Beng Choo Low

“I have known Peter Carlei at Russo Pellicano Carlei Lawyers (RPC Lawyers) for nearly 20 years and have worked with him professionally for over 15 years across multiple legal matters. Over the past 4 to 5 years, I have also had the pleasure of working with Michael Hoareau, who has done great work supporting Peter and upholding the firm’s high standard of service.

Throughout my dealings with RPC Lawyers, Peter and Michael have consistently demonstrated integrity, transparency, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcomes. Their advice has been invaluable in numerous leasing matters, multimillion-dollar property developments, including multi-residential and mixed-use projects around Bayside Melbourne, and structuring complex finance arrangements such as first and second mortgages and caveat loans.

Beyond commercial matters, RPC Lawyers has been a trusted advisor in estates law, assisting with wills, powers of attorney, and other sensitive family affairs. Their expertise in litigation has also been instrumental in resolving property and leasing disputes, always with a focus on practical, cost-effective solutions.

What truly sets RPC Lawyers apart is their unwavering dedication to their clients. The team is not only highly skilled but also approachable, transparent, and committed to building lasting relationships. Their friendly and inviting nature makes you feel like part of the RPC Lawyers family, reinforcing the trust and confidence I have in them.

I highly recommend Peter, Michael, and the RPC Lawyers team to anyone seeking knowledgeable, transparent, and results-driven legal representation.”

Michael Kokkinos

“I was recommended to Russo Pelicano Carlei Lawyers who I engaged on two occasions for a litigation matter. Dealing with Aldo Russo as one of the principals and the driver in my case who provided the overall experience and wisdom on these matters. He provided me with a reassurance of confidence and foreseeable possible outcomes. Together with Aldo, I also dealt with Michael Hoareau who was probably the best I have seen for a young lawyer in terms of doing all the grunt work, very organised, diligent and responsive. He was the one that arranged and provided all the information to our barristers in a concise and simplified order and I will say he did make the experience and process comfortable and the feeling of being in control. My overall experience was good work and a good experience with these guys. I do not hesitate when I am asked in recommending them to other clients, family and friends.”

I highly recommend Michael to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Royce Deckker

“I hereby wish to thank both Aldo and Michael in the manner in which they so thoroughly as well as totally professionally handled my very complex situation regarding my late mother’s property!

They both were exceptionally patient and simplified all complex documentation in simple layman’s terms for me to easily understand. Their regular updates and phone calls regarding my matter and situation even after hours was never a problem to any of them.

They both always availed themselves to any questions which I had on numerous occasions and most impressively always put my welfare first! They were never too busy not to attend to any of my concerns. They undoubtedly fought tooth and nail for a favourable outcome for me for which I’ll always be grateful.

This, together with what I’ve stated earlier is the reason why I would recommend them to anyone wanting to deal with lawyers who are prompt, thorough and professional! And this is why I have already recommended them to friends and relatives!

To both Aldo and Michael once again, I say thank you!”
