“You expect your lawyer to be professional and an expert in their field, but when you work with the team at Davenports Law, you know they have taken the time to get to know you and make sure you understand what is the best way to proceed for your situation.”

Kathryn Dunn - Spruik

“Feeling very nervous about the mediation, I shouldn’t have worried. They had my back completely and made me so comfortable, that I actually remembered most of what I should have. Not normal for me in these circumstances. Thanks guys. You are outstanding in your field.”

Gayle Aspden

"Every experience with the firm has been really positive. In this latest dealing with Bronwen she assured me at the outset that opposing counsel had quite a reputation - but no match for her. She was right. But in the loveliest way. I hoped for solid and professional advice. I got all that as well as empathy, strength, really good judgement, but also the feeling of a problem shared. I am very grateful to Bronwen for achieving the best possible outcome."
