Snedden Hall & Gallop

Charlene Barriga is extremely capable and gave me some really good advice about motor vehicle accident injury. She's also really nice and really care about her clients. She's enthusiastic and goes the extra mile to help clients.

From my first call to SHG the staff were responsive and friendly and after meeting with Craig Painter we felt supported.
For us, our legal issues were complicated and highly emotive, Craig was understanding of our circumstances and reassuring around the legal processes.
Craig offered sound advice and worked hard to resolve our legal issues.
I was extremely pleased with the outcome that we achieved that would not have been possible without Craigs professional advice and guidance.
I would highly recommend Craig Painter and the team at SHG to anyone with complex legal issues that need to be resolved in an efficient and professional manner.

I engaged this company (specifically Mr. Craig Painter) in relation to a fraud case. I made the decision because of the number of good reviews here. Unfortunately,. it was a really bad decision.
Mr. Painter, in his advice to me (relating to a case of fraud), made an error of over $33,000. That was, in his written advice.
When I pointed out the error, Mr. Painter stated: "although nothing hinges on this" - wrong. My confidence in his attention to the case hinged on it.
He promptly "corrected it". Unfortunately, his "correction" was also wrong, as he wrote the USD equivalent. So, now he provided me with a document mixing currencies without specifying so. Again, not really trust-inducing.
So, I am in the situation where I paid about $1k for 1.5 pages of advice from a Special Counsel, and there is mathematical proof that the advice is not correct on a really basic level. Fraud case first issue: how much was the damage?
I am not sure about others, for me:
If the lawyer cannot even figure out what the damage in the case was, I have zero faith in their ability to handle anything. We're talking 2nd grade arithmetic here. Also, who mixes currencies in a document without specifying so, in a "correction" none-the-less?
Others seem to have had better experiences. If they are genuine or otherwise, I cannot tell. If Mr. Painter decides to contest my statements here, I am happy to upload screenshots ;)

Excellent lawful firm with professional helpful staff.
The lawyers there have a great deal of experience which gives clients a great deal of confidence. I would personally highly recommended Snedden, Hall & Gallop.

With a recent issue with our fitout for our new business, I got on the phone with a lawyer, Allistar, straight away. He gave me very sound advice and helped avoid a possibly unnecessary lawyer appointment. If things do progress adversely, I would have no hesitation to book in to see him and would be confident that they would handle the situation well.

I recently had a successful settlement claim through this firm with Craig Painter. Craig was professional, friendly and sympathetic to my situation. Craig provided sound and prompt advice throughout the process. Hi attitude towards my situation ensured that I was comfortable in what I would consider quite an uncomfortable process.
Thank you Craig.

Highly recommended!
Charlene Barriga from Snedden Hall & Gallop took on my driving charge case 2 days days before I was due in court. I was going to self represent, but the stress got too much and Charlene was more than happy to help, even with short notice. I highly recommend her and SH&G and would like this opportunity to also thank her (again) for my marvelous outcome, she exceeded my expectation and went above and beyond. She worked with me, my character references, my doctors statement and helped me write a plea which was so crystal clear that the judge on the day had no further questions. Charlene Barriga and SH&G really work with you, and do whatever it takes to make sure they are representing you properly! 5/5
