Chris
I'm writing to express my appreciation for the professionalism and competence I received from Dobinson Davey Clifford Simpson over many months earlier this year in a complex family law matter. In particular I would like to acknowledge to the Society Ms Julie Dobinson whose legal skills and considered counsel saved me and my ex wife, considerable anguish and exposure. The skills of Ms Dobinson enabled a fair and very cost effective outcome for all concerned. This is reflected in the compliment paid by the Federal Magistrate.
