Justin represented me in a contested custody matter. He was calm, strategic, and explained every step in plain language. Settled favourably without trial.
Took my CCMA retrenchment case from 'no hope' to a 4-month settlement package. Responsive, fair pricing, excellent communication.
I asked a question on Justibly Q&A and Justin's answer was so thorough I hired him immediately. Drafted my ante-nuptial contract in 48 hours.
Solid work on a commercial dispute. Communication could be faster during holidays, but the outcome was excellent.
