasn’t surprising, what did hurt me was the fact that when my stepmother later passed, she had left everything to my two stepsisters as opposed to splitting the estate equally.

Shocked with the news, I contacted my stepsisters to try to resolve the issue, as surely there was some misunderstanding. In response, I received very hostile emails and insulting monetary offers through their lawyers.

With Dormers support, I brought a claim against my stepmother’s estate in Tasmania as an eligible person. To much relief, Dormers were able to resolve the matter for me without needing to attend mediation. In fact, Dormers negotiated a settlement over 7 times what I was being offered, something I never would have received without their help. I cannot thank them enough for their support and guidance throughout this process and highly recommend them.

Recently I engaged Justeen and her team for their services. My experience has been exceedingly positive, they are professional and exceptional, I would thoroughly recommend them. After speaking to a few lawyers, Justeen was the one who gave us the best information and confidence. From day one we have been treated as a priority and kept informed each step of the way. The process has been seamless and we couldn’t have achieved a better outcome. We feel very grateful to have found Justeen and the team.

I'm very appreciative and grateful for all the work and support yourself and your team have provided. I will absolutely recommend your firm.

Dormer Stanhope took on my Will dispute. Matthew Hamlin advised and guided me through the process. Although Covid-19 prevented us from ever meeting, he was very thorough in his explanations and provided me with support. Thank you Justeen and Matthew for helping me to achieve a desired outcome.

From the first moment I spoke to you through to settlement, you have been professional, courteous and up front about our situation. You pulled together the best team and thus we were successful. For that, I am very grateful.  I have already made recommendations to friends and will do so in the future.

I engaged Justeen Dormer and Natasha Tan from Dormer Stanhope to file a Family Provision claim on my behalf. The entire matter was conducted in the most fantastic, and professional manner I’ve experienced of late. In addition, I paid no upfront fees whatsoever, with all costs being transferred out of my claim payout. I was very happy with Justeen’s entire team and manner of dealing with me and the other people involved. I would recommend this firm without reservation.
