Ashkan and his team were very communicative, and very supportive. His team were very clear in email communication and provided the information needed for my case. Doing phone checkups along with a face to face consultation.

Whilst being super supportive they’re also very honest with potential outcomes, and finance. My case went ongoing for upwards 4-5 months and was very affordable.

On the day Ashkan was prepared, presentable, professional and very charismatic.

I achieved the best possible outcome for my case.

I want to share my gratitude and recommendations towards the Ashkan Tai Lawyers team. With the pressures of being from a different state and having to go overseas for a family medical emergencies looming over my head, they kept me updated and level headed regarding my court matter.

It is always difficult to trust others, but I am glad that I trusted in their representation throughout this 2 year ordeal. They work with highly experienced and well renowned barristers and in my case achieved the most desired outcome. My family and I are exetremely grateful.

Thank you Joanna and Nick!!

Ash was great, he put our mind at ease, often answering questions out of office hours. We went into court feeling better that we had him on our side. He got my husband off with a small restitution payment and no criminal conviction which was the best result we could have hoped for. Thanks Ash and team.

I was going through a difficult divorce and needed legal advice regarding child custody and property division. Oya from Ashkan Tai Lawyers was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and always had my best interests at heart. She helped me understand my rights and options, and negotiated a fair settlement on my behalf. I would highly recommend Ashkan Tai Lawyers and Oya to anyone in need of family law services.

I want to write a quick review to communicate how impressed l am with Danielle Egan at Ashkan Tai Lawyers in Southport.

Right from the beginning when matter was transferred to her she was exceedingly professional!

She listened to my side of the case, understood why l was frustrated, gave me important advice from a legal perspective and made it so much easier to understand by breaking down and simplify terminology within the legal system.

The way she thoroughly went through all evidence before the case and made sure everything was covered was impressive to say the least.

Then watching Danielle in the courtroom performing her trade gave me not just a lot more respect for lawyers but especially Danielle as an individual. She was competent, well-spoken and basically killed it! (Not literally haha.)

She got me the best possible outcome which she said she would and was true to her word.

Usually I'd say something along the lines of, l hope she has a long and prosperous career and future but l don't need to because after first hand experiencing her dedication and commitment it's quite obvious she will!

Seriously, if you need a criminal defence lawyer Danielle Egan at Ashkan Tai Lawyers is the right choice and you won't be disappointed.

Cheers

Ashkan represented a close friend of mine. Ash and his team were exceptional in explaining all options to my friend about his defence of criminal matters and executing a plan, which resulted in the best possible outcome. Ash was very communicative, which is rare these days in the legal world and never let my friend down. Ash is very intelligent and understands the law and how to navigate it at a satisfiable price. Without any hesitation, my friend and I highly recommenced Ashkan Tai Lawyers.

I could not have achieved my true potential as a criminal without Ash !

Thankfully my potential as a criminal was nil and this is what Ash and his team were able to successfully show the prosecution.

Ash handled my matter superbly from day one. Got me bail within hours and the right barrister in Mr. Edwards and together they represented me in the best possible manner at every hearing and secured an excellent outcome.

If charges against you bring Ash's legal counsel and comradery into your life then consider them to be one of the best things to have happened to you. Thanks Ash !

I heard from a friend about Ash. He was so incredibly helpful and straightforward with me, non judgmental and great with my family. H e was very honest with me from the very beginning.

Ashkan is the greatest lawyer on the Gold Coast. He kept my best friend out of jail as he deserved. He presented the right information and had the right barrister hired to accentuate the important facts. He was so easy to work with and be honest with. He brings out the best in people. He has also helped out my friends on smaller charges and got them let off on the most minimum. I feel so lucky to have him as a lawyer go to. Highly recommend. Ash will listen to you and understand your situation and give you the best possible outcome come in court.

I’m not one to submit reviews unless well deserved. I live by the sword and I will die by the sword. In saying this I find myself obliged to make time to share my experience being represented by Oya, in what was a last minute request for family law matters.

Oya not only showed up at normal rate with passion and enthusiasm to support my case. She worked on the weekend and after hours at a late ring in, to make time to represent me to her best ability. And this was in my truth with dignity and honour.

Not an easy find in the “court” game.

I highly recommend this firm and its ethical work practice.

With gratitude 🙏🏽

Ashkan is professional from beginning to end. He is approachable, easy to talk to, tells you like it is even if it is hard for one to hear and was always available if ever I had questions or doubts. As most people find, having to deal with the legal system is challenging enough, never mind why you are requiring a lawyer, throughout the whole process Ashkan assured me every step of the way and achieved an awesome result for me. I trusted Ashkan implicitly. I also at times dealt with Joanna, who was just like Ashkan, both professional and approachable. I thank them both for their true professionalism and obtaining a positive outcome of a very challenging stressful situation for me. I would 100% recommend Ashkan and his team to anyone requiring legal representation.

Ashkan Tai Lawyers is the place to go with your legal matters. All the team is amazingly helpful and friendly. In my family matter, Oya Girgin managed to settle the case, which was going on for almost four years, in less than two weeks. Finally, my little princess has access to her dad’s cognitive, educational, and creative input; and we spend quality time together. Oya is exceptionally honest, extremely knowledgeable on family law, and courageous. I recommend Oya with no hesitation. I thank Oya and the team from the bottom of my heart!

Oya was very knowledgeable, readily available & reasonable priced. She explained each step in the process in detail reassuring me along the way. She worked hard to achieve my desired outcome. She made an extremely difficult process easier and was a pillar of support treating me like a friend rather than a business deal. She is consistently reliable and advocated for my wants at every opportunity. She was very effective in negotiations with opposing counsel, working tirelessly to achieve a great outcome for me. Another benefit is that her current firm handles all aspects of law and communicate readily so one case does not do anything to the detriment of another. Very happy with her service and would definitely use her again in the future.
