I have had the pleasure of engaging Emma Rowles to assist us in finalising the Estate of my late mother. Emma has been so efficient with what was a very trying, emotional and time consuming 14 months, she always communicated promptly and with knowledge, guiding us while she protected the estate, as this was hers and our main objective. I would fully recommend Emma and Winter legals not only for their professionalism but also for their pricing.

Emma was very thorough, she took the time to assist me with my case, I would highly recommend her to others as she maintained an excellent manner of professionalism throughout the whole experience. Thank you for your help!

Emma at Winter Legal was recommended to me by another solicitor as I had quite a complex problem with my late brothers estate as he had left no will and had identity problems.
Emma took over the case with confidence.

She always kept us up to date & answered all our question in a timely manner, no matter how trivial they might have been. I would highly recommend Emma for any Will & Estate matters.

I would like to advise anyone looking for legal assistance in relation to matters relating to Wills , especially those people who wish to contest or simply negotiate with other beneficiaries the allocation of assets etc after the passing of a relative or associate to contact Winter Legal for advice and be confident that the advice will be solid and all matters moving forward from that point will be handled professionally and in a timely manner. Emma really knows her stuff and is honest in her advice. My experience with Emma at Winter Legal was a good one and so I highly recommend the service she supplies.

Emma was fantastic to deal with and always replied to our questions (most of the time very silly ones) when helping my Mum deal with my late Nan’s estate. Even going above and beyond to assist my stressed out Mum not knowing where to start with proceedings. A pleasure to deal with and would definitely recommend Emma and Winter Legal.

We were recommended Emma at Winter Legal and from the very first phone call I can see why. Emma was always so professional and attentive, yet so easy to talk to and explained everything simply so it was easy to understand.

I have since recommended Emma and Winter Legal to a few family and friends since we were so impressed.

It is always a pleasure dealing with her and I would strongly recommend her to anyone in need of a Solicitor.

Peter

Emma, I wanted to thank you once again for your ongoing support and empathy during a very difficult time for me and my Family. Last Year when my father passed away through Covid you made the legal side of my fathers passing seamless. Nothing was ever to hard or complex and you were always available to support me no matter how difficult or personal.

You made me feel like I had know you for ever and you became our Trusted Adviser within a very short time. It's not easy to build a trusted relationship like this when we have never personally met due to me living in Qld. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and guiding me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Your name will be the first I give my relatives and friends in Sydney if they ever ask for a reputable compassionate Lawyer.

I really feel grateful to have had her help.

Emma is a lifesaver.

uring the most distressing, confusing and trying time of my life, she was there for me. She went above and beyond professionally, reaching out to me on my worst days and even after my case had ended, just to check if I was doing okay. My case was incredibly difficult and emotionally draining and I often felt like giving up, but Emma fought for me. Her work ethic and attention to detail is impeccable and ultimately she ended up winning my case. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done.

Emma [or Winter Legal] helped us navigate though what quickly became a very complicated will that took over 2 years to finalise.There were 22 beneficiaries, most of them charities and all had to be notified & kept in the loop for that long time. As well the will was complicated by events occurring between its writing and my aunt's death. Emma was always available when needed and working to prevent any future problems.

Thank you Emma for everything you did for me. I knew from the outset that you are an expert in your specialisation of law, and this gave me a sense of confidence that the carriage of the matter would be professionally and personally handled. Your dedication to the matter was outstanding, as witnessed by your humanistic and compassionate handling of what were some uncomfortable re-living of past events for me. You demonstrated that you are in the upper echelon of your profession and I could not have asked for a better outcome, given the difficulties posed by the negotiations for that outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending you in particular, and Winter Legal in general, to anyone who needs compassion, determination to achieve an equitable outcome, and that precious personal touch that makes the experience of negotiation so much less onerous to those involved.

Chris

Thank you Emma and Winter Legal for your thorough, supportive, patient and caring approach. Your assistance was a comforting note in an otherwise difficult situation and gave peace of mind to our family.

Lesley Freeman

I have been a client of Winter Legal since the early 1970’s and have had the benefit of their counsel since then on a number of matters. I recently contacted Emma for advice on a property settlement and her patience and calm manner was instrumental in assisting me with the completion of the transaction.. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winter Legal to my associates and family for legal assistance and/or advice.

Mark Egan

Emma Rowles is, without any doubt, the epitome of the perfect estate lawyer. At a time when I was in shock, sad & overwhelmed by lack of knowledge, Emma’s extraordinary calm combined with enormous knowledge of estate law provided amazing peace. She’s one in a million. !!!
