Shelby has been amazing for me through my legal journey. I have used her on 3 occasions and got the best possible outcomes on all 3. Her constant support throughout the process made the world of difference and her advice was honest and precise. I definitely recommend Shelby for anyone seeking legal advice and representation
I highly recommend Dayne from Brooke Winter Solicitors. He was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the process in a way that was easy to understand. He was always prompt to respond to my questions and provided clear, concise answers. The outcome was exactly what I had hoped for, and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Once again thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into my case
WARNING!!! Do not waste your time or money on these rude, incompetent, uneducated, ineffectual, ignorant, lazy and disrespectful solicitors especially Miss Dayne. They will not do a good job of representing you. They do not care about you as a client. They do not care about your legal need for advice or assistance. They do not communicate with you and they leave you to have to represent yourself. You will end up in more trouble than you started with!!!
Went through one of the worst experiences of my life and had zero idea of how to navigate family and criminal court. The team at Brooke Winter solicitors suppprted me, giving me advice and taking my feedback, concerns and fear VERY seriously. I was hopeful for a good outcome, the outcone I got was even better than I had hope. Brooke is the MOST responsive and kind solicitor, along with both Dayne and Allanah. I am forever grateful and (while I hope I never have to seek legal aid again) if I were to need any support, I would absolutely contacy Brooke again.
Highly recommend Brooke Winter Solicitors.
All of Brooke Winters associates are friendly, professional, directly to the point and very easy to talk with.
They were able to help myself out with a number of things very quickly with no hidden costs, everything was underlined up front.
Thank you again to Brooke, Alannah and Jess for your help, greatly appreciated.
I highly recommend Brooke winters lawyers for anyone looking for legal help. They are really fast to action what you require. They go above and beyond to ensure you have as little stress during what can be a really stress full time. Lydia was our lawyer and she did a really great job and I am so thankful for her hard work! Thanks
I highly recommend Shelby. Shelby was very supportive and was always contactable. I want to thank her for her commitment and dedication to receive the best outcome possible. I am very happy with the results.
I highly recommend Alanah Albert. I spoke with Alanah, prior to any formal legal engagement, seeking information regarding the justice system and the legal process. With no prior involvement with police or the legal system, I was finding it both daunting and challenging to find out information. Alanah offered her time and expertise. I truly valued her listening to me and explaining the process to me. I cannot express the comfort the phone call to Alanah offered me. One of my greatest frustration with my interactions with others is their complete lack of empathy and compassion. In the short time Alanah spoke with me, I sensed her to be compassionate and caring
Brooke and his team exemplifies pristine professionalism, ensuring every detail is handled with precision and expertise. The team went above and beyond with genuine kindness and compassion, making the challenging legal matters feel manageable. From start to finish, their dedication is evident, offering both expert guidance and unwavering support. Highly recommended!
Thanks Allanah & Brooke
I got myself into a pickle up the sunshine coast and it was a tricky situation dealing with maroochydore court.
I rang Brooke and asked him for Allanah his quote was prompt and very reasonable. A week later I met with Allanah and from the moment she summarized my circumstances I knew I was in capable hands. Allanah not only got the best possible outcome for me, she sympathetic and compassionate toward my situation as at the time I was in poor health. I was able to recover after she reassured me that she was going to get a good result for me and also told me to go home and rest. On the day the matter was held at Southport (after Allanah had the matter transferred), Allanah took care of me the whole time checking that I was comfortable and explaining everything that was happening on the day. I cannot think of a word that equates to Allanah and her ability but she is amazing at her profession. That is probably why I recommend her and have used her numerous times in the past and she continually has improved everytime I have used her to represent me. Each time I did not believe she could improve her skills in the court but like I said an amazing lawyer and makes the impossible seem easy. Thanks Allanah
I needed assistance from Brooke Winter as I was highly referred to him. The help was brilliant in every way. If I know of anybody else requiring legal guidance I will be referring them here
I highly recommend Shelby, Brooke, and the entire team at Brooke Winter Solicitors to anyone in need of legal assistance. Throughout my legal journey, I was incredibly fortunate to have Shelby’s unwavering support and guidance. Her professionalism, understanding, and compassion were truly invaluable. Shelby was always available to address my concerns, answer my questions, and walk me through the complexities of the legal process over the span of two years. I am confident that I received the best possible outcome, and I firmly believe that without Shelby, Brooke, and the team's dedication, this result would not have been possible. Shelby, I cannot express enough gratitude for your commitment and exceptional work—your dedication is truly unmatched.
I cannot praise Brooke Winter and Dayne Baskerville - Hodge enough for their exceptional representation in my son’s case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for my son.
They took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I as well as my son was well-informed and at ease. They both took the stress out of the entire court process and my son received the best possible outcome with his charge.
If you're in need of top-notch legal professionals who genuinely care about their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Brooke Winter Solicitors.
Brooke Winter Solicitors did an amazing job on my case that resulted in a great outcome in court.

I highly recommend being represented by Dayne, and this firm as a whole. I give my experience with these guys an 11 Star rating! So much Credit to Dayne.
I am extremely satisfied with the service provided. Brooke promptly took action on my case, clearly explaining my rights and the procedures involved. This initial guidance was invaluable and set a solid foundation for my case.
A few weeks later, my case was handed over to Alana, who was outstanding in every way. She took the time to thoroughly explain the process of the charge and ensured I understood each step. Alana consistently called to provide updates and followed up to see how I was tracking, which greatly eased my stress and kept me informed.
I also want to extend my gratitude to Jessica for her assistance with all the paperwork and her support to Alana. Her efficiency and attention to detail were much appreciated.
Overall, the team at Brooke Winter was exceptional. Their professionalism, clear communication, and dedication to achieving the best outcome were evident throughout the entire process.

From the first phone call to Brooke,which was over the Christmas break,we knew we were in good hands as he actually took our call.

Highly recommend should you need help in the future
