I would not use this legal firm for anything more than a minor traffic offence. The solicitor lacked empathy, showed little interest in the case and provided poor legal advice and support.
Vanessa Svosve is an excellent lawyer. She delivers the outcome that I expected from her.
She lives up to her Motto with understanding, empathy and compassion. I strongly recommend her.
Record Breaking Result!
SCL performed the unthinkable miracle for my case. I have discussed my matter with a few lawyers and ALL of them said zero chance of winning my appeal. SCL took me on and not only did the other side conceded our appeal but we also won costs. Unheard of ever! How did we do it? First of all, believe in yourself. If you know your story and the truth, fight for it. Robert Hanson made me feel very comfortable and supported me even though our case looked weak at the start. Our barrister Wali Shukoor thought strategically outside the box. He pressed the CDPP so hard for additional evidence that were missing in the original case, that when it was provided, it proved our case that CDPP had no case at all from the start. Robert and Wali will take on your case because they believe in you and want to help you even if your chances are slim. Unlike other lawyers and barristers who will only take cases where it can help their success percentage and their reputation. Furthermore, their fees were reasonable and fixed. Any variation of agreed fees are explained thoroughly and are still reasonable compared to the other lawyers. Do not hesitate to use SCL and don’t fall for other fancy looking over priced lawyers. At SCL you are a name and not a number. You have 1 life and 1 chance, don’t risk it with anyone else.
Steven Mercael put me as ease with his professionalism and thoroughness.
Steven really knows his craft and gave me a great result.

from the initial experience with the kind admin team all the way to the lawyer team, I experienced a great service from one of the most caring law firms I have ever used. They worked hard to achieve a very good outcome and I will always be forever thankful for choosing Sydney Criminal Lawyers.
We received very poor legal advice and representation from this law firm. Our traumatic experience with them did not match the claims made on their website. Avoid them at all costs!
