I recently sought legal advice for purchasing a home and had a fantastic experience with this law firm. From start to finish, the service was professional, efficient, and extremely helpful. Caleb, in particular, stood out as a top-notch lawyer—knowledgeable, approachable, and always quick to answer any questions I had throughout the process. He made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The whole team was professional and reliable, turning what could have been a stressful time into a seamless one. I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for trustworthy legal assistance, especial…

Fabulous team. We have been with them for over 20 years. Have used them for purchasing/selling residential/commercial property, extablishing/sale of a business, landlord agreements, trusts to name a few. Large enough to specialise in multiple areas of law but small enough that you are not a number and have the ability to retain personal service. Highly recommend them.
I can’t recommend Keam Standen Lawyers, and especially Caleb, highly enough. Caleb went above and beyond to help us resolve a difficult situation, even when it meant putting his client’s needs ahead of the firm’s immediate interest. His honesty, integrity, and unwavering commitment to doing what’s right truly stood out. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and principled. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely stands behind their clients, Caleb is the one to trust. Highly recommend him and the entire team at Keam Standen Lawyers!
Ashley ...our new lawyer was super good...she squeezed in an urgent purchase in super quick time and the fees were very reasonable...i liked caleb as he has been my lawyer for a long time...but i reckon i will work with ashley more...but dont tell caleb...:) Good legal practice...only if they could open a branch in aklnd ...would be handy.....thanks keam standen...u are awesome
There is always something missing amongst the information when dealing with Keam Standen and when questioned, it is always passed of as the clients issue? The kicker is that Caleb Standen, majority shareholder, is incredibly arrogant, self righteous and condescending. There is an obligation in law to hold an element of empathy. Caleb does not have this at any level and has created a company culture which deflects responsibility at all levels. Stay away!
