Testimonials
“Very professional law firm, at the very top of their trade. Mr Hugh Woods was very honest and upfront with all my options relating to my case and possible outcomes. He achieved an outcome which I thought was not possible. He took time with my case and went through all the specific details and his presentation in court was detailed to the last line. I would recommend him to anyone who needs assistance with a lawyer. The firm’s pricing is fair and there are no hidden costs involved. Very responsive to all enquiries for clients in a timely manner.”
“I have to say that I was very fortunate to have Woods & Co represent me with my Traffic Offence problem. I had been to other firms getting information on what I can do, but Hugh Woods was the only one who talked to me like a person and not a number. Right from the girls at reception to meeting with Hugh Woods was so extremely warm and welcoming, it was hard to believe that I was in a law firm. If you are ever in need of a Law Firm that will treat you with dignity, respect, understanding and take into account your personal financial circumstances, I strongly recommend you go see the Woods & Co Team. Thank you so much Hugh. You are a top bloke.”
