Doogue + George Defence Lawyers Anmeldelser 

Desporate with only three days before my next court appearance, I began too make some calls to find a new lawyer to represent me.

Other firms with 'apparently' 4-5 star ratings, didn't even bother getting back to me.

I initially spoke to Holly Boylan at this firm and she understood fully the predicament I was in.

The following day, I met with my lawyer too be, Lachie Davine.

Immediately Lachie got to work with my file and prepping my case.
No time was wasted.

Lachie explained everthing to me so that I could understand.

Even when I called the day before court, Lachie was there for me.

I began to feel at ease.

On the morning of my court appearance, I met with Lachie at his office for some more talks.
We then walked to the courts together which was very assuring for me.

Once at the courts, Lachie got down to it.

Negotiating with prosecutors and fixing what my previous lawyer didn't come prepared to do.

That was all out of the courtroom.

In the courtroom was even better.

The prosecution were adamant for a jail sentence which was looking possible.

Lachie and the prosecutor were having it out. If I wasn't so concerned about the outcome😥,it was highly entertaining to watch...lol

The hearing went on longer than it was allocated for.

Lachie didn't cave and just kept fighting, considering I haven't alway's been a good boy 🙄

I walked away with an outcome Im wrapped with.

From the word go, Lachie worked hard and didn't stop to the end.

I got my bang for buck and a hard working, passionate, talented lawyer that actually really works for the best outcome.

I would without any hesitation recommend Lachie to anyone.
You wont be sorry.

Not forgetting to mention his team at Doogue + George, he couldn't of done it without them.

Thank you so much 😊

This firm is the real deal.

Keep up the great work you guys.

You've genuinely earned your stars 👍

Annamiek Van Loon was the lawyer assisgend to my case and made what was a stressful time a little easier. She was very professional and up front with the information she provided me and made herself availiable at anytime if I needed any further information.

The legal fees were spelled out to me early and there were no suprises.

I recommend Annamiek to anyone who is in the need of a professional lawyer as she will do her best to get the best result possible.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Doogue+George layer Avi Furstenberg for representing me in what was arguabily the worst period in my life,I could have lost my job & my carrier.I didn't have any idea about legal proceedings,from start you assured me that everything will work out favourably.Thankyou so much for your time and effort spent on negotiating with the prosecutor for diversion and also trying to keep me calm throughout this period.And also I would like to thank paralegal Olivia Boylan for coordinating and arranging appointments without disturbing my work and day to day activities.
I will forever grateful for your support gave me throughout whole process.

Maya is great. Upon first meeting her in the office, I knew I wanted her as my lawyer. There was something about her that made me feel comfortable and at ease. She is very professional, open and honest.

Fees were not her main goal unlike other companies I had spoke to previous to finding Doogue & George. She truly wanted to help.

She gave much appreciated advice on options I had, was empathetic and patient taking the time to explain many things I didn’t understand.

Maya kept me updated with how the case was going and always responded.
There was one appearance in court she couldn’t make so she organised Edward to appear in her place and he was exceptional as well.

I honestly can’t thank her enough for all her hard work, time and effort she put into my case that ended in the best possible outcome.

I cannot speak highly enough about Jon Ross at Dougue George! This was hands down one of the best service experiences I've ever had. Jon is an absolute professional who truly cares about his customers and it shows in every interaction.

From the moment I walked in, Jon made me feel welcomed and valued. He took the time to really listen to my needs, asked all the right questions, and provided expert advice that was tailored specifically to my situation. His knowledge and expertise are clearly top-tier, but what really sets him apart is his genuine passion for helping people and delivering outstanding results.

Jon's attention to detail is incredible - nothing was overlooked, and he made sure everything was perfect before completion. His communication throughout the entire process was fantastic - he kept me informed every step of the way, responded quickly to any questions I had, and was always friendly and approachable.

The quality of work exceeded my expectations in every way. Jon went above and beyond what was required, delivering results that were better than I could have imagined. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and genuinely cares about customer satisfaction.

What impressed me most was Jon's integrity and honesty. He provided transparent pricing, realistic timelines, and delivered exactly what he promised - no surprises, no disappointments. In today's world, this level of trustworthiness is rare and incredibly refreshing.

The entire team at Dougue George should be proud to have someone like Jon representing their business. He's a true asset and the kind of person who makes you want to become a loyal customer for life.

I will absolutely be returning for any future needs and have already started recommending Jon to friends and family. If you're looking for exceptional service, expertise, and someone who genuinely cares about doing things right, look no further than Jon Ross at Dougue George.

Thank you Jon for an absolutely fantastic experience - you've set the bar extremely high!

