“ Life was looking pretty grim before I met Anna and I had been taken for a ride (but not of my choosing). The support that you gave me in court was exceptional. I would recommend Ballarat Legal Resolution Services to anyone who being taken advantage of by their ex and wants the financial truth.”

I recently found myself requiring legal advice during a traumatic stage of my life and Anna was recommended to me. I found Anna to be very knowledgeable, fair and caring during the whole process. She even went out of her way to reply to my questions while she was overseas on holiday. I found her to be a good negotiator when negotiations got bogged down. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone in a tight situation. I would and will use her anytime in the future. Thanks Anna.

Anna was very professional and supportive throughout a difficult process. Communication was very clear and she was knowledgeable in navigating the legal side of things, which helped bring my matter to a resolution as quickly as possible. Anna is very direct and no- nonsense which was an approach that I really appreciated. Overall, I appreciated the outcome and the support provided during a challenging period.
