George Tung Yep - Retired Bishop of the Anglican Church in Australia

Brien Leibinger took much of the mystery out of our Estate Planning process through clear communication (verbal and written) and frequent use of hand drawn white board flow charts. This made it much easier for us to understand the process and options with our reasonably complex personal and business interests. Brien cuts through a lot of the legal jargon and put it into layman’s terms for us. We finished the process very happy knowing that we have done best we could do by our survivors with documents we are confident reflect our wishes.

I feel extremely fortunate to have been referred to Brien Leibinger.

Brien won my trust and respect very quickly and he can be counted on to get the job done and achieve the best possible outcome in a timely and proficient manner. It has been an absolute pleasure to have Brien as my legal representative. I highly recommend him to my friends and colleagues.

Dr Karen Benn

I cannot thank you enough for your wisdom and excellent advice during the process of reviewing, updating and redrafting the multiple documents within my Estate. The legal complexities of the various documents were clearly explained and I felt comfortable in requesting multiple changes to the drafts ensuring their integrity and that the outcomes in each of the documents was exactly what I wanted and could be easily understood in plain English rather than legal jargon.
