Dear Michael, Ashleigh and Team,

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your support and services for my Son, [D]. I believe that your guidance and prolonging the Trial Date, as long as possible, helped tremendously in [D’s] favour. It could have been much worse.

In addition, I deeply appreciate your fee’s agreement and understanding.

Please allow my family and I to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Festive Season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Kindest Regards,

Hi Michael, thank you for your efforts over the last few weeks. It was great to get the not guilty verdict[s] today. Throughout the trial you showed professionalism with even temper against a particularly feisty, difficult and unrelenting opponent who failed to play by the rule book. Well done to you. Enjoy the weekend. Will talk soon.

Regards

G.S.

Thank you very much for once again helping out my client as it is not easy finding lawyers who are youth friendly and you have done an amazing job.

You have always given my clients great outcomes and treated them in a non-judgemental and respectful manner and explained things to them in simple language which is exactly what they need. My experience with previous lawyers in the past has not been so good ...
