Client's Feedback

On behalf of all of the family I would like to express our deep gratitude for your assistance over the last nearly three years whilst my nephew's matter has been before the courts, and especially over the last few weeks leading up to, including, and now immediately after, the trial.

There is no doubt in our minds that the outstanding outcome, including the not guilty verdict in relation to the murder charge, is due to the excellent legal advice and representation you have given throughout.

Above and beyond the first class legal services you have provided, the moral and emotional support you have provided to all of us during this ordeal has been incredible. Whether it was dealing with the many questions (legal and otherwise) that any of the family had throughout the process, keeping us positive when things looked very bleak, and calming us, every time you engaged with us and my nephew, not only during the trial, was not only respectful, but sincere and realistic. You were not dismissive regarding any questions or concerns we had (and we had plenty), you did not attempt to sugar-coat the harsh realities, but engaged with us with wisdom, integrity and compassion.

Words cannot express how grateful we all are.

Susan, December 2021

I can not speak highly enough about Mr Brooke Winter always there when you need him never judges you very professional. He and his Staff are just amazing at getting the best outcome for you they are always with you in every step of the way. To Brooke and his team I thankyou and my family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts. The BEST LAWYERS TO CALL WHEN NEED HELP.

Traffic Law Client, August 2021

I am so grateful for your phone call late last night Shelby and I wanted to again thank you for checking in on me to see if I was okay. I would never have expected to receive the type of caring, compassionate and understanding phone call from a lawyer; (as throughout all our communications) and I would like you to know you had a great deal of impact last night in making me feel okay and a lot more positive; so thank you

Domestic and Family Violence Client, June 2021.

Hi Shelby, I just wanted to personally express my heartfelt thanks to you and Russell for all your hard work leading up to and during the trial. I have also personally thanked Russell in another email. You and Russell together were amazing and the defence you put forward flawless. I can never thankyou enough for the hug and words that afternoon in the car park when I lost the plot. That is what got me up the next day to face the world. Also I so appreciated all the updates when I was locked out of the courtroom. No words can express my gratitude for your tireless effort or how I feel as a mother. You brought my boy home Shelby. I will never forget what you did for him.

Criminal Law Client, June 2021

Criminal Law client, August 2021

I cannot recommend Brooke Winter and his team highly enough. We went through a very distressing time and the care and compassion given by Brooke personally was above and beyond what I believe we would have received from another solicitor. His advice and knowledge was exceptional and having been in the legal industry for some 35 years myself I can say that he is the best I have come across in his field.

Criminal Law client, May 2021

The team at Brooke Winter Solicitors are absolutely fantastic. I can not speak highly enough. They made one of the most hardest times in life alot easier, and finally got the truth a justice. From Nettie at reception, to all the team that worked on my case, they are all very good at the job they do. I'd most definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone. A massive THANK YOU.

Criminal Law Client, March 2021

Hi Shelby, I just wanted to write and say a big thank you for how you handled my hearing today and also in the lead up. While the circumstances of my charge were unusual, I had a lot at stake with my career so your textbook approach was exactly what was required and I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome. More broadly to the BW team, right from the get go when I called your office and spoke directly with Brooke and then you were allocated to my case, I knew I was in safe hands. This did a lot to reduce the stress of it all. Thanks once again.

Criminal Law Client, February 2021

I would like to thank you and your outstanding team for your support and guidance throughout the past 2 years with my daughter's intense charges she was facing. Your team walked each step with us and never felt left in the dark, we were always explained to thoroughly and educated on the up and coming court dates and advised on the best choices to take for the situation at hand.

Criminal Law Client, October 2020

I was going through a tough time in my life, caught in a toxic relationship and found myself standing in front of a judge in relation to domestic violence. Mitchell Stanbrook from Brooke Winter Solicitors represented me and he really made me feel at ease and I felt that he truly cared about my situation and that he was there to help. Rather than just providing paperwork and pleading guilty, he thoroughly analysed the case and was able to negotiate with prosecutors to drop some of the charges using case law. He really went above and beyond and I got the outcome I was after. I highly recommend Mitchell as he is a passionate solicitor; who are hard to come by.

Name Withheld – Gold Coast (22 May 2019)

Hello I thought I’d take the time to send this email through to you all, to say how much I appreciated all your help last year. I have as of now completed my court order won by you all last December – 1 year suspended sentence for my disgusting driving record. And now it is finally finished, I am a free woman. For that I thank you all again as I appreciate the second chance I was given last December. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year ahead.

Name Withheld – Gold Coast (10 July 2018)

I am so thankful that I contacted Brooke Winter Solicitors when I was in need of a lawyer. Not only did the team make me feel comfortable and safe, but the personable approach that was given to me really made me feel confident in getting an excellent result. Brooke and his team fought harder then I could have imagined to get me a positive outcome and no words could ever express my gratitude. If you’re looking for a team of solicitors that genuinely care and can put up a tough, professional fight, you have come to the right place.

Name Withheld – Gold Coast (15 March 2018)

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you both for the great work you have done on my behalf & to say how comfortable I was in your presence & process. Your professionalism & expertise from beginning to end was always obvious & much appreciated. While I won’t need this service again & hopefully don’t have any friends or acquaintances that will either, I will certainly recommend you both & your firms should the need arise. Thanks again Brooke for the best possible job & result today.
