I cannot recommend this group highly enough. The respect and courtesy they showed my homeless brother was so lovely as was the professional manner in which they communicated with us and defended him. So very grateful.

It’s always a pleasure to work with my council Damien Mahon and the rest of the Hugo Law Group team, the perfect balance of friendly professionalism and always in your corner. I cannot recommend Damien and the rest of the team enough, if you’re seeking excellent and effective council to ensure the best outcome then Hugo Law Group is the way to go!

I have had the pleasure of working with Hugo Law now on two occasions .I have found them to be exceptional in every way.There was always precise and clear instructions which helped me in both cases.I would not hesitate to refer them to any of my colleagues and friends if needed.

Scott Hales

Isha Fay represented me very well and achieved an excellent outcome. Her preparation was very thorough and exhaustive. She is proficient and professional, and corresponds very efficiently.

Salvatore Vicario

From the beginning, Isha Fay showed she was highly professional, caring and capable to take on our matter. She was understanding and provided advice even before we had an agreement to represent us. Throughout the ordeal, Isha was there to answer any questions we had, and was quick to respond to emails or phone calls. She guided us through the process, which was totally new to us, and felt we were in good hands during this traumatic process.I would like to thank Isha and the Hugo Law Group team for everything, and highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

Tyson Hardy

I am writing a review in regard to representation we received from Lindsay Stankovic.For a month, I struggled to find appropriate representation within the Hunter Valley. Each law firm that took our case let everything fall on deaf ears. Two days before the hearing and 3.5 hours away from their location within Sydney, Lindsay took on the case and prepared for it, represented my father, and was successful.Lindsay was professional, diligent, responsive, and recapped each conversation with an email. To take on a case 2 days before the hearing, despite its complexities and its 3hr distance, shows what true professionalism and commitment looks like. Lindsay is a great lawyer and I highly recommend either her, or anybody from Hugo Law Group to take on criminal matters.Great job Lindsay, you took a lot of stress of our plate and I value your work.

Sir El Markos Grdna

I have had few people believe in me as much as Lindsay and Helen as well as the team @ Hugo law group, always im forever greatful and I know they have my best interests at Heart while standing up for those like myself in the community just trying to make a life after it had been snatched away, Thankyou Always Mark G.

sam bennett

Really cannot thank Hugo Law, in particular joshua who represented me. Very good at his job and made it significantly less scary and easy to understand everything, if I ever need a lawyer in that area again, I will absolutely use him for all my needs. Can’t recommend enough.

James Murphy

Helen Christensen and Lindsay Stankovic helped me through my case over the course of a year. They both offered me outstanding advice but always left the decision to myself and never pushed me towards a plea I didn’t find to be just. They took an overwhelming amount of stress off my shoulders and made me feel as though I was part of a team even though my struggle was my own. They are a credit to their firm, the epitome of professionalism and even better people in person. If you’re going through it, feel like the walls are falling down and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, they’ll give you a flashlight and lead the way. Fantastic submission from Lindsay on the final day and life is back to normality once again. A worthwhile investment. Many thanks again.

Rebecca Kriesler and Elleni Zacharia from Hugo Law Group both took my matter very seriously, providing a priceless help and support throughout my criminal case. Always available, they linked with my family lawyer, immigration agent and barristers to help me navigate through these challenging times. Their support and professional expertise lead to a positive outcome. Thank you both.

Rebecca Kreisler represented my brother through legal aid and she was amazing! We had changed to Rebecca from a previous legal aid solicitor from a different firm who was absolutely abysmal. The difference Rebecca made with her representation was nothing short of amazing! We are all so grateful for the outcome and the support offered from Rebecca. She took the case seriously, she was thorough from start to finish, didnt miss a beat! We are so grateful and thankful for Rebecca’s representation, also her empathy, support and understanding throughout, couldnt have asked for better representation.

Rebecca, from Hugo Law Group, has my absolute highest recommendation. She helped me have the legal right to share my story returned to me – which has been a healing and empowering process. I am so so grateful. She made everything so easy – everything was done quickly and to such a high standard, there was excellent communication, and she was extremely kind and understanding throughout the entire process..

jian liu

Rebecca Kriesler was a fantastic lawyer helping me going through the darkest moment of my life recently. She was enthusiastic, professional, empathetic, understanding and supportive. We have achieved the best outcome I could imagine. I would recommend her highly to anyone.

Katie Dowling

Carol Younes was astonishingly good and the team she put together incredible. From the first time we met her, I knew we could not possibly have put our lives in better hands. I slept the best I’d slept in months after that first meeting, Carol and Lindsay were also so wonderful to our whole family during what was the worst extended period of our life. Kind but passionate lawyers, and as my son said “they are playing four dimensional chess whilst everyone else is playing tic tac toe”. I am grateful beyond words for the result, and honestly- do anything you can to have her in your corner. Thank you to the whole team from the bottom of our hearts. Katie Dowling

Leisa Maireriki

I highly recommend Rebecca Kriesler who recently represented my son regarding his bail application which was granted by the court. I found Rebecca to be personal, caring and informative. Rebecca is a true asset and an amazing lawyer and I am beyond grateful. I hope our family can continue having Rebecca represent my son until his matter is finalised.

Eszter Nagy

I was introduced to Hugo Law Group through our lawyer, Lindsay Stankovic.Hugo Law was professional in our matter however, our honours go to our lawyer in the case.I have met very few people like Lindsay Stankovic. She exceeds her value in every category. Clients will receive only the highest representation when working with her.She is a consummate professional and her work & and knowledge of matters are beyond exceptional. Not a single area in her advocacy is missed when representing you.At a time most needed, Lindsay’s empathy and regard for client outcomes is a personality trait she naturally possesses, coming as a big relief when facing a case of criminality.There is no doubt that Lindsay will leave a legacy. She slices and dices the criminal book.

Rod Dand

Damien Mahon from Hugo Law was fantastic. His advice was very considered and practical, and delivered quickly. Damien also represented my company in Court and achieved a fantastic result. Would recommend to anyone.

Scott Kelly

Helen and the team were first rate. Extremely professional and comforting throughout. Critically, they also got the result we were striving for so all round first class.

Simon Wakim

Helen Christinson from Hugo Law Group is an exceptional lawyer. Courteous and professional, she is an amazing listener who always takes the time to understand what I want to achieve and look into avenues to make this happen. After feeling unheard by my last lawyer, Helen has been a life saver. She secured the desired outcome in the best possible way and continues to assist in me repairing the damage caused from my charges, which were subsequently dismissed. She is always prepared to go the extra mile for her clients and I am grateful she is on my team.

Rowan Larkin

Stephanie Beckedahl was terrific!!! She is experienced and has intimate knowledge of the inner workings within the ACT Magistrates Court. She briefs out to quality counsel who will set you up for success on the day. Don’t waste your time going anywhere else.
