Louisa Jensen I can confidently say Josh is one of the best in the field. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional legal knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to the case. Their attention to detail, strategic thinking, and ability to communicate complex legal matters in a clear and reassuring manner made the entire process smooth. He was fantastic when it came to family consultation and achieved an exceptional outcome.

Robbie C I highly recommend Josh McKenzie. After speaking with several lawyers, I was recommended Josh by a friend and his knowledge was outstanding. Throughout the entire process, Joshs professionalism, hard work and advice underlined the outstanding nature of his service. Hell work through the entire process with you and be frank in providing all of the options available. During the entire six months, I was always well informed and Josh was prompt in answering any of my queries. In my case, Josh represented me in the Local Court and won an extremely rare outcome - beyond my expectations at the start of the process. This outcome sums up Josh & is a credit to his service. Thank you Josh !

Adam Kaslar Josh was recommended by a family member and I can’t thank him enough. His professionalism and dedication to a local court matter was outstanding. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Josh is genuine, trustworthy and would highly recommend to anyone needing his services.

Michael Partridge Josh went above and beyond when handling our matter and having charges withdrawn. Professional, courteous and very knowledgeable with criminal law. Dont go anywhere else.

Thomas V Josh represented me at a local court recently. Very happy with the outcome he obtained and with the quality of the service provided: highly professional yet personalized and compassionate. Before mandating him I spoke with half a dozen other defense lawyers who did not show his expertise, reactivity and care. He was notably the only one who did not offer a fixed fee yet he discounted his final rate and is totally in line with lower-quality law practices. Josh was my only contact point which is highly appreciated given I was not a complicated / bad crime case. All his suggestions and guidance evidently proved to be smart and well-oriented Definitely recommend !

Charles Adams It was a pleasure to deal with Claire at Shipton and Associates for our rather tricky commercial property purchase. Her communication was excellent and everything went as smoothly as it possibly could. I would highly recommend Shipton and Associates for your legal requirements.

Amy Vandenhurk If I could give more stars I would.! From the first phone call in early November 2023 through until settlement on 20th December 2023, my experience with Shipton and Associates was a seamless and supported one. I had found a commercial property that I was keen to purchase. Sharon answered my initial phone call and took the time to talk through the questions I had and looked over the contract in order to provide a relevant quote that reflected what was needed in my circumstance. Sharon was very efficient and emailed me very soon after our phone call. The email contained a detailed quote and explained the service I would be receiving. It helped me understand the costs and service to be provided in a way that was both extremely professional and clear and that there were no hidden costs. The responsiveness to my phone calls and emails was greatly appreciated. It is so important when you are making large purchases and timing is often critical to get things across the line. Sharon assisted in arranging for a Strata Report to be completed and Claire Richards reviewed the contract and scheduled a time to talk through it with me. Being a contract with an existing lease in place, there were a number of things to consider and her knowledge and the time she took to go through this was so valuable. I felt supported through the whole process and it made me feel confident that everything would be handled professionally and seamlessly, which it absolutely was! Claire managed the communication with the vendors solicitor and was able to adjust the settlement to a later date and then again bring it forward when everything was in place to proceed earlier than expected. Both Sharon and Claire were incredible to work with and kept me in the loop the whole way. I could not recommend them more highly and would work with them again for any future purchase. If you are looking for a professional, efficient, experienced team who are absolutely lovely to work with, I would always recommend Shipton and Associates. Thank you so much Claire and Sharon for your efforts and making this all possible.

Tim Chantelle was fantastic to work with throughout our property purchase. She was responsive, thorough, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and clear communication gave us great confidence every step of the way. Highly recommend her services!

Justin Pinkus Extremely satisfied: Shipton and Associates were fantastic in meeting my conveyancing needs. They didn’t just roll out the conveyancing cookie-cutter but instead took the time to understand my needs and the specifics of my purchase. They made sure I was completely informed about the conveyancing process and made the engagement feel like a partnership right through to its conclusion. I was particularly impressed with their ability to recall the smaller details of my matter. I felt like a valued customer from beginning to end and appreciated the manner in which they brought the personal touch. Thank you Michael, Sharon and Paige for the safe hands and sound advice. I recommend the Shipton’s team without hesitation.

