Highly recommended. Sofia is amazing. Our application wasn’t straightforward, but Sofia took it. We consulted with multiple migration lawyers before meeting her, and in our first meeting with Sofia, we knew she was the best-suited lawyer for us. She is knowledgeable and, most importantly, took the time to listen and understand our case.Sofia was proactive and creative with our application without giving us false hopes; honest and always had excellent ideas on how to respond to the challenges we faced. In 4 years, we never had to follow up because she’s on top of it. She regularly gave us updates. Thank you Sofia for all the help. Our family can’t thank you enough for your support and assistance.

We won from AAT， with Sofia and M legal Australia's professionalism and caring service, we have made precedent case. My case is an extrme level of complexity case that involves court orders, customary practices in other countries that confilct with current asutralian practice. We have tried everything including securing court orders from both countries, find social workers to support as strong side proofs etc in the last 6 years. It all paid off when the statements from AAT put it very clearly all steps and all evidance contribute to a bit of trustworthy weight in the overall puzzel. This is our family's personal story and this is the level of service Sofia and M legal can provide. It's beyond a case with solid professional support, deep understanding of the current law and emotional care!

Sofia helped me secure our Resident Return Visas to Australia in quite a complicated situation. From the moment I contacted her she was incredibly responsive and clearly had huge experience in this area. She was able to advise us as to exactly what documents/evidence we needed and help us put together a really clear narrative as to why we should be granted approval. Her attention to detail is fantastic and the visa was granted in only 8 days. I can't thank Sofia enough and I can absolutely recommend her as someone who will invest time and attention into each individual case. Thanks, Sofia - you made a potentially stressful process super easy!

As a first time home seller - I engaged with M Legal (Leia Mathai) for assistance in the process. Leia was an enormous help in setting out the plan of sale, communication amongst the various parties, taking care of unexpected developments from the buyer side, and ultimately during the closing.I truly appreciate her attentiveness and genuine care during this entire process - which was further complicated by the fact that I was moving overseas while all of this was taking place.I would personally go out of my way to engage Leia in this capacity if I were ever presented with the situation again, and 100% recommend her performance and attention to detail on all aspects involved in transactions of this nature.

Sofia has been an absolute pleasure to work with as she has helped me as an American apply for Australian permanent residency. I have a certain health issue that has been brought up by the Australian health minister which has created somewhat of a roadblock for us but Sofia has been able to gather evidence and formulate a strategy to argue how my future contributions to Australia outweigh any costs my health condition will impose on the Australian healthcare system. When I read her arguments that we were going to submit I was very impressed with her ability to articulate our position and back her words with evidence. Sofia is clearly very good at what she does and I couldn't be happier to have her on my side. I would highly recommend Sofia and M Legal to anyone looking for immigration assistance. Thanks Sofia!

We became Sofia's clients after having had a terrible experience with another migration agent. Sofia turned out to be the best thing that could have possibly happen to us. She was extremely reliable, quick in her replies and crystal clear in her explanations about the process. What we expected to become a disaster actually turned into a very positive experience with a great outcome. And that was mostly due to Sofia's great work. She is a star and we can recommend her wholeheartedly. In fact: Go and secure her as your migration agent .. you can't get anybody better than her.
