What Clients Say
Barrister Services
I have no hesitation recommending Sue-Ellen as a skilled and experienced barrister.
Sue-Ellen was briefed in my DV case. It was a difficult case.
She has passion and unmatched communication skills in her areas of interest. She has a calm, assured and knowledgeable approach, which she brought to help with my case.
Sue-Ellen understood my objectives and advocated for me in a composed, confident manner. She advised me clearly when I felt very stressed, and interpreted the law for my ease of understanding.
Her communications were detailed, creative and accurate.
Her life experience and legal experience helped reduce my stress about the case.”
MEDIATION SERVICES
“I have been meaning to send you an email saying thank you for how much you have changed the way I handle this divorce and the strength that you have given me to stand up for myself.
I know you would know by now that you are very good at your job, but I hope you also know how much you have made an impact on my life. I don’t think that things would be going as smoothly as they currently are if it weren’t for you.
I feel like a much more stable and happier person since you told me not to accept his behaviour anymore. I look back and realise that my family were telling me that his behaviour was not acceptable for quite a while, but hearing it from someone without Bias or a vested interest was what I needed.
I really hope you can appreciate the difference you can make in people’s lives…”
