“I was referred to Consolidated Lawyers by my financial planner to assist with an employment contract dispute and being a chartered accountant myself, I know how important it is to obtain the right professional assistance when required. After considering the facts of the case Graham advised me appropriately, but reminded me that sometimes it is better to cut your losses and keep your dignity. This struck me as odd based on my traditional interpretation of the legal profession, but Graham explained that at Consolidated Lawyers they look at each client holistically, not only after the financial implications, but the best advice for their client as a person, the face behind the case. Needless to say, when I required legal advice after a relationship break up a few months later, Consolidated Lawyers was my first port of call, and again Graham suggested handling the situation professionally and with integrity. The sensitivity and level of care Graham showed during this emotionally traumatic event proved that Consolidated Lawyers walk their “holistic approach” talk. I now have legal counsel for whatever life will throw at me, and as I am embarking on a new business venture, Consolidated Lawyers will again be there to guide me through unchartered waters.” Ian Frost, Director of Online Plant Hire Pty Ltd

“In 2005/2006 I was involved in litigation with one of the Sydney based companies. I am based in Melbourne and I needed a competent agent solicitor to act for me in Sydney.
Consolidated Lawyers’ Principal, Bechara Shamieh and Senior Solicitor, Graham Fullick brought my case to a very pleasing outcome.
Consolidated Lawyers’ Principal, Bechara Shamieh was very prompt and very understanding. The firm has a modern approach and is not like “old style” solicitors’ practices. Consolidated Lawyers understood the structure of how modern businesses work and were very switched on.
Even though I was in Melbourne and travelling to Russia and continental Europe to do business, they maintained contact the whole time and acted very quickly and at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend Consolidated Lawyers to modern businesses that want to achieve results quickly and go to “the bottom line” without hassle or legal jargon”.
