WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US...

“Duarte was invaluable in assisting me during what was a difficult and prolonged separation. Juggling work and study commitments left little time for me to investigate and understand the intricacies of family law, which is where Duarte came in. His understanding of my requirements and determination to deliver an outcome were incredible. He answered every question I had irrespective of how trivial it was and ensured I understood exactly what was happening at each step of the process. He also went above and beyond on weekends when I’d have time to collect my thoughts and send through queries. I have since sought Duarte’s advice on other legal matters and will continue to do so”.

“Rosa Moio and I have been dealing with Duarte for the past 3 years now and not only is he our solicitor but we have gained a friend. He is professional, sincere and takes his work seriously. He wants to make sure his clients have the best outcomes. We have found Duarte to be honest and reliable. If anyone wants a great Immigration lawyer he is your man. 

Duarte is a family man who treats you with dignity and respect and takes on a case with passion and his customer skills are excellent. Duarte treats his clients with importance and makes you feel as if you are the most important person in the world. Old fashioned customer that is what we call it. He keeps you updated, discusses the pros and cons of your case and there are not hidden agendas. Our case is a long one and dealing with overseas matters are delicate. Duarte understands you and he is a very compassionate person especially when dealing with delicate matters. I recommend Duarte to anyone and you will not be disappointed”.

Maria D'Auria

 

“I feel grateful that I found Duarte to lead and direct me during my visa process. He was very professional, fast on responding to all my questions (and I had a lot) and knowledgeable. His advice was invaluable. I highly recommend Duarte for a wonderful job he does."

Miguel Bruschy

 

"It is rare that you come across someone as committed as Duarte. Particularly, if you are sitting on the other side of the globe and managing client-lawyer relationship over late calls and emails can be quite challenging. It was a long and tough permanent residency process and Duarte was always there with his professional and friendly approach. Any client would be lucky to have Duarte and his team as a lawyer throughout any legal proceedings. Thank you so much!". 

Jaquelina Gomes

 

"Our adventure with Duarte began about two years ago. Duarte has been professional, clear, concise and has always tried to find solutions to all the problems that arose in our process.

In my case Duarte has processed not one, but two applications with immigration, and both have been positive and successful. In addition, these processes have concluded very quickly (2 months for my partner visa, and 4 months for permanent residency).

Duarte not only behaves like a true professional, but also gives a very human and personal touch to every problem that can arise in each process.

Duarte has always been very realistic and clear with each step we have had to give and has read extra information for us if it was necessary.

After these 4 months waiting for news from immigration, and after two years of services and the result of these, I would recommend the services of Duarte to anyone who wants one of the best professionals you can find in Sydney today.

Fortunately now we can enjoy our permanent residence in Australia, but if we ever need legal help, Duarte will undoubtedly be our option.

Thank you for all your hard work".

Joao Luz

 

"It is a family firm in a great location very easy to reach, and with a warm, professional customer feeling. I needed to validate my identification for my settlement in Queensland with a very short notice and Duarte was very generous on understanding my situation and collaborate. Fees are market but availability, professionalism and convenience is priceless". 

Cesar Moreno

 

"Highly recommended. Outstanding professional. Duarte has been a trustworthy advisor in several different legal areas. 

He always engages and goes further. Thank you Duarte!".

Rodrigo Palma

 

"Just a short note of thanks to Duarte for taking care of and resolving what was quite a complex matter. As you are aware, the matter was further complicated by the language barrier which again was smoothed over by you being able to communicate with foreign lawyers. Your understanding of both Australian Law and European Law was extremely invaluable. On a personal note, I was very impressed with your ability to make me feel relaxed and that all was under control. Your attention to detail, honest appraisals and clear communication was very important and appreciated. I sincerely wish you well in all endeavours". 

Greg Webb

 

"I had court documents needing to be translated, Mr Bazaliza was able to sort my case and get a good outcome for me. I found Mr Bazaliza to be a very sincere and honest gentleman, who I found very easy to confide and trust in. I would recommend Mr Bazaliza to anyone in need of a lawyer specialising in International Law as well as Australian Law. I can't thank Mr Bazaliza enough for all the help & kindness". 

Kathy Smith

 

"We found Duarte to be very focused on what we were looking to achieve and keen to help us get there. He was very thoughtful and offered excellent advice which we invariably went with. He really listened to what we had to say then followed it up with action. Duarte also took the time and care to resolve any problems we had. We were very happy with his services".

Mauricio Oliani

 

"I highly recommend the services of Mr. Duarte Bazaliza for his professionalism, availability, friendliness and by the way that Mr Bazaliza received me in his office. Also for the plain and enlightening way in which he approached the matter, that led me to seek his legal services. Thank you so much Mr Bazaliza, I will keep recommending your services as I have done in the past to my friends and acquaintances, and to anyone that might need the legal services of a Sydney Lawyer in the future. I hope to catch up soon and all the best". 

Jacques Ruela

 

"I came to Duarte as a last resort to a problem that suddenly came into my life. He not only helped me figure out how to deal with it in the best legal way possible, but throughout the whole process he was always very supportive and positive about the outcome. Duarte not only gave me the confidence that I needed at the time but also the legal advice that I was looking for. Overall I had a really good experience!".

Catarina Martins

 

"Duarte has proven to me that stressful situations can turn into smooth processes with the right legal advice. I will definitely recommend Bazaliza Lawyers to anyone in need of an honest and highly competent service. A big thank you for all the organisation, patience and knowledge showed in the whole process".

