MD - April 2016

"Thank you so much for the fantastic work you did representing me in my AVO case. I am so thankful for your efforts at Sutherland Court yesterday in achieving a very successful outcome for me and having my case dismissed. After the first very time we spoke on the phone, your enthusiasm, experience and knowledge in legal matters were clearly evident. From start to finish this has been a 6 month process – throughout that period you have always been easily contactable and happy to answer any of my questions or concerns regarding my legal matter. In addition, I very much appreciated your prompt responses to my emails. The strategy you suggested from the outset of our conversations was implemented to perfection on the day of court in achieving a very successful outcome, and I could not be happier with your professionalism. Due to my inexperience with the legal system, I must admit that I consulted (both initially and to check your advice) more than one solicitor for advice on the conduct of my proceedings. In answer to my inquiries, I was effectively told that applications for AVOs could not be beaten or successfully defended. When you were informed of the advice received from other lawyers, you had no hesitation in telling me they were wrong, and that you maintained your advice that my matter could be won!!  I believe a key component of your services was your extensive experience in the Court room. On the day of court you knew exactly who the Magistrate was (and what they were like), who the Prosecutor you were dealing with was, and importantly, exactly how to best negotiate with them to achieve an excellent result for your client. I cannot thank you enough for providing me with a successful result and more importantly the vindication I so deeply wanted to achieve."

DK - September 2018

WJ - June 2023

"I engaged Gerard Mitchell for a traffic violation I was recently charged with. It was a situation that would have not only caused me to lose my livelihood, but also have made prospects of me completing my training as a pilot difficult to say the least. This was an extremely stressful time for me and it was Gerard's unwavering professionalism, experience and compassion for not only my case but me personally.  This meant that I had the utmost confidence in him and fortunately I received a very positive result. I would and have recommended Gerard to other people with only great reviews. In my opinion he is an exceptional lawyer and would encourage anyone who wants the best representation to engage him."  

PW - November 2017  

"Gerard literally saved my family from a disastrous predicament. He made a brave call on our legal situation, when the odds were against us, and he was spot on. It was quite extraordinary to watch him at work. The capable, experience lawyers I had engaged previously also stood in awe of Gerard's handling of our case."
