What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A willingness to go well beyond the expected is the theme that surfaces most often in feedback about this Coffs Harbour criminal law practice. Todd is repeatedly described as hard working and plain talking, and his handling of a neighbour dispute and other legal matters is remembered for directness and for keeping those involved properly informed. Bianca, whose name appears again and again, is praised for kindness and quick replies, including a traffic incident involving a daughter, where she and her assistant Gwen are said to have exceeded expectations while the parents could not be present.

A handful of customers describe follow-up as thorough, with emails answered without delay and no sense of being left in the dark about a matter. One account records that the result felt worthwhile given the price. The repeated names suggest continuity of care, and the work covered ranges across criminal and general legal matters. What stands out across the accounts is the personal generosity and persistence shown on sensitive cases, particularly Bianca's, alongside professional results.

Bianca is the kindest lawyer you'll ever find! Recently my daughter needed help with a traffic incident. Bianca (and her assistant Gwen) went over and above and beyond to help in a fraught situation when parents couldn't be there. Her follow up was equally as thorough and her generosity of heart is next level. Highly recommend and while hopefully we won't need them again - will definitely return if we find ourselves needing legal advice. Thank you Bianca, you have helped us so much.

Todd is an absolutely outstanding man with great practice, experience and professionalism. He helped me with some legal matters recently and it was very much worth the price. I couldn’t have found a better man for the job. And Bianca, Who I met at reception, is such nice and helpful person. She was very communicative, getting back to me quickly and I never felt as though I was in the dark about anything when emailing her. I would highly recommend Ritchie Lawyers simply based on the incredible service they provide and the great work they do to help you.

I have known Todd for over ten years now. He successfully defended my partner in a neighbour dispute. He is a hard working, plain talking man who is extremely good at his job. I would highly recommend Todd to anyone seeking legal advice and assistance.
