Peter Anderson Director APCO

The lawyers with the conduct of my matter considered every contingency throughout the process to ensure that I was protected. I felt confident that my interests were protected. It was great to work with lawyers who are not only skilled but also approachable and easy to deal with.

Chris Scott Head Coach Geelong Football Club

Satbir and the team at Coulter Roache did an excellent job in handling my financial separation case. Satbir gave me a realistic view of what I can hope to achieve before we started and was very accurate. I was amazed at how smooth he made the whole process. In the end we got my request over the line and all parties were satisfied.
