I could not thank Hamilton Janke Lawyers enough. Exceptionally professional company from start to finish. From reception to court appearances. James is an expert in his field, I had full confidence that he would be able to give my partner the positive outcome we hoped for; regardless of how complicated her case was. No doubt anyone who needs to contact this company would be full of anxiety and worry, yet the service we received at Hamilton Janke Lawyers eased those worries from the first phone call. Attentive, personable and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend James and the team to anyone in need of help. The world needs more companies like this. Thank you.