Margarida Salvado

 

"Duarte represented myself in a very difficult and complicated criminal case abroad and I could not have been happier with the results. Duarte was both professional and accommodating when dealing with my case and his compassionate nature comforted me during the otherwise daunting experience. Duarte’s wealth of knowledge in the legal system and all that encompasses it along with his reliable contacts abroad were beyond value to me. I would not only recommend Duarte as a Lawyer, I am proud to call him a friend".

Sam Williams

 

"I was very fortunate to be recommended Duarte when I was in urgent need of legal advice and assistance in what seemed to be a very complicated overseas family legal matter.

From the very beginning, Duarte was extremely professional and gave me the confidence to believe that there would be a successful resolution to my family’s situation. In his very efficient and friendly manner, he made sure I was aware of all my options, what documents and actions were required, what timeframes would be involved, and what costs would be incurred. He promptly provided updates and always discussed pros and cons with me to ensure I was comfortable before proceeding to the next step of the process.

In all our dealings, I was confident he had our best interests at heart and it was very reassuring to know that Duarte would ensure the best possible outcome, and it really helped minimise any associated stress. 

Because I also needed to access overseas legal documents (which were proving to be impossible for my family to locate) that were crucial to the legal matters progressing ahead, Duarte’s overseas contacts and knowledge of international law were invaluable, not to mention his considerable professionalism and diplomacy in dealing with overseas lawyers and bureaucracy. If it hadn’t been for Duarte’s expertise, our particular situation would not have progressed – we are certainly very thankful  we were recommended Duarte and that he accepted our case.  

I would not hesitate to recommend Duarte’s very professional services and very considerable legal knowledge, and hope to again use his services in any future family matters".

Elisabeth McKinnon

 

"I am currently working with Duarte on a complex migration matter. Duarte is very relatable, down to earth. His calm nature yet vast knowledge about the legal system and life in general, gives a feeling of warmth, being heard and understood.
He is a friend, an excellent professional and has a welcoming aura". 

Depuun Ifyaka

 

"Duarte is a very knowledgeable and experienced lawyer with a professional attitude to match. His professional acumen was integral in achieving a positive result and in turning an unpleasant experience into one that was much less so. Duarte ensured that the entire process was easy to understand and as painless as possible and I will definitely be a returning client in any potential future matters and I'd also highly recommend him to any friends that required similar services".

Luis Costa

 

"The guidance and support Duarte offered me and my partner was invaluable. He's very kind and professional and made our long, complicated process seem easy and under control. Duarte was an asset to us and we wouldn't hesitate to seek his help in the future".

Abby Lindig

 

"Duarte helped my partner and me throughout our Permanent Residency Visa process. From end to end, Duarte was always a beacon of positivity and expertise. Furthermore, his calm and empathetic demeanour offered support and hope when the likelihood of a positive outcome of our process seemed so far and frustrating. My partner and I couldn't be more pleased with Duarte Bazaliza' services, and highly recommend Duarte without reservation".

Ana Ferreira

 

"When I hired Mr. Bazaliza’s services, I was met with kindness, efficiency and pro-activity. Mr. Bazaliza understands his clients’ needs and goes the extra mile to provide an optimal solution. His technical knowledge, allied with his expertise and his can-do attitude, make him the ideal lawyer and immigration agent. Moreover, he has shown to be always accessible, answering queries either by phone or by e-mail, in a very short period of time, reducing thus the anxiety that some of his clients may face. In short, Mr. Bazaliza has a perfect balance between professionalism and a touch of personal care, creating a great empathy with his clients. Thank you for your help Mr. Bazaliza!".

Antonio Vasconcelos Moreira

 

"I would say fate brought Duarte and I together. I was in need of an immigration lawyer and fast! Having a legal background myself, I knew with such time constraints and full time work it left little time for me to sort my legal matter myself. I had been searching for immigration lawyers for weeks and could find no one who was affordable, efficient, and personable. I had one month to sort out my partner visa application and to my surprise the stars aligned, and on New Years Eve night I met Duarte! His assistance was not only invaluable, but also thorough, efficient, and consistent.

As I stated, I had only one month to prepare the partner visa application and submit it. People usually spend several months to a year prepping such applications. However, my situation was rather unique as I didn’t meet my partner until a couple months before hand. Nonetheless, it was no trouble for Duarte. He worked with my partner and I every day and every night for thirty days straight.

Duarte’s way of doing business is not only professional, but proficient.  He told us all our available options, our time limit, and costs straight up. He told us what he needed from us, when he needed it, and how to do it. He prepped all documents and handed them to us to fill in. He took care of the BUPA Health assessment registration, Australian Federal Police Check, and American FBI background check, and all he needed was the payment to be provided to them. He even spent a full day at court with my partner and I to assist us in a rather unusual matter. His dedication and work ethic is reassuring and reliable. His positivity and composure throughout a stressful situation is not only reassuring, but very much appreciated in testing times.

The point to take away is that no matter what your legal situation is, no matter the time constraint, or limited available legal options for your particular situation Duarte can and will be able to successfully assist you with your legal matter. Although the big guy already knows; BIG THANK YOU again to Duarte!".

Duarte has always been dealing with all the subjects very closely, and doing a very good follow up at all times.

Thank you very much for everything. Keep up the good work!"
