A fantastic service from start to finish, a divorce which was made straight forward and simple at a time where face to face appointments were not always possible due to covid. Always quick to respond to any questions and good value for money, I would definitely recommend and use trethowans for any future solicitor requirements.

We used Zach Rooney for purchase and sale of property. He was extremely responsive (more so than any other solicitor we have ever worked with) and provided quick, common-sense solutions for a number of unexpected challenges that arose from other parties. We couldn't be happier with the counsel provided and will continue to use Zach & Trethowans in the future. 5*

Spoke to James Looi today after meeting him some time last year through networking and he was really helpful and really took the time to understand the situation and explain what happens. I have no hesitation with recommending James to anyone who may need his professional services.
