Claire has been diligent, professional and very compassionate in the time that we’ve worked with her. She’s only too happy to talk fees if you want to discuss them (which were reasonable in my opinion). She has been fantastic and I’d happily use her again and recommend her to others.

Claire has done my legal work for a number of years now in property, wills, and more – as Foundation Legal, and prior. I have always found Claire to be prompt, efficient, and very cost effective – hence why I followed her when she started Foundation Legal. I have referred friends and colleagues to Claire, and they also speak highly of their experience with her. Thanks Claire!

Mitchell Choat
Testimonials
Claire at Foundation Legal was helpful, highly responsive and her advice pragmatic and relevant. She guided us easily through the Will writing and EPOA process, and it was far less scary and onerous than we thought it was going to be. Thank you for such incredible service – especially through such a strange time (COVID-19 lockdown)!
