Testimonials

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Great experience having Jarrod represent us. Took in all the details, he was thoroughly prepared, and we ended up with a better than expected outcome. He gave us all the information we needed so we were comfortable throughout and kept us informed. His negotiations prior to hearing meant we had much better deal than if we had tried to go it alone. Competitive rates, easy to talk to, highly recommend.

    Jarrod did an amazing job dealing with an issue that came up in my family. We aren't in Melbourne, actually over two hours away, and nothing was a problem. There was no judgement shown towards us, and he handled everything in a professional and prompt manner. He was very easy to talk to and put us at ease. Was a very successful experience.

    Jarrod was a great support and advocate for me in my criminal matter. He took the time to understand my matter, explain clearly to me my options and the risks associated with each and support me in my decision. He kept me updated throughout the process and successfully negotiated with the prosecution prior to the matter reaching court to have the charges dismissed. Very glad I had Jarrod to guide and help me through this rather than doing it myself.
