Customer's reviews

I was facing a very complicated shoplifting case that had the potential to result in a criminal conviction, which would have impacted my future. From the very beginning, Mr. Peter provided a sense of reassurance, clearly explaining my options and developing a strategy that would give me the best chance of a positive outcome. His knowledge of the law is extensive, and his attention to detail in my case was remarkable. He was incredibly proactive, always staying ahead of any developments and keeping me well-informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I was able to avoid a criminal conviction, which was a huge relief. I cannot recommend Mr. Peter highly enough. He is not only a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer but also someone who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. If you're facing any legal challenges, especially something as serious as a shoplifting charge, I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Peter. You won’t be disappointed! ~ gul a
I recently faced a high range drink driving charge, which had me extremely anxious due to the potential consequences: a three-year license loss and up to 18 months of imprisonment. Initially, I consulted a different lawyer, but instead of easing my concerns, they only heightened my fears. It wasn’t until a friend recommended Peter Tannous at The Australian Legal Practice that I finally found the support I needed. From our first meeting, Peter’s approach was reassuring and professional. He didn’t just focus on the legalities; he also provided much-needed mental support, urging me not to worry and explaining my options clearly. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, the outcome was far better than expected. I was convicted but received much lighter than the worst-case scenario I feared. Peter’s understanding and dedication were invaluable during this challenging time. If you need a solicitor who will not only handle your case professionally but also provide genuine support, I highly recommend Peter Tannous and The Australian Legal Practice. ~ Arbin G
I recently sought legal assistance from Peter at Australian Legal Practice following a car crash, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support and guidance I received. From the very beginning, Peter was compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough in explaining my rights and the legal process. He handled everything with professionalism and care—making a stressful situation much easier to navigate. He kept me updated at every stage, was always quick to respond to my questions, and made sure I understood each step we were taking. His dedication and attention to detail helped me feel confident and supported throughout the process. Thanks to Peter’s expertise, my case was resolved efficiently, and I achieved a fair and satisfactory outcome. I highly recommend Peter and the team at Australian Legal Practice to anyone in need of legal support for similar and other situations ~ Bhuwan N
