I have used Frettens for many years for conveyancing , employment law, probate and litigation. They are hands down, the most fantastic team of experts in their field. If you have a cause worth fighting for, you'll want Michelle Hayter on your side. She's fierce, fair and (super) friendly in equal measures. Thank you Michelle, you litigation superstar!
