Probably the most responsive lawyer out there in Sydney! John and Meredith did a stellar job in helping me settle a prolonged building defects case in the most cost-effective way. What a relief for me! John is also very well connected in the building industry and he was able to help me connect with relevant experts for my matter. Thank you very much John and Meredith, I would recommend Contracts Specialist to anyone looking for good legal service.

I was in the middle of a Variations dispute with my builder when I
called John for help. Very efficient response time and highly
satisfactory result. I strongly recommend John to anyone who needs
a residential construction lawyer.
I'd probably be in a bind right now if I hadn't had my contract
reviewed before the start of my major home reno
project. Construction Lawyer Brisbane helped me avoid risks that
would've cost me an arm and a leg.
