I contacted Bruno in regards to my deceased mother's estate.Within a few hours he already had things rolling .Bruno was upfront and totally transparent about fees and within a few weeks had everything finalised .He is very efficient and his fees are very fair. Even after my matters were finalised Bruno contacted me and his followup service was exceptional .Bruno has a big 'heart' and went 'above and beyond' his call of duty for me.His mother Josie is part of his family business and she is equally as polite and caring as Bruno. I highly recommend ZED legal to anyone who wants an honest and efficient service without breaking the bank.

Bruno is absolutely amazing! He is incredibly helpful, efficient and patient, he answered all my questions with incredible expertise and speed (most of which were probably silly, but still) and helped put me and my fiancé at ease when we were applying for my visa. He kept an eye on the process, made sure that we finished our statements, helped me with a statutory declaration that was impossible to do from overseas. In short, he was very engaged in my visa application and with his help, we got it within 6 months of application!I honestly can't recommend Bruno enough!

Despite 10 yrs living in Australia, I was hesitant to apply for citizenship using the online application form due to the complexity of my work-related travel history requiring police clearance from multiple countries. The rumored 14-months processing time from application to receiving notification was also off-putting.A colleague, however, recommended Zed Legal who guided me though the application process. Within three months, Bruno informed me that my citizenship application was successful!I whole-heartedly recommend Zed Legal and would not hesitate to use them in the future!

Zed Legal was recommended to me by a contact. From the get go, Bruno has been very communicative and quick to respond to my emails, questions and asks throughout the process. Bruno and Zed Legal were able to provide thorough advice when it came to a travel exemption application for one of our employees, and helped us put together a very comprehensive application and argument. I would recommend Zed Legal for any business / person who needs support with immigration.
