Clients often mention getting the results they wanted with Aitken Whyte Lawyers. We are talking reduced penalties in all driving matters, as well as successful Work Licence and Special Hardship Order applications.

Special mentions go to Supreme Court of Queensland-admitted solicitors Josh Turner and Craig Bartley for their clear, practical legal advice and expertise. 

Like the rest of the team, they appear daily in Magistrates Courts and other courts across South East Queensland—confident and articulate. Membership in the Queensland Law Society also reflects their professional standing. 

Another highlight is the lawyers’ consistent support in preparing clients for proceedings, helping make the process more manageable. This extends to cost agreements and billing methods, which are disclosed upfront. 

One drawback, though, is unexpected increases in agreed fixed fees. 

Fortunately, the friendly customer support is available to offer prompt clarifications and respond to inquiries about the firm’s other services. That’s because Aitken Whyte specialises in litigation, business, and domestic violence, as well. 

Josh is extremely well-spoken, confident, and highly organised 

“I had Josh Turner represent me in my DUI matter, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the outcome. Thanks to his expertise, I received the absolute minimum penalty possible. Josh is extremely well-spoken, confident, and highly organised. Every piece of advice he gave me was clear, practical, and genuinely helpful. What could have been a daunting and stressful process was made simple and manageable because of the way he handled everything. He was also very trustworthy and professional throughout the entire experience. I felt fully supported from start to finish. I would highly recommend Josh  to anyone needing legal representation.”

Achieved a great outcome, which I actually wanted

Thanks to his dedication, expertise and skill, I achieved a great outcome which I actually wanted. I truly appreciate his efforts and highly recommend him.”

A First Tier Criminal Law Firm in Doyle’s Guide, Fisher Dore Lawyers, is a well-established name. The same applies to its lawyers, who are Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialists—one of the highest legal credentials.

Clients, meanwhile, describe them as great communicators offering genuine, expert support throughout. This covers court appearances, court recorded convictions, and applications for Work Licences and Special Hardship Orders.

We also noticed their openness to taking on complex cases, such as helping a client facing jail time for disqualified driving secure a 15-month suspension instead. In terms of costs, they’re transparent that fees are either fixed or time-based. 

However, others left midway, citing a lack of compassion or undisclosed options that could’ve sped up the process.

The upside is that their 150+ years of combined experience aren’t limited to traffic and drink driving charges. It spans assault, drug offences, manslaughter, and more, with appearances in all state courts and the High Court. 

Tom went above and beyond to see my case to its conclusion

“Tom Gardner was who represented me in a case that looked pretty much open and shut, I was going to jail. This charge was for disqualified driving, one of many over 25 years. 16 to be exact and so needless to say, even the judge on my initial court appearance told me I am going to jail. Out of the lawyers I have had in the past, tom was the only 1 that found a solution moving forward. The way he was in court and the way he represented me. Which even the judge commented on, was undeniably the only reason I am able to write this review. Tom went above and beyond for me to see my case to its conclusion and thank god he did. I walked away with a 15 month suspended sentence and my 2 absolutes from driving ever lifted. I can not recommend tom enough.  Thanks Tom for everything.”

Their expertise, compassion, and dedication made all the difference  

“I can’t recommend Fisher Dore Lawyers highly enough! They provided outstanding help and support during a very difficult situation. I had the opportunity to work with several lawyers on the team, and every one of them was exceptional. Their expertise, compassion, and dedication made all the difference. Thank you for guiding me through this challenging time with such professionalism and care!”

Those facing repeat drink driving offences, unlicensed driving matters, or random breath test issues are just some of Go To Court Lawyers’ clients. They are among the 750,000+ Australians the firm has helped. 

Included in that number are individuals who sought employment, immigration, and family lawyers or assistance with civil cases and wills. 

What stood out most to us is the team’s diligence. They immediately analyse police briefs, effectively negotiate with prosecutors, and prepare reports tailored to Brisbane Magistrates Court requirements. 

Others also get help for Work Licence applications and District Court appeals.  

Through it all, clients benefit from simple yet detailed walkthroughs and a communicative approach—plus a 24/7 hotline and fixed fees. 

That said, generic and unhelpful legal advice was reportedly given during rushed phone calls, worsened by unheard of staff turnover that confused case assignments. 

Still, the fact remains that Go To Court Lawyers is ranked as #1 Legal Service in Australia by ProductReview. 

Kept me informed throughout and made sure I understood everything

“Andy was very professional in his dealings with me and my case. He kept me informed throughout the process and made sure I understood everything that was happening. I would recommend him to anyone who needs representation in court. Jason.”

Very professional—makes you feel at ease when representing you  

“Thank you to my man Ali Rana who works for go to court lawyers. I needed someone to help me to make the judge understand my situation (overseas licence wasn’t accepted so I went to court for unlicensed driving), he walked me through my options and what may or may not happen. Very professional, makes you feel at ease when you have someone like Ali Rana representing you, I highly recommend Ali Rana from go to court lawyers. Nittesh Kumar.”

We first heard about Wiseman Lawyers on Radio Australia. Soon after, Principal Lawyer Andrew Wiseman—recognised by The Courier-Mail as a top drink driving lawyer—appeared on 9News, discussing DUI matters. 

This public recognition is echoed by clients, who praise Andrew’s efficiency and helpfulness in achieving the best outcomes. One was even able to avoid jail time; another received a two-month disqualification with no recorded conviction.

Similarly, some succeeded in obtaining work licences and resisting careless driving charges. 

Over 7,000 clients have reaped these benefits, supported by prompt, jargon-free communication and comprehensive plans. It’s therefore no surprise that Doyle’s Guide names the Wiseman team a Leading Traffic Law Firm. 

Their deep familiarity with the Brisbane Magistrates Court and criminal law specialisation is also notable. 

While generally sound, legal advice was considered too narrow by Special Hardship Order applicants, who ultimately went to a different lawyer. Free case reviews and fixed all-inclusive fee quotes help make up for it.

Achieved the best possible outcome for my low-range drink driving matter

“Andrew was extremely professional and very helpful. He achieved the best possible outcome for my low-range drink driving matter: a two-month disqualification with no conviction recorded. I’d highly recommend Andrew. Thanks for your help.”

Made the whole process easy and was always available to communicate 

“Andrew represented me at court today. Got me the best possible outcome possible. He made the whole process very easy to handle and was always available to communicate to leading up to the court date.”

True to its name, DUI Lawyer Brisbane focuses on drink driving matters (and related traffic concerns). We found the team great at it, particularly in helping clients avoid unnecessary jail time, extensive fines, and licence disqualifications.

Motorists, in particular, find the notice to appear assistance valuable in navigating court processes. 

With those outcomes, defendants and Special Hardship Order applicants rate them highly, noting that the lawyers know their craft and fight for the best possible results. One even described the firm as the best in the business. 

What’s more, they keep their services affordable, from case assessment through to negotiation and court representation—whether in the Magistrates Court or elsewhere in South East Queensland. 

This is complemented by straightforward legal advice and 24-hour availability. 

All of this goes some way toward balancing their less prominently highlighted legal credentials and limited criminal law scope, which gave us pause at first. 

Consummate professionals who will fight for the best outcome for you

“Andrew and the team are awesome. They’re across everything and really know their stuff. A group of consummate professionals that will fight for the best outcome for you.”
