Fisher Dore's client was charged with serious offence for a lower plea which was eventually discharged.

The Prosecution discontinued a choking offence for a plea of guilty to a lesser offence, given the delays in prosecution, and the defendant’s exemplary character, the judge ordered the defendant be discharged absolutely.

I’ve prosecuted against Nick Dore and I’m a fan of his work. If I ever needed a Defence solicitor in my corner, I’d choose him... what can I say, the man is brilliant.

My experience with the firm relates to a common law claim for compensation, in which I was represented by Brendan and Steve and their associates. They did an absolutely amazing job and it was right in the very deepest of the pandemic that they assisted me. There was a fantastic result for me and the work done by the team was "above and beyond". In the very height of the unusual circumstances of the pandemic, these lawyers continued to provide the absolute highest standard of representation. My claim for compensation was related to circumstances of a sensitive nature. And the ability of the team to be compassionate, yet professional and focused on the details pertaining to a result was again "above and beyond". Brendan, especially stands out as a lawyer who not only understands the workings of law relating to compensation but also has the ability to relate and understand and act accordingly and appropriately to ensure a good result and at the same time providing a comfortable environment for a client like myself who has a claim relating to sensitive issues. Thanks so much Brendan. And thank you Fisher Dore lawyers.

I’m so happy I chose Fisher Dore. My lawyer Hamish was outstanding, professional, courteous, transparent and reliable from minute one. I cannot praise him enough; he fought hard to get the best result and kept me notified throughout. I always felt Hamish and his team were by my side. I highly recommend Fisher Dore as I am forever grateful to them.

Extenuating circumstances led to a license cancellation due to previous criminal history. Antoinette and Tanya worked together to compile all the correspondence, facts and supporting evidence which led to my license being reinstated by the government agency. This was completed within a prompt time frame and their support through the process was outstanding. Highly recommend their services.

Tom just about had a crystal ball, he knew what was likely to happen based on prior experience. This enabled a patient strategic approach to achieve a much better outcome than expected. I am still amazed at the final result. I am extremely grateful. Tom was professional, empathetic and a realist. Tom was tactical, strategic and patient. Tom engaged expert Counsel to negotiate reduced charges, including dropping a very serious fraud charge. Tom was thorough, maintained communication to keep me updated and showed attention to detail. I now appreciate the complexities of an adversarial legal system that is under pressure and the need for an expert criminal lawyer to navigate you through the process. My advice to anyone who is about to be questioned by police or who has been charged with a criminal offence is to contact Fisher Dore. Do not give up hope, trust their expertise and accept their advice and advocacy. Thank you Tom!

I cannot express deeply enough my sincere gratitude and thanks to Mr. Gardiner and all the others within your firm who have enabled my representation in the matter which concluded today. This has been my darkest chapter and your people were the light that helped guide me through it. At all times, Mr. Gardiner was nothing short of professional and measured in his delivery of advice and in his representation. As a member of the law enforcement and defence fraternity, I am routinely exposed to legal professionals - never have I had the privilege of being supported by someone as erudite and efficient as Mr. Gardiner. I offer nothing short of my sincerest thanks for your firms support during this matter. Should I ever find myself in need to legal support, Fisher Dore will be at the forefront of my mind and I will be referring any of those who I command who require legal support to your firm as my personal recommendation. I am entirely supportive of any of the above being used for the purpose of marketing or general publication. Thank you again for your support.

From the outset Nick was wonderful in assisting my son - empathetic, positive, pragmatic and knowledgeable. He demonstrated considerable expertise in handling the matter - knowing what approach to take, and tone to adopt, with the authorities. We were delighted with the eventual outcome and couldn’t recommend Nick highly enough.
