Ida was brilliant with our two conveyances. Went above and beyond when our bank moved too slowly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend again!

I cannot recommend Baker, Deane & Nutt highly enough. Richard Baker and Dianne Savage provide me with outstanding support during a recent compensation claim. They exceeded my expectations in terms of the result achieved in my case and were a pleasure to deal with. If you need a lawyer, give them a call.

I hired Baker Deane and Nutt to assist with purchasing a house in March 2020 and they went beyond and above the call of duty to ensure everything ran smoothly. My (un-named) bank had stuffed up, meaning they were not going to be able to provide the loan on settlement day. The team at BDN escalated it to the bank's head office and secured the loan on time. I highly recommend them!

My family and I have been using Baker Deane and Nutt for approximately 30 years. I can attest to an easy to work with, professional, honest and wonderful team. Bill Baker and Ida Lam have made my law affairs a pleasant experience with ease of transparency and understanding. They are always quick to answer questions and deal with matters in a prompt and professional matter. I highly recommend working with Ida and Bill along with the rest of the Baker Deane and Nutt team.

Of great assistance handling estate procedures after the passing of my mum. Warm and thoughtful process. Very transparent in regards to charges and the kinds of services they were providing. I asked to take charge of some aspects of the estate administration in order to save money and they had no resistance. Would recommend!

Baker Deane & Nutt just finished sorting out Probate for my late brother's estate, and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience of working with them. Richard's advice was practical and easy to understand and Diane Savage took most of the effort out of getting through the process from my shoulders. Diane, in particular, was superb throughout: helpful, professional, efficient, and a joy to deal with. To top it off their fees were lower than expected. Easy 5 stars from me. Highly recommend.

Amber was very Professional, made us feel very comfortable. Explained reasons of why we needed to meet with her, explained very clearly in a way for us to understand, as Guarantors, our responsibilities. We would recommend Baker Deane & Nutt Lawyers, as this is not the first time we have had dealings together.

We cannot thank Teneika enough for the care and effort in supporting us through the settlement process of our property sale. Not only was everything seen to on the conveyancing front in an efficient and comprehensive way, the level of care and support offered to us to ensure the process was a positive experienece was second to none - Clear communication, amazing rapport and professional service. They advocated for our rights and best interest 100% of the time. We highly recommend Teneika and the team at Baker Deane and Nutt. This is the second time we have worked with the company and they will be our first point of call for any future property endevours!

I have been dealing with various people at Baker, Deane and Nutt over the past 12 months for matters involving settling an estate and selling property. At all times the principals and staff were professional, friendly and extremely competent. Their clear advice and continuing communication with me made my job as executor very easy. I have already recommended the firm to others and will continue to use BD&N in the future. Many thanks to all but particularly to Richard, Diane and Tanieke.

I can't thank Amber, Vin and the friendly team at BDN enough, they handled my case very professionally and communicated well throughout. Amber gave a great submission to the court to get the minimum sentence and I highly recommend them to anyone in the Canberra/Queanbeyan region if you're in need of legal help and advice.

Our family was very pleased with the assistance in finalising the Estate of our Mother. Diane and Richard were professional and thoughtful in what was an emotional time.

Engaged BDN to complete the conveyancing for a property purchase. They were highly professional and communicated well throughout the process. Would recommend

An excellent legal firm that handled our conveyancing and a dispute with the building inspection report on that property purchase, and more recently guided us through a dispute with a substandard roofing contractor. Despite our anger at both of the above, BDN kept us on a logical, not emotional, path to a satisfactory financial resolution in both cases. Their fees are very reasonable and their advice sound. Can’t go wrong here!

The team at BDN were fantastic at helping me through the process of managing my mum's estate. They were friendly, took the time to listen and explain the various processes, and have been super-helpful when things (outside their control!) have gone awry. I highly recommend Diane, Richard, Kerry-anne, and the rest of the team at BDN.

Once again, Richard and Diane were professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to my case. They communicated clearly every step of the way and made a stressful process much easier to navigate. Highly recommend their services, wouldn’t go anywhere else!

BDN Lawyers were the absolute best in helping me deal with an unexpected death in the family and subsequent fallout due to a lack of a will. From the initial call I made to them, Richard was kind, empathetic and extremely clear on what I could expect and the action required. Both Richard and Diane then led me through all the paperwork and legalities of finalising the estate. I could not recommend them highly enough. The process was made so much easier as they were both caring and compassionate to my situation. Everything was explained clearly and options presented at all stages across the way. I cannot thank them enough for helping me navigate through the red tape and getting the best result for my children and myself. If you are looking for a good firm, I advise you meet with BDN Lawyers!

Couldn’t speak more highly of Amber and the team at BDN. Amber was incredible in handling and managing an exceptionally stressful and tough situation for me. The level of helpfulness and professionalism was outstanding and the ability to take something very scary and make it manageable and easy to understand was amazing. I was at all times fully prepared for all outcomes by the team but my final outcome was an exceptionally great one.

I would not hesitate to recommend BDN to anyone requiring legal services. I mainly dealt with Diane Savage. Her prompt responses, attention to detail, communication and customer service in general were truly exceptional. I would absolutely retain BDN again for any future legal requirements.Anne Cockburn
