James Ballantyne
Fantastic service, dealt with my issue very quickly and gave me an honest and realistic explanation as to what my options were to manage my expectations. Then once I'd decided what to do they acted immediately, and my matter was settled (positive outcome) and I'd received compensation within a few days. Couldn't be happier.
We had just bought our first home, everything settled without issue- however when we moved in we were faced with issues which should have been fixed prior that was not reported by the property manager we had looking after the house whilst we were renting it out prior to moving in. There was months of back and forth correspondance, thank god for Sidnee Jennings.
Very impressed with the responsiveness and expert advice that James and his team provided on some recent time sensitive commercial matters.
James and his team are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. James has helped my clients on numerous occasions and they have been very impressed with his assistance. I would definitely recommend James and his fantastic team for all your Commercial Property and Estate Planning legal matters.
