I recently found myself in a very regrettable position – after a night of heavy drinking I behaved completely out of character and found myself in trouble with the QLD Police Service. Soon after, I was connected with Trent Playford from Wallace O’Hagan Lawyers. Trent was incredible to say the least. He explained to me in detail my situation and the possible outcomes but in a manner that was calm and easy to follow. He gave me excellent advice which I am very thankful to have followed and it resulted in the best possible outcome given the circumstances. Trent’s honesty with my situation and what I had done and needed to do, was sound advice. He supported me 100% throughout the whole process. I have no doubt it would have been a very difficult journey without him and an entirely different outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Trent and Wallace O’Hagan Lawyers should you ever need them.

Whether it's a small traffic matter or serious criminal allegations, I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle it. Truely the Lawyer's Lawyer.

She is very kind and nurturing and straight to the point. If you need any help with criminal matters I highly suggest going with Emily or anyone at Wallace O’Hagan. If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would.
