Testimonials

Myself, and my mother & father in-law couldn’t be more thankful for Arkin’s assistance and services from a Will Contest they recently settled through Arkin. Originally, my Father-in-Law wasn’t going to contest his late Mother Will, however, with encouragement of his close family, he allowed his wife to look for a Lawyer… I remember as I opened the website, there were 3 words which caught my eye;

“SMART. ETHICAL. PRACTICAL.”

I say with high praise, that Arkin stood for every one of those words!

From the first time I spoke with him, he actually let me speak. He listened. He understood. Arkin was able to build an immediate rapport with everyone of us he spoke with, which established trust. I believe that is a rare trait these days.

We were always kept up to date, and he was always open and honest about everything and the stages the case was at. We also had the pleasure of dealing with his assistant, Angela, who was just as professional and helpful. We will be recommending marshalls+dent+wilmoth lawyers, to anyone we know who may have a legal matter arise in the future

We were very satisfied with the advice and representation provided by marshalls+dent+wilmoth in our matter. From the outset Sandy inspired confidence: that she had substantial experience in dealing with matters similar to ours, and that she had a clear understanding both of the legal issues involved and approaches likely to be effective. She kept us well informed throughout the procedure, and was always available to our questions or concerns. She was also adept in guiding us- and which option she recommended- as the matter progressed.

She was at all times courteous and considerate in her dealings with all concerned. In short, I would have no hesitation in recommending her services

Sandy & Arkin worked tirelessly to ensure everything was included which led to an excellent conclusion. They are to be commended that the best result was achieved- with sincere thanks

Both Sandy & Arkin I found to be very articulate in both emails and verbally in clarifying the issues in our case. I found them to be both sensible and caring in what is a difficult emotional area of law. Clients can get upset, angry, disappointed and being able to handle clients has to be made clear from the start. Fortunately we were able to do that. Certainly being patient helps towards a successful outcome. Thank you. We are exceptionally satisfied

Many thanks to you and your team for your correspondence, concern and settling this sensitive case on behalf of my family. I highly recommend your expertise without hesitation to others at their lowest point in this area of will contesting. Sandy you are a valuable asset to marshalls+dent+wilmoth

Sandy and her team recently helped my sister and I with issues we were facing with our late father’s Will. After toying with the various courses of action we could take in contesting our late father’s Will, Sandy advised us of all the issues we faced if we went ahead. Although we decided against contesting the Will, she helped us achieve a good outcome, one which we would never have foreseen. Thanks again Sandy

Sandy you have been outstanding for all the work you have done and the way I have been treated. I couldn’t have had a better person battling for me- You are great at what you do and you work from the heart. Don’t change as you are a great lawyer. Good luck in the future!

A lovely professional manner by both Sandy and Arkin. They made me feel extremely comfortable at this awful time!

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Sandy Rizkallah. Throughout the whole time I worked as her senior corporate receptionist I had the pleasure of being able to assist Sandy in all areas of business.
Sandy is professional and is an extremely hard and determined worker who is consistently friendly and helpful to not only her staff but to her clients.

She was extremely flexible around my schedule, and liaised with me during times of training and was a huge mentor during difficult times.

Sandy was in contact with me at all times during the process of training and litigation matters – before, during and after, which meant I was always aware of what was happening.
She was always contactable, and made me feel comfortable to call her at any time, to ask any questions no matter what the situation! I therefore, highly recommend Sandy to anyone in the legal industry looking to have their matter assisted with or if you want to work with or for her direct.

Her skills are extremely seamless and I cannot thank Sandy enough for being the most amazing mentor throughout my career and it’s my honour to recommend her services as a colleague and now friend.

She truly takes all the hard work out of the usually exhausting processes and is able to understand any hard situation!”

“Her attention to detail ensures she is an exceptional legal writer and will produce many well-researched and compelling briefs, motions and arguments. Sandy is an asset to any legal team. Where she excels is with client interaction, whether it is simple legal advice or all the way through to settlement Sandy always offers one hundred percent. As an employee, legal practitioner, mentor or manager Sandy never fails to impress!”

I had the privilege of working as an assistant to Sandy throughout her employment. Sandy is an exceptionally dedicated analytic thinker who is able to process large volumes of information quickly and formulate an effective strategy for each case. Sandy’s empathetic personable nature and adaptability ensure that she is trusted with clients, all of whom prefer to work with Sandy exclusively.

Sandy knows how to sort the wheat from the chaff. A skill surprisingly lacking in some solicitors!

I am very happy with the outcome of the case. Sandy always kept me up to date with all the procedure and anything that changed. Very well handled in all aspects. Sandy is an outstanding solicitor, very well spoken, and nothing seemed to be a problem if I rang about something I was not sure of. Thank you very much for all your help. Outstanding outcome of my case

I am exceptionally satisfied. Sandy and Arkin took me on the journey through the legal terrain particular to my matter in the manner of expert tour guides. As a very special duo they create a highly professional, sensitive and responsive atmosphere and structure that step by step enables the attainment of clear and practical legal objectives in a non-intimidating manner that transcends that encountered in the normal single matter law-firm/client situation.

Sandy took care of my father’s estate & will in 2014 after he passed away. This was a very difficult time for all of us as a family as the case was quite involved. Sandy walked us through this very well, step by step and was always on call for us if there was something we didn’t understand or needed to ask. Her team was fantastic and worked very hard to bring everything together. The outcome was wonderful & our family will always be deeply grateful to Sandy for all she did. She is compassionate, caring, thorough, honest & was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her and hold her in the highest regard. Only Sandy knows the struggle we had and we felt that we could trust her completely in this.Again Sandy, thank you so much, we so appreciate you

I appreciate the professional way I was treated and that you were willing to take the time to listen and to look into the matter even though it was likely to result in no financial gain for your firm. You were always friendly and helpful and explained the situation well without any complicated legal jargon which was very much appreciated. I definitely recommend your firm

Your response to our needs was well in excess of what many people regard as normal. We are especially grateful for the many returned phone calls and email replies providing us with detailed information, legal advice and the most likely outcomes as well as support and encouragement for our case. It has been a privilege to have known you Sandy and to have been your client and without any hesitation we recommend you

Your services have been very helpful particularly in answering legal questions that the average person has not bothered to study/research. It was nice being able to also communicate with you via email and text. Sandy, thanks for your time and effort, it has been much appreciated

I thank Sandy in Melbourne for being so patient with me and advising me of my rights. She was always a calm beacon of light in the long tunnel of litigation that I looked like having to endure. But with her guiding me, a miracle happened and my case settled. I recommend Sandy to anyone

With Sandy’s reassurance and advice and the talented team she assembled, we really had no reason to worry. Thanks again Sandy for all your efforts towards the successful outcome. The service was excellent

We found Arkin to be very Professional. He kept us well informed, very efficient. At the same time he was so relaxed and friendly. He was more like a friend & has a great sense of humour. Our case was lodged and compiled in record time. We would recommend Arkin to anyone. Good luck in the future Arkin!

I can honestly say that Sandy got us through the darkest time of our lives. For such a young lawyer she has a wealth of knowledge and her confidence in our case never wavered even when all hope was lost. I will never forget her commitment to our case. Sandy we appreciate your honesty and hard work and we will forever be grateful for everything you have done for us
