I cannot speak highly enough of Anderson Telford Lawyers Mount Isa for the outstanding service they provided in my son’s legal matter. From the very beginning Andy, Holly and the team were professional, compassionate and extremely thorough. They took the time to explain every step of the process which gave us reassurance during a very stressful time. A special thank you to the incredible Holly Vonhoff who represented my son. Holly not only achieved an excellent result at the case conferencing stage, but she was also firm, confident and did not back down at sentencing. Her strong advocacy resulted in the judge ruling in my son’s favour. What could have resulted in a period of imprisonment was reduced to a fine with no conviction recorded — an outcome that truly exceeded our expectations. Holly’s dedication, expertise and determination made all the difference. We felt supported and confident knowing my son was in such capable hands. I am extremely grateful and would highly recommend Anderson Telford Lawyers to anyone needing exceptional legal representation.

Andy and his team are exceptional. Their professionalism and constant support is second to none. Andy always keeps you informed on every aspect of your case. Although he was always extremely busy, he was never to busy to return our phone call or text. Andy was always to the point and not one to pull punches, and that's exactly what we needed. The whole team was so helpful and kind throughout the whole experience. We can't thank you enough Andy. Amazing outcome. Amazing Team.

I highly recommend Anderson Telford Lawyers. The pricing is upfront and unlike other lawyers, they don’t take advantage of their client’s emotional distress to get as much out of them in legal fees as possible. My experience has been that their conduct exemplifies the legal ethics that many other lawyers/law firms only claim to have.

I highly recommend the Anderson and Telford team. Over the last 12 months they have worked closely with us to achieve an outcome that was highly favourable. Andy always answered his phone when we called. The whole team were upfront and honest with us the whole way through and helped us to understand exactly what to expect. There was no sugar coating, but defiantly a lot of care and attention to us and our case. Thank you team, we will always be grateful.
