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.

Emily is very understanding and awesome to deal with while under pressure of pending matters. She tells it how it is and doesn't give incorrect information that could lead you into bigger situations with worse outcomes. Thanks Emily for all your assistance over the past year.

I can't speak highly enough of Emily and the team at Wallace O'Hagan. I'd give more stars if I could. Having known Emily for over 15 years she is the only lawyer I will refer my family and friends to. Professional, thorough and an exceptional knowledge and understanding of the law. 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.

I can't speak highly enough of Emily at Wallace O'Hagan Lawyers. She helped me get through a difficult court case when I panicked and was suffering from anxiety and stress. 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.
