What Our Clients Have To Say
I found myself facing the criminal justice system for the first (and hopefully only) time. Contacted O'Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors based on the number of positive reviews and was put through to Elliot Rowe. His patience with me was outstanding helping me navigate and understand what lay ahead. Never felt rushed. He was very objective and not judgemental in any way. Gave me plenty of options which allowed me to arrive at a fair outcome. At sentencing, he spent the whole day with me in court. I consider Elliot to be more an ally, not just a lawyer. Can't recommend Elliot highly enough. -
Ordinary people standing up against inhumanity, abuses of power, and for a better world need to know someone has their back when their own rights are abused. Thank you.
I do not have enough good things to say about this firm. My fiancee suffered a very distressing online attack on her reputation. This was successfully dealt with by this firm both speedily and effectively, but more importantly with empathy and compassion. I would not hesitate to use them again in future and remain incredibly grateful for their assistance.
Peter and his team assisted myself to obtain my trades licence in NSW. I am so grateful that I chose Peter at O’Brien Criminal & Civil Solicitors as I do not believe that any other organisation could have provided such a great case in my defence. The outcome will be life changing for myself and I am beside myself with joy that I chose this firm. Peter and your fabulous team, keep up the great work!
Very good at their game and regarded highly, but with a conscience and strong humanities mindset, not there just to take your money.
