I was facing a very complicated shoplifting case that had the potential to result in a criminal conviction, which would have impacted my future. From the very beginning, Mr. Peter provided a sense of reassurance, clearly explaining my options and developing a strategy that would give me the best chance of a positive outcome.

His knowledge of the law is extensive, and his attention to detail in my case was remarkable. He was incredibly proactive, always staying ahead of any developments and keeping me well-informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I was able to avoid a criminal conviction, which was a huge relief.

I cannot recommend Mr. Peter highly enough. He is not only a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer but also someone who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. If you're facing any legal challenges, especially something as serious as a shoplifting charge, I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Peter. You won’t be disappointed!

I recently faced a high range drink driving charge, which had me extremely anxious due to the potential consequences: a three-year license loss and up to 18 months of imprisonment. Initially, I consulted a different lawyer, but instead of easing my concerns, they only heightened my fears. It wasn’t until a friend recommended Peter Tannous at The Australian Legal Practice that I finally found the support I needed.

From our first meeting, Peter’s approach was reassuring and professional. He didn’t just focus on the legalities; he also provided much-needed mental support, urging me not to worry and explaining my options clearly. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, the outcome was far better than expected.

I was convicted but received much lighter than the worst-case scenario I feared. Peter’s understanding and dedication were invaluable during this challenging time.

If you need a solicitor who will not only handle your case professionally but also provide genuine support, I highly recommend Peter Tannous and The Australian Legal Practice.

Very unprofessional. I had met with one of the staff who gave me an initial consultation pending my motor vehicle incident. After providing the details and information of the incident, they seemed positive in the assessment of an outcome of the case. I enquired about the how much the costs would be and the payment options for moving forward. They informed me they would get back to me by the end of the week as Peter their principle was in court and busy. I have heard nothing and until I called back to ask what was happening on the 2nd week, I was informed by the receptionist that Peter does not accept and would not provide a reason why. Fairly upsetting and unfair way to be treated and have your time wasted like this.

EDIT: Clearly if you took the fraction of time over the two weeks to care about a potential client who asked "Do you have any payment plans or options?" and you simply responded "No, we don't unfortunately have any payment plans or options due to (so and so). Please let us know if you would like to still continue" - We probably be working together right now solving the bigger problem. But sure, this FREE consultation resulted in both a waste of your time and mine.

Very unprofessional and rude. Would not recommend, went in person and was appalled at how they treated me. Find a lawyer that cares for you not for your money.

Edit: Your response is a cop out to deflect the issue. You know exactly who I am. People should stay away from these lawyers , I have made reviews in the past, I am a real person that has had a shocking experience with your firm. Unprofessional!

Was a customer here a while back, and the service and communication I received was good and helpful. Several years later I hired a different law firm to do a similar thing, and they charged much less than what Peter did. Also, the subsequent lawyer I hired had a law degree from a well respected university, not just a diploma of law, which raises questions as to why Peter charged so much more than them.
