Lisa Robinson
Angela Cornford-Scott handled our estate planning with the precision expected of a top-tier attorney recognized by Best Lawyers, especially in trusts and estates. Her experience in wealth management and succession planning was evident in the thoroughness of our documents, but there were moments when communication felt delayed or unclear, particularly regarding updates on pending revisions. While her expertise in Brisbane's legal landscape—evidenced by multiple Lawyer of the Year awards—was a major asset, we often waited longer than anticipated for responses. The final work was professional, but the process could benefit from more proactive engagement. Overall, a competent but sometimes frustrating experience.

Angela Cornford-Scott demonstrated a strong understanding of trusts and estates, particularly in succession planning, which was exactly what we needed. Her expertise and awards, like being Lawyer of the Year in Brisbane, clearly show she's well-regarded in her field. However, communication could be more prompt—we often waited several days for responses, which created unnecessary delays. While the final outcome was favorable, the process felt slower than expected. Still, her knowledge of wealth management and estate planning was evident in the results.

Attorney Cornford-Scott demonstrated solid expertise in trusts and estates, particularly in complex succession planning, which was evident in handling my family's estate. However, while her legal knowledge was commendable, her responsiveness was inconsistent, and I occasionally felt left in the dark during the process. The final outcomes aligned with expectations, but the experience felt rushed at times. Recognized by Best Lawyers, her reputation is well-deserved, but communication and transparency could improve for a smoother client experience.

Melissa Allen
I hired Attorney Angela Cornford-Scott for estate planning needs, particularly around creating trusts and transferring wealth. She clearly has the expertise, having been recognized multiple times as a Lawyer of the Year in Trusts and Estates and Wealth Management. The initial consultation was thorough, and her advice aligned with my goals for legacy planning. However, I found the follow-up process frustrating. While the legal work was competent, emails and calls often went unanswered for days, which created unnecessary delays in finalizing my documents. The wait times were long, and I had to chase down updates regularly. This made what should have been a straightforward process feel more stressful than it needed to be. Angela’s knowledge in trusts and estates is evident, but better communication would have made the experience far more positive.
