Testimonials

P. Schlederer

We found Jason’s approach to be extremely pragmatic and clearly focused on achieving the desired outcome, but without compromising too easily on peripheral issues. We achieved an excellent result through Jason, but it was only later (after having been ‘encouraged’ to use our main lawyers for a new appeal) did we realise not only how good Jason actually is but also what good value he and his firm represent.

I can, and do, recommend him highly.

J. Cooper

Jason and his team have provided accurate, timely and crucial advice in the preparation of the appeals and has acted without reservation in pursuing the best interests of our clients. I continue to refer our clients to his services and am confident in his team’s ability to support their requirements with the same professionalism they have provided in the past.

J. Simmons

We have always found Jason to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable in regards to the provisions of this Act and his services have proved invaluable in getting us successful outcomes. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jason to other clients.
