Archer & Sapountzis Lawyers - Canterbury (VIC)

Name I had a very disappointing experience with this firm, especially with Amelia. The level of service was minimal at best, with little to no guidance provided. I engaged them for a Section 32, but at no point was I properly informed about what I was actually paying for or that the certificates (which cost $474) were only valid for "three months". This crucial detail was only mentioned when payment was due. The certificates were for the creation of the Section 32, but since the sale didn’t go through, I was left paying for work that was essentially useless to me. Amelia waited until the end of the three months to request final payment, as previously discussed, without ever explaining what had actually been done or what I was paying for. When I asked for the Section 32 after she requested payment, she simply provided the property certificates instead, which I had never received at any point during the three months. Amelia never explained what the certificates contained, how they applied to my property, or any legal implications. The fees were not properly discussed—only mentioned in an email with unclear breakdown. For the amount I was charged, I expected at least a basic level of legal advice, but instead, I had to seek out most of the information myself. Overall, this was the worst legal service I’ve ever dealt with. If you’re looking for a solicitor who provides clear explanations, transparency, and proper guidance, I would strongly advise going elsewhere.

Lil Tarasenko High praise for Mahloko-Boardman they were there when I needed them even though Id never used them before. The service was excellent, professional and I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again.

Greg Vagias I have known James for over thirty years. James was recommended to me by a close family member. Both James and more recently Violet have provided exceptional guidance, experience and support in a number of complex matters that have assisted our family in achieving exceptional outcomes. The manner in which they can problem solve and guide their client throughout legal processes, is both commendable and reassuring. I would not hesitate to recommend James Karavias & Co to any family member or friend.

Gregory Movis I cannot recommend this family law firm highly enough. I had an incredibly difficult case, and they achieved the best possible outcome for me. The entire team was amazing to work with, providing support and expertise every step of the way. Even now, I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done.
