Bill Doogue is an outstanding and highly effective criminal lawyer. His attention to detail is impeccable.

Earlier this year my wife and I visited Sophie Parsons in her rooms at Doogue and George, lawyers. Her thorough and friendly manner put us at ease immediately. She clearly understood our needs and responded with expert guidance.
Her assistant, Olivia Boylan, promptly and ably forwarded all required correspondence to us.
We were truly fortunate in having their excellent services.

It was a fantastic experience regarding the issues that I have been experiencing.

All my problems are resolved perfectly, I really appreciate the help and support provided.

They were quick, efficient, helpful and supportive.

Codey Larkin of Doogue and George recently represented me in a criminal matter. Codey methodically worked through the details of my case, and outlined the options to proceed. Codey’s approach was able to achieve a highly desirable outcome. Throughout the process I was kept informed and Codey would respond to any questions I had in a timely manner. I would use Codey again if required…..

I strongly and confidently recommend Kate Da Costa (Criminal Defence Lawyer) and Sophie Parsons (Accredited Criminal Law Specialist /In-House Counsel) for their exceptional legal support. As a migrant with no prior legal history, facing a serious charge from a long-term relationship was a profound challenge.

My initial consultation with Kate via Zoom, followed by a visit to her Sunshine office, clearly established the case process, timeline, and financial aspects. Sophie then joined, providing expert evidence review as the in-house counsel. Their guidance throughout all court sessions, from the Magistrates' Court to the County Court, was instrumental in achieving the "not guilty" verdict after 32 months.

Kate's expertise and guidance were vital from start to end and beyond. Her commitment didn't stop after the final court day; her support extended to securing cost recovery for the first County Court trial. This dedication, rather than immediately moving to the next case, showcased a commendable client-focused approach and a remarkably caring personality. I truly appreciate the tremendous effort Kate put in.

Sophie demonstrated complete professionalism at every step. In the closing defence, I witnessed how her every word, movement, gesture, pause, and even her gaze towards the jury were enriched with significant experience and intelligence, optimized for the best possible outcome. The final closing defence was a masterclass in how much a human can excel and master what they have in control to defend a criminal case. My deepest thanks to Sophie for her exceptional work.

I found Kate and Sophie to be more than just professionals; they are genuinely caring individuals who combine heart with their expertise. Beyond their excellent service, both showed real consideration for my personal circumstances, including my son and family. Kate was always checking in, and Sophie even mentioned she couldn't stop thinking about my son in the final week of court.

The entire team, including Jennifer Woodhall (Sunshine office, Legal Assistant) and Jordan Eichstadt (CBD office, Legal Assistant), also contributed positively, providing efficient and considerate support.

Lachie Davine is great at what he does, he's patient, compassionate and he listens.
Lachie's guidance of me through an unfamiliar and stressful situation was amazing and I'll forever be grateful for his work.
In court he speaks clearly, he's agile, he'll fight for you and he knows how to navigate questions from the judge with confidence.
In the end we had a positive result out of my situation thanks to his hard work, thank you Lachie.

I had Sophie Parsons review a legal matter for me, and I was very impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. Everything was handled with great care, and the process was completely stress-free. Thanks to their thorough work, the matter was resolved with a positive outcome. I highly recommend Sophie and the team to anyone in need of dependable legal support.

Not only was my Lawyer very good at her job she was a very nice person and assisted me with genuine care

Sophie was awesome and non-judgmental. She went above and beyond to achieve a great outcome

Jon Ross represented our family member and we genuinely have the HIGHEST of praise, gratitude and respect for his skill, compassion , calm, logical and methodical handling of absolutely EVERY aspect of our matter. What Jon achieved was life changing and he guided us with great insight to get this wonderful result.

Doogue + George Defence Lawyers, are exactly what they say they are in their name. At a time in my life I felt most vulnerable, Jon Ross and his team made me feel supported, defended and heard. Their level of professionalism is impressive, but delivered in such a way as not to remove one's humanity. I received a optimal outcome, delivered with care and integrity.

I was in a very difficult situation and needed legal help with a Family Violence Intervention Order. After speaking with several lawyers and feeling disheartened, I finally found Maya George. From our very first conversation, I knew she was the right person to handle my case.

My experience with Maya was exceptional from start to finish. What stood out immediately was her compassion. She didn't just hear me; she truly listened and took in every detail of my concerns. She then laid out a clear and intelligent strategy that gave me a sense of confidence and belief for the first time.

Throughout the process, Maya proved to be both incredibly smart and genuinely heart-centred. She handled my case with the utmost professionalism and dedication, which ultimately resulted in the Intervention Order being successfully removed by the court.

Placing the welfare of my children and myself in a lawyer's hands was a daunting prospect, but I felt completely secure with Maya. If you are looking for a lawyer you can put your absolute trust in, who is brilliant at what they do while also being a wonderfully compassionate person, I cannot recommend Maya George highly enough. She is a true leader in her field.

Edward was one of the best lawyers iv came across with he has helped in so many ways including finding anger management classes for me. Very thankful for he’s great service

Good communication, office was also very easy to get to

Lawyer Una is an exceptional attorney with outstanding expertise and dedication. She demonstrates profound legal knowledge and sharp analytical skills, consistently delivering clear and practical solutions for her clients. Her communication is efficient, and she approaches every case with patience and a client-first attitude. Highly recommended for her invaluable legal assistance!

Codey’s level of expertise and knowledge has helped me tremendously and understanding my situation. He was able to potentially change the magistrate decision which could potentially have gone against me but end up working a favour due to his clear understanding of my case… his approach is very methodical but very genuine and shows clear interest in my situation, which gives the ability to achieve the right outcome.

This above is the most important factor of determining the outcome of my case but in addition always being available either by phone or email assault so we can get on top of any issues that were pending.

I cannot speak highly enough of Una Ebsworth and the outstanding legal support she provided during one of the most difficult times in my life. Facing potential charges and feeling overwhelmed, I was fortunate to have Una step in at a time when everything felt uncertain and hopeless.

From our very first interaction, Una made me feel heard, cared for, and truly understood—not just as a client, but as a person. Her calm presence, sharp legal mind, and unwavering support made an incredible difference. She handled my pre-charge engagement with professionalism and precision, ultimately leading to the charges being dropped.

Una didn’t just provide legal representation—she gave me hope and clarity when I needed it most. She was there at my lowest point, and I genuinely believe she saved me from a much darker path.

If you’re in need of someone who combines legal excellence with real compassion and integrity, Una Ebsworth is the lawyer you want by your side.
