What our clients are saying

Brett Hayton has been my family solicitor for years now. He and his staff have taken care of a number of serious legal issues for me. He is professional, kind, fair. It took me months to find a fine lawyer in this area. If you want an excellent attorney, I recommend him.

Genda Extraordinaire

Brett has helped us with our neighbours over a boundary dispute. We now have a resolution within 2 months and the problem is getting fixed. I checked with other Lawyers and their costs were crazy. Brett solves the problem without the crazy legal costs. He saved us thousands of dollars. Great price for legal fees compared to the rest. Thank you Brett, will recommend you to anyone who has the same problem. Support local
