My son was facing serious GBH charges and our first lawyer was a nightmare—no care, no responsibility, and pushing us to plead guilty and “hope for the best.” The only time we heard from them was when they were chasing more money. Thankfully, we got rid of them and found Wayne. Professional, sharp, with a great sense of humour—and absolutely knew his stuff. In the end, it resulted in a NOT GUILTY verdict. Thank you, Wayne. You’re hands down the best lawyer in Sydney.

After browsing for hours, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Wayne Pasterfield's website and reviews. With a court date in Sutherland in less than a week, he was able to first ease my mind and also secure an incredible result for me. I was able to keep my licence. Other lawyers and solicitors weren't willing to attempt what he achieved for me. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who needs representation willing to fight for them in Sydney. His costs were extemely reasonable as well.

I highly recommend Wayne Pasterfield for anyone in need of an outstanding solicitor in Sutherland. He is an experienced lawyer who guided me through a difficult driving charge with expertise and professionalism. Thanks to his deep knowledge of the legal system and strategic approach, I received only a bond instead of a harsher penalty. Wayne’s dedication and attention to detail made all the difference in my case. If you need a skilled solicitor in Sydney, he is definitely the one to call!

If you're seeking a top notch lawyer in Sydney, look no further than Wayne Pasterfield, located in Sutherland. When a family member needed legal assistance, I initially consulted with other solicitors but quickly realised they lacked genuine care for the outcome or the costs involved. Switching my approach, I turned to reviews and Wayne stood out with exceptional ratings. From my first conversation with him, it was clear he was a rare gem. Not only did we achieve the desired outcome but Wayne's sense of humour provided much needed relief during an incredibly stressful time.

His personable manner & well-grounded knowledge of the law had me relaxed & confident before entering the courtroom where his experience had the matter dealt with quickly, producing a result that exceeded my expectations.

I was unfortunate to be involved in a court case and I was fortunate to meet Mr. Pasterfield. As someone who had never dealt with the police, imagine my helplessness and fear. I was recommended some solicitors by friends who either sounded unreliable or were asking for a lot of money. I found Mr. Pasterfield in the internet and contacted him after seeing his great reviews. It was his analysis of the case and his insight that made me feel comfortable, so I chose him after some independent thinking, and I was right. His sharp professional perspective and rich experience unexpectedly convinced everyone, and got rid of my problem. Mr. Pasterfield is a straight to the point person, although not too much rhetoric, but put yourself in his safe hands will bring you a pleasant surprise. No amount of words can express the trust placed in him. He deserves more stars.

Sydney lawyer Wayne Pasterfield gave me expert guidance on how to present 'myself' before Sutherland Court concerning a speeding fine through a 'School Zone' which resulted in 'No Conviction Recorded'. This meant no fine and no license demerit points lost by me. Thanks Wayne for your much appreciated solicitor help in this matter. You are a gem!

Mr Wayne Pasterfield has successfully represented my son over the last 2 years. I have found that Wayne professionalism and knowledge was at at the highest standard, and at all times kept me informed, and has explained the process which at time had me confused and fustrated. Both charges were eventually dismissed and my son is now moving forward with his life and career. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Wayne in representing anyone that requires legal advise.

Wayne was recommended to me when I needed a lawyer. I met him in his office in Sutherland, Sydney and his passion for his job and his empathy for his clients came shining through. To quote his words, he said “this is not your problem now, it’s mine”. He had me laughing, at ease and comfortable every step of the way and most importantly he won my case. As a bonus his fees were much lower than anticipated. If you need a solicitor in the Shire, Wayne is the only person you need to consider. He’s an absolute legend.

I found myself in need of legal advise for the first time in my life. I didnt know of any solicitors or I didnt have any recommendations from anybody.

I came across Wayne Pasterfield on google and was some what sceptical of the high rating reviews, at first.

On speaking to Wayne on the phone for the first time I could tell he was the real deal. Wayne was familiar and had a great rapport with everyone in the court and a confidant manner before the court.

Wayne provided me with sound legal advise from the beginning and got me the best possible outcome for my case, for a very reasonable fee. I now know for sure all the previous reviews are genuine, from my experience and I highly recommend Wayne Pasterfield as a lawyer and a good bloke.
