What recent reviews say
Mostly strong outcomes on criminal and family defence work, especially bail and restraining order applications. Two named lawyers, Nick Terry and Alex Smith, draw repeated praise for courtroom presence and genuine client care. One past client disputes advice given years ago and cites ongoing consequences; this does not reflect the bulk of recent feedback.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
Praised for
- skilled courtroom advocates
- strong client relationships
- follows through on complex cases
- responsive and attentive staff
Watch-outs
