I went through an extremely difficult court process with regards to an IVO matter. No one wanted to listen to me. After calling Shane for advice, I felt in a much better state to have the duty lawyers and the judge, listen. It was great advice, coupled with a lawyer friend of Shane’s, able to assist the respondent too. Got a great outcome all round. Shane’s knowledge and experience is second to none. He is also extremely warm and kind too. Thanks so much again!

I’m very grateful that Shane took over my case of a contract termination. He was attentive and listened the whole story patiently. He walked me through the process with great care and attention to detail, and worked after hours to get it done. It was a pleasure working with him. Thanks again Shane.

Shane was great to work with and helped me as a respondent, to an intervention order. He helped me return home to my children even though I shouldnt have left in the first place. I found Shane to be empathetic, encouraging, full of knowledge and he made the process as smooth as possible whilst also preparing me for the worst case scenario. Well, I had a great result in the end and now I am back with my girls. Thank you very much again 🙏
