What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Hugo Law Group Canberra draws consistently positive accounts from clients facing serious criminal matters, with several reviewers describing their representation as professional, calm and knowledgeable from the first meeting. Named solicitors including Sarah Higgs, Max, Mitchell Grieg, Angus, Thomas Tiffen and Adrian are each mentioned for taking time to explain the legal position clearly and guiding clients through each stage of proceedings with patience.

Practical explanations recur throughout the feedback, as does the sense that clients felt heard and reassured during what they describe as highly stressful circumstances. Preparation is another recurring theme, with reviewers noting detailed submissions to the Magistrates Court and an ability to spot every relevant detail. Communication is repeatedly praised, including prompt responses to calls, messages and emails, and one client specifically mentions being phoned rather than simply emailed when questions arose.

On costs, reviewers describe fees as accurate, fair and reasonable, with one noting that potential avenues and their associated expenses were set out beforehand. Speed of response, a structured defence approach and knowledge of local magistrates are also highlighted. Outcomes are described as successful, often better than anticipated, including results in matters clients initially viewed as very serious. The written and oral advocacy of these Canberra solicitors, particularly in Magistrates Court proceedings, is a point clients return to.

Better outcome than expected. Have dealt with a few firms and Max was particularly structured in his approach, targeted with his defence, fast to reply and had that extra knowledge of magistrates. Other firms feel like they just go through the motions of the legal process to the point where you feel like you'd be better off just reperesenting yourself for the cost. This is the difference in hiring a laywer that is invested in the profession and Max made me feel confident that the outcome was in the best hands. Thank you.

I came across Hugo Law through a Google search and was represented by Mitchell Grieg. From the very beginning, Mitchell was professional, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided me through every step of the process with confidence and made sure I understood my options. He went above and beyond in his efforts to achieve the best possible outcome for my situation. What I was initially facing was very serious, but thanks to Mitchell’s hard work, dedication, and expertise, the result was far better than I ever expected. I can’t speak highly enough of the commitment he showed throughout my case. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and fights for the best outcome, I would highly recommend Mitchell and the team at Hugo Law.

I want to say thank you to Angus and the team. Had never needed a lawyer Angus got the best possible result for me. He was professional every step of the way and answered every question, phone call or message I sent. The pricing was accurate and fair and i was advised of every avenue available to myself and the costs associated. Angus did not ever lie or mislead me in our chances or the costs associated with my matter. I genuinely can’t thank him enough for his support

I cannot thank Sarah Higgs enough for her professionalism, support, and dedication throughout my matter. From the very beginning, she made me feel heard, supported, and reassured during an incredibly stressful time. Sarah was calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate, always taking the time to explain everything clearly and guide me through the process with honesty and care. Her preparation and representation in court gave me confidence when I needed it most. I am truly grateful for the outcome and for the way she handled everything with professionalism and integrity. I would highly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone needing legal support.

Hugo Law repented me and it made the whole situation easier. Max Haesler was the lawyer through the whole process, he always made sure I knew what was going to happen and all the outcomes, he took time to explain everything to me and never rushed me. I would recommend both Max and Hugo Law to anyone who needs a good strong representation.

Very impressed with Max, who helped a family member handle a very stressful situation. Max was calm and confident, and explained the entire process in a simple but thorough way. There are people out there trying to misuse the system but it helps that there are also people like Max there to stand up for you.

Thomas Tiffen, of Hugo Law Group, has been such a blessing. He took the time to explain the law and was always on the ball throughout the proceedings. It was a success. I would recommend to others.
