What our clients have to say
Greg
"I am very happy with the people involved with my matter. My initial call, when I was desperate for legal aid, the Solicitor gave me advice which gave me less anxiety as I was to face court with little or no information on how to proceed. The solicitors that handled my case knew the possible outcome (which did occur) and it was a great experience. The pricing was affordable and we look to return as a customer for conveyancing when we have the opportunity to purchase a home."
Natasha
"My praise and gratitude to Peta and her team cannot be explained. Being the first time having to use legal services was daunting and emotional. Peta always showed professionalism but had empathy for my circumstances. I truly believe I would not have received the results without her knowledge and willingness to support my needs and wants. Words cannot express the gratitude and respect I feel for Peta and her team they took the stress off my shoulders and always made me feel at ease."
Ron & Jill
"Our experience with your firm was very emotional in the beginning, but James listened and obviously cared about our situation. Peta handled our case very personally and Tanya very politely answered any questions I had when Peta was not available. Thank you all for your help.”
