Michael Hodgkins was recommended to us by another lawyer due to the complexity of 2 tragic losses we had suffered more than 12 months ago. Due to our situation being so complex, Michael Hodgkins guided us through this extremely difficult time with professionalism, kindness and empathy to ensure the Estates were completed with the least amount of stress possible. All of our communications and queries were answered promptly and dealt with seamlessly. The entire staff at Curae Law were knowledgeable and professional and always went the extra mile, we can’t thank you enough.

Michael and Sean were compassionate and upfront about the process of settling an estate. They were clear and provided step by step advice at an exceptionally difficult time for our family. Their pricing is transparent and information about payments was clear and consistent. I would recommend the team to anyone seeking advice for and support with a deceased estate.