Kate M I have already recommended Shipton and Associates to my friends and family. I am delighted to finally have an appropriately detailed will, that provides me and my family with complete peace of mind. I appreciated the time that Claire Richards spent with me ensuring that I considered and understood everything. Im in good health; yet I also chose to complete my Advance Care Directive with my GP and then have this officially witnessed by Claire to be safely stored with Shipton and Associates. Completing this directive ensures that my health wishes are known and respected if I am ever unable to communicate for myself. My previous will was hastily written in a very basic store-bought will kit, that was inadequate. It failed to address so many really important details such as appointing an enduring power of attorney and an enduring guardian and also determining who would be my agreed substitute for both these roles if ever required. Thankfully I didn’t die or loose capacity with this basic will in place! Thanks to Claire and the team at Shipton and Associates.

Paddy Casey We have used CATLAW for family matters over the years , On each Occasion had fantastic results with John I highly recommend him, We always recommend him when any of our colleagues or friends are looking for legal advice, Regards Patrick

Jonathan Andreas John looked after me during my matter, and relieved me of my anxieties for my first time issue with the courts. Had a great result, and John was supportive and informational the whole way through, always checking up on me throughout the process. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer!

Stuart Hislop I cant recommend John highly enough. When I got myself in more than a spot of bother. I was lucky enough to find CATLAW on a google search of Northern Beaches law firms. John was very professional from the get-go and left no stone unturned to help me fight my case. I am very happy to report that John was successful in having my conviction overturned at the district court last month. If you are ever in the need of the services of a great lawyer, you will be in good hands with CATLAW. Thank you once again for everything you have done for me, John.

Jye Walker I recently had the pleasure of working with John who helped me with a driving whilst suspended offence. He was extremely knowledgeable about the legal process which made me feel confident that I could get the best possible result. The entire process was explained to me in a way that was easy to understand, and John was always available to answer my questions. What really impressed me was the dedication to my case. John worked tirelessly to build a strong defence, kept me informed every step of the way as well as creating a friendly atmosphere getting to know me and my situation on a more personal level. I feel it is important to note that all of this contact and support followed after I had just made my initial contact with him a week before my court date. John didn’t seem to stress or hesitate to get the case going even with the added pressure of a short deadline. In the end, John’s hard work paid off, and I received a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. I truly believe that I couldn’t have achieved this result with anyone else. I cannot recommend John highly enough. If you are in need of legal representation you will not find a better lawyer. He is professional, knowledgeable, and shows complete dedication to clients. However, hopefully won’t have to see you again :) Five stars all around!

Simon Lindley Recently had the pleasure of working with John Dinale on a DUI charge. My DUI was a little different in that I was involved in a head-on collision whilst riding a motorcycle. John is easy to get along with, great to speak to and I never felt stressed with his knowledge and guidance. I knew I made a mistake and originally planned on pleading guilty and representing myself, but a quick search for a Beaches lawyer and getting in contact with John was the best discission I couldve made. He is down to earth, realistic, thorough and covered every base in creating my plea and giving me options to help myself receive the best outcome. I was never too focused on what penalties/sentence I was going to receive as it was my fault at the end of the day, but in saying that the outcome was excellent and nowhere else would I have gotten the kind of results John achieved for me. A massive thanks and cheers to you John for your hard work. I hope I wont have to use your services again but being young and dumb I know who to call.

Chris Brown Excellent family law lawyer

Kristie Lea Campbell at Conveyancing Manly went above and beyond to assist me as a first time homebuyer. Not only did he handle the usual legal aspects with expertise he also stepped in to help with putting in an offer and liaising with the estate agent. He amended the contract quickly and accurately and his confidence and knowledge made the entire process smooth and stressfree. Highly recommend Campbell for his exceptional service and dedication.

