Excellent professional service from Luke Rodger Christensen2024-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In facing a relationship breakup, it was important to find the right help and support when I really needed it. I saw the near perfect reviews and wondered if a team could be as good as the reviews suggested? …Early on I realised yes, it can. In personally meeting with Luke, I also saw how a deep understanding of the legal field, coupled with a very competent and compassionate team is why good things can emerge from tough situations. Thank you Luke, Clare and Katrina for looking after me when I needed it most.
