Pace were able to secure a long-term renewal for us on more favourable terms than otherwise would have been extended. This has an ongoing flow on effect on profitability.

Dear Julia,
In late November 2019 Monet asked me to provide a review of Pace Legal’s handling of my divorce. The last 2 years have been tumultuous, hence the delay.
You are probably a little perplexed as to why a handwritten letter has arrived in response to Monet’s request. Basically I’m not a fan of social media reviews, I find them too impersonal.
And so before I write anything more rest assured I am more than willing to act as a reference for any client seeking confidence in your professional services.
Regarding the services provided throughout 2018 and 2019. Being referred to Pace Legal was like ‘a breath of fresh air’ when compared to the ‘dallying’ procrastination of the previous firm I was using. I sincerely appreciated the ‘no-nonsense’, firm, positive and ‘straight-down-the-line’ approach which was adopted.
It was extremely comforting knowing I had professionals who knew not only what they were doing but were able to clearly communicate the strategy.
The real benefits of this approach were ‘felt’ and are not quantifiable but could be best summarised as facilitating enough confidence permitting me to safely get back on with running my business and life (since the divorce business has gone from strength to strength).
So again, I apologise for taking so long to put pen to paper but time has been at a premium.
“I recently finalised my property settlement matter with the Adelaide Legal team. During an overwhelming time in my life, Stefania guided me throughout the process and answered all questions I had in a way that was easy to understand. I would highly recommend Adelaide Legal.“