Helen Thompson Would definitely use Campbell and team again for conveyancing. Campbell is adept in this area. He explained things to us clearly and gave us good support and advice when we were buying a property. Apart from this he also very approachable and down to earth. All of this made the process less daunting.

Tom Nohel Campbell helped as with our initial purchase in Sydney. At the time he provided timely, informed advice. We had no hesitation engaging him again recently and the experience was the same - friendly, timely informed service beyond the transactional approach we experienced with others.

Sean Pham I highly recommended Campbell Mills. He is really prompt in response and provided us with good advices regarding risks. He seems really knowledgable and engaging. I havent had the chance to go through the complete conveyancing with him because we withdrew our offer after considering the high risks he mentioned, but will definitely return back to him when searching for the new home.

Daniel Douma Campbell has helped us through a difficult new build settlement process. He has explained to us all of the risks and details in straight forward terms, and achieved a great outcome for us. I would highly recommend him, and plan to use him again for any of our future conveyancing requirements!

Liam Healey Evan has acted for me on a number of property sales and has assisted during planning and renovation work. Evan has achieved some outstanding commercial outcomes in the situations he has acted for me on. Evan has excellent attention to detail and weighs up key risk areas in all aspects of a transaction, anticipating issues before they arise. Evan is extremely responsive and an excellent communicator who ensures the client is fully informed about the legal strategy on a matter and its progress. I would not hesitate to recommend Evan.

Sam McOwan Evan Coombes from N.C. Coombes & Co acted as our solicitor in our extended process of buying our first house. Evan was very timely, clear and precise in the multiple contract reviews he assisted us with before finally finding the house that we bought. His diligence in the finer contract clauses was impressive and his experience really showed in negotiating the final contract terms and making sure the settlement process was smooth. In the cut and thrust of trying to land a home purchase in a competitive market, Evan is definitely someone you want on your side. He keeps the other parties honest and helped us navigate what would otherwise have been a daunting task. Highly recommend!

Thomas Kindred Evan has provided advice with several propriety and estate matters over serval years. He and his team are always professional and efficient in helping resolve any issues or potential concerns ensuring the best possible outcome is achieved.

Leigh Jager I highly recommend Steve Walker and his team. They have not left one stone unturned to help me through my claim. They kept me informed all the way through. They are always there for me and always reply to emails promptly. They explain things in easy to understand terms. I cant speak highly enough of Ivica Covic,he has been a god send. Steve and his team go above and beyond to get results. I dont think there would be a better team of lawyers anywhere.

Eric I am extremely grateful for the outstanding service provided by Walker Law Group over the past few months since I joined them. In this short period, Steve, Ivica and the team at Walker Law Group have accomplished more for my case than my previous lawyers achieved in over two and a half years, and theyve helped me with issues that my previous lawyer couldnt address. I truly wish I had known them from the start of my workers compensation claim. They ensured my weekly payments were processed accurately and represented me diligently throughout the process until we achieved favourable results. I cannot thank them enough for their dedication, professionalism, and support! I highly recommend Walker Law group to anyone in need of workers compensation assistance.

Pedro Richards I cannot express enough gratitude to Maddie Brown and the entire team at Walker Law Group. When I was at my most vulnerable—injured, unemployed, and drowning in medical debt—they stood by my side and fought for me unconditionally. As a foreign worker in Australia, I felt powerless after a workplace accident. But Maddie took the time to listen to my story and took action when no one else would. For over three years, they worked tirelessly to ensure I received justice. Even after I left the country, Maddie and her team continued to support me from thousands of miles away. Thanks to their dedication, we won the case, securing compensation that changed everything. Beyond their professionalism, what truly sets them apart is their empathy, kindness, and commitment to their clients. They never asked me for upfront payments, they treated me with respect, and they genuinely cared about my well-being. If youre looking for a law firm that will fight for you with integrity and compassion, look no further. I will always be grateful for what they did for me.
