Client testimonials

"Brilliant! I'm very happy and in fact have already referred another client to Michael. Michael is very good and I feel his real difference compared to others is that he has a very firm grip on the psychology and emotions behind a separation. I will continue to recommend Michael to anyone I know who is thinking about divorcing. "

Damien, Resort Owner

"We found the service at SMH sensational and we're unbelievably happy with the work that was done for us. Col is a legend and even though this matter didn't proceed, we will be coming back to use SMH when we find another building."

Mark, Management Rights Industry

"Michael is the consummate professional and he has the ability of getting straight to the issue, no matter how complex. He achieves timely results and has an in depth knowledge of the law which extends well beyond family law. Michael is compassionate and always has time to talk through an issue even when he is overseas or away on holidays he will respond to his clients. I can not recommend him highly enough to anyone who needs a man of probity who knows his law and puts his client first."

Dr Jacqueline Kerr

"Col has been my go to lawyer for more than 20 years. He and his team have looked after many property developments for me over the years and they always do a great job helping me get through each development. I like that I can call any member of the team and get the legal advice I need at the time. I guess you could say that our relationship is more like a partnership than client and solicitor. "

Robert, Property Developer
