What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Clients regularly describe their legal matters as handled with professionalism and genuine empathy from first contact through to resolution, and the advice given is repeatedly characterised as clear, realistic and easy to follow. Several reviewers explain that case progress was outlined in plain language, with correspondence answered promptly and comprehensively, leaving them feeling informed rather than confused. Named solicitors including Billy G, Sinead, Jean Choi, Craig DoRozario, Ashleigh DoRozario, Mark Williams and Chris Korbel are credited with personal attention and steady guidance, while support staff such as Meg, Bree, Neve Wright and Connor Williams are noted for keeping instructions and communications moving without friction.

The work covered spans criminal defence, weapons licensing, employment disputes, Blue Card Services questions, personal injury claims and admission processes. Something that features in review after review is the confidence clients felt in having their matter managed properly, with thorough submissions and successful results. Transparency around fees and charges is also mentioned, with costs seen as justified by the effort invested. Many say they have passed the firm's name on to friends and colleagues.

Highly recommended. Jean, Chris and the team were informative, realistic with their advice and transparent with their fees and charges. Jean in particular was very easy to communicate with and explained in layman's terms the progression of my case. Any correspondence or queries were addressed promptly and comprehensively. An excellent team to help navigate the legal minefield.

Potts Lawyers have acted for me on a number of occasions recently on a diverse range of matters; being weapons licensing, employment law and Blue Card Services. I recommend highly both Chris Korbel and Jack Bendall ... and have in fact recommended them to a number of people in my circle. Both these gentleman have performed professionally and supportively and have obtained optimal results for me. They are not cheap, but as the saying goes, the worst investment you can make is a cheap lawyer! Thank you Chris and Jack. Shaun K

I had a very positive experience with Potts Lawyers. Ashleigh DoRozario was professional, responsive and supportive throughout my matter. The advice was clear, the submissions were thorough, and the outcome was successful. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Billy Gee was outstanding. Meticulously prepared, calm and clear at every step, and a superb advocate on the day — his read of the courtroom was exceptional and he tailored his approach precisely to what was in front of him. He handled a difficult and sensitive matter with real discretion and care, and achieved an outcome far better than I had thought possible. If you need a criminal lawyer who is both technically excellent and a genuinely decent guy, he's the one to call. Highly recommended.

Billy G was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Professional, genuine and made the whole process far less stressful than I expected. Communication above needed, the entire way through and I always felt knew I was in good hands. You can tell he actually cares about his clients and takes pride in what he does. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks again Billy.

My personal experience with Jean Choi and Craig DoRozario has been nothing but exceptional, they’ve looked after myself extremely well, keeping me in the loop with how my case was going and providing clear and efficient information. I would highly recommend Potts lawyers to anyone needing legal help.
