Sabina embodied the definition of 'above and beyond' when guiding us through a property purchase. A multitude of hurdles emerged at the time of settlement at no fault of hers, Sabina worked tirelessly to solve the issues and to keep us informed continuously throughout the process. Sabina was professional, compassionate and honest and we hope to be able to use her services again. Thank you Sabina and the Penrose team!

Thank you to the team at Penrose Lawyers for helping us with the legal side of the purchase of our property. My family and I are very grateful for your help. Sabina was our solicitor and I couldn’t recommend her any higher. She was extremely helpful, patient and prompt to respond to questions. I particularly appreciated how she never used legal jargon with us, and explained everything very simply for us to understand. Thank you!

I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Rita.I had been dealing with a extended claim with a fitness provider, and Rita was an invaluable source of guidance and support throughout the entire process. Her firm commitment to assisting me in various ways, consistent communication, and profound expertise left me feeling truly cared for and informed at every step.Rita's exceptional communication skills and expert knowledge instilled in me the utmost confidence. Furthermore, her ability to ease the substantial pressure associated with the case was a tremendous relief. With Rita's support, I felt like I had a trusted advocate by my side, making the entire process significantly more manageable and less stressful. I am profoundly grateful for her outstanding assistance and support!

When I was bullied, left in the dark and discriminated against by people in my workplace, I looked to Penrose Lawyers which took on my case with so much conviction for my rights that I was sure that they were the best Legal team that I could have asked for right from the beginning.My trust in them and my outcomes was more than I could have expected, they thought of everything even answering queries before I could formulate my questions.To anyone that is considering employing Penrose Lawyers as their legal advisor and if you are after quality, a professional approach and someone that takes care of your case as if you are one of the family this is the Legal Team for you.I usually don't leave reviews, however I am so overwhelmed with the amazing legal expertise throughout my case by Penrose Lawyers that I feel compelled to do so out of gratitude and well deserved legal expertise done on my behalf.Rita's pleasant manner showed she was well informed legally, well read and consulted. She always left all choices to me allowing me to make an informed decision before proceeding in any avenue of my case, she represented me in such a high regard that I don't think "I" after being 14 years in the corporate world could have done better in her place.John is an expert in his field, he saved me 50k just by his knowledge of the inner workings of Work Cover and possible avenues of proceeding in my case with no cost to me. I found his unique writing style to be logical yet standing up for your rights with conviction and passion.If I need to take on any further Legal Services in the future it will be with Penrose Lawyers, I can not praise them enough. I have had other lawyers in the past however hands down Penrose Lawyers is the highest of quality.Their ability to connect with well known Barristers and legal Colleagues in the industry is invaluable.I personally believe that my positive result in my favor is to be entirely due to both John Elhage and Rita Dawood.If you are looking for an extraordinary legal team consistently going above and beyond for you and your case then I would highly recommend Penrose Lawyers.Thank you again.RegardsMark

Rita and her team went above and beyond on obtaining a stamp duty refund from revenue nsw on a previously failed property purchase, lodging an application for stamp duty cancellation on a new property, lodging an application for stamp duty reassessment and refund, various telephone calls and emails with revenue nsw. They constantly update/guide me on what was happening and what the next step was. Will continue to use Penrose in the future.

We had the pleasure of utilising the expertise of Sabina during our recent property purchase. She was professional, down to earth and took the time to explain things to the layman. The entire process was simplified and stress free. Penrose Lawyers has a lifetime referral from us to anyone who would require a top notch service.

My partner and I used Penrose Lawyers for buying our property. With the help from Rita and Sabrina. We couldn’t thank them enough and we couldn’t of asked for a better job. They were always there to answer the phone and any question that came their way. During these difficult times of covid 19, they made the process easy and bent over backwards to make it work, even while working from home.We will definitely be using them again in the future and recommending them to anyone who asks for a good lawyer/solicitor.Thank you Penrose lawyers for all the hard work you did to put us in our house, we can’t thank you enough.
