Employment Law Advice

I would not hesitate to recommend Johnathan Moreland to help with any employment law issue. His knowledge, professionalism and integrity is outstanding and I have worked with Johnathan and SM for the last 15 years and have always received excellent advice and exemplary customer service.

Highly recommend

Sharney came highly recommended to me by a friend for a time-sensitive matter, and she was excellent throughout. She took the time to listen to my needs, acted promptly, and everything was dealt with and completed within just a few days. She was very easy to deal with, professional throughout, and I felt in safe hands from start to finish.

I recently used Swinburne Maddison for a house sale and purchase, with Laura Duff as my primary point of contact. Laura was always responsive, patient, and happy to explain any aspect of the process in detail. She remained calm and professional even under pressure from communication from multiple parties. Based on such a positive experience, I’ve already appointed the firm again to handle the sale of a parent’s property.

Thank you for your review. We are really grateful for your positive feedback and will be sure to pass it on to Laura. We look forward to working with you again.