100% recommended - couldn't be happier

Annamiek from Doogue & George was amazing in the way she handled my matter. She was upfront with costs and the possibilities of success. Annamiek was thorough with her communication during the whole process. She listened to all my views/beliefs and acted appropriately. My outcome in the end was a success and is testament of Annamiek’s and her team’s efforts. Thank you Peter

Maya was amazing and supportive throughout the whole process. I could not recommend your firm more highly.

I had the privilege of working with Sophie from Doogue + George, she provided exceptional legal representation, clearly explaining the court process and guiding me with expertise and dedication. Her effective advocacy led to a successful case outcome. I highly recommend her for reliable and professional legal support.

Jon Ross my lawyer guided me through a very stressful and difficult process to achieve the best possible result. I would recommend the firm to others if they find themselves in need of legal representation. Jon’s approach was careful and measured, including engaging a professional counsellor that assisted me personally and helped provide submissions to the court that assisted in the positive outcome. I couldn’t imagine going through this process without the expert guidance Jon provided.

Bill Doogue is an outstanding and highly effective criminal lawyer. His attention to detail is impeccable.

Earlier this year my wife and I visited Sophie Parsons in her rooms at Doogue and George, lawyers. Her thorough and friendly manner put us at ease immediately. She clearly understood our needs and responded with expert guidance.
Her assistant, Olivia Boylan, promptly and ably forwarded all required correspondence to us.
We were truly fortunate in having their excellent services.

Cosette and Sophie were very professional. The compassion shown by Cosette during an extremely difficult time was gratefully appreciated. Even though the outcome was not what we hoped, I would highly recommend them to be on your team.

I got a really good result at court my lawyer was so humble and punctual I recommend Doogue +George for anyone wanting there matter dealt with professionally

We Used Ed and had a positive outcome . The barristers that were recommended by the firm were professional

It was a fantastic experience regarding the issues that I have been experiencing.

All my problems are resolved perfectly, I really appreciate the help and support provided.

They were quick, efficient, helpful and supportive.

Codey Larkin of Doogue and George recently represented me in a criminal matter. Codey methodically worked through the details of my case, and outlined the options to proceed. Codey’s approach was able to achieve a highly desirable outcome. Throughout the process I was kept informed and Codey would respond to any questions I had in a timely manner. I would use Codey again if required…..

I strongly and confidently recommend Kate Da Costa (Criminal Defence Lawyer) and Sophie Parsons (Accredited Criminal Law Specialist /In-House Counsel) for their exceptional legal support. As a migrant with no prior legal history, facing a serious charge from a long-term relationship was a profound challenge.

My initial consultation with Kate via Zoom, followed by a visit to her Sunshine office, clearly established the case process, timeline, and financial aspects. Sophie then joined, providing expert evidence review as the in-house counsel. Their guidance throughout all court sessions, from the Magistrates' Court to the County Court, was instrumental in achieving the "not guilty" verdict after 32 months.

Kate's expertise and guidance were vital from start to end and beyond. Her commitment didn't stop after the final court day; her support extended to securing cost recovery for the first County Court trial. This dedication, rather than immediately moving to the next case, showcased a commendable client-focused approach and a remarkably caring personality. I truly appreciate the tremendous effort Kate put in.

Sophie demonstrated complete professionalism at every step. In the closing defence, I witnessed how her every word, movement, gesture, pause, and even her gaze towards the jury were enriched with significant experience and intelligence, optimized for the best possible outcome. The final closing defence was a masterclass in how much a human can excel and master what they have in control to defend a criminal case. My deepest thanks to Sophie for her exceptional work.

I found Kate and Sophie to be more than just professionals; they are genuinely caring individuals who combine heart with their expertise. Beyond their excellent service, both showed real consideration for my personal circumstances, including my son and family. Kate was always checking in, and Sophie even mentioned she couldn't stop thinking about my son in the final week of court.

The entire team, including Jennifer Woodhall (Sunshine office, Legal Assistant) and Jordan Eichstadt (CBD office, Legal Assistant), also contributed positively, providing efficient and considerate support.

Lachie Davine is great at what he does, he's patient, compassionate and he listens.
Lachie's guidance of me through an unfamiliar and stressful situation was amazing and I'll forever be grateful for his work.
In court he speaks clearly, he's agile, he'll fight for you and he knows how to navigate questions from the judge with confidence.
In the end we had a positive result out of my situation thanks to his hard work, thank you Lachie.

I had Sophie Parsons review a legal matter for me, and I was very impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. Everything was handled with great care, and the process was completely stress-free. Thanks to their thorough work, the matter was resolved with a positive outcome. I highly recommend Sophie and the team to anyone in need of dependable legal support.

Not only was my Lawyer very good at her job she was a very nice person and assisted me with genuine care
