“My partner and I recently brought our first home in August with the help of Kemps Weir Lawyers. After dealing with real-estate agents & banks we were pretty stressed out and confused by all the jargon that was being used. I reached out to Emily to get advice as to what I needed to do, and from that very moment everything became so easy. She was always very clear and precise with her information and made regular contact throughout the whole process. Both my partner and I felt really looked after especially when Emily took the time to work around our work schedules. Emily Kempkers was an absolute dream to deal with and I highly recommend her to anyone that requires legal help.”

“As a first-home buyer I was a bit nervous about tackling all the steps that went with buying a home but Emily made the process so easy. Every question I had was answered promptly and professionally. What I thought was going to be a stressful process ended up going so smoothly and that was due to Emily’s support. Thank you so much for all your help.”
