Great experience within a stressful matter!

5

My experience with Tim Jones and Leanne Latham was very positive. From my initial enquiry, to the finalised settlement agreement. Both Leanne and Tim have been very quick in both responding and moving the process along. Both were able to offer clear and supportive guidance and Tim provided legal advice in an easy to understand manner.

Both Leanne and Tim made this process a whole lot easier. I met Tim feeling very anxious about the whole situation but I left feeling at ease and confident I was making the right decision.

Removal of executor and eviction.

Tim has had experience in similar cases to ours, which gave us confidence in his ability. He was very professional throughout the two court cases he dealt with and produced a successful result for both. Good communication throughout with a sense of humour to lighten the stressful situation.

I cannot thank Tim enough for his help with a complex, protracted case. Even at it's lowest points, Tim always gave me hope we would get through it and he was always calm, professional and put me at ease. Would recommend him to anyone.

Tim Jones did a first rate job from beginning to resolution of a will dispute. He gave us full confidence through the initial meetings to the day itself.
He was fully prepared for the outcome, saving time and money through meticulous preparation.
Would have no hesitation in recommending.
