⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I highly recommend Zoe from Arthur Law to anyone seeking a professional and dedicated criminal solicitor. From our first conversation, Zoe immediately stood out for her approachable manner and clear communication. She took the time to listen without judgment, explained complex legal matters in plain language, and ensured I understood every step of the process.

Throughout my case, Zoe was consistently responsive, supportive, and thorough. Her professionalism and commitment gave me confidence during a very challenging time. Thanks to her expertise and hard work, my matter achieved an excellent outcome before the court.

I am extremely grateful for Zoe’s time, dedication, and guidance, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

I’m so grateful to Martin and the team at Arthur Law for their incredible help with my case. They were professional, honest, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible result. I always felt supported and well-informed throughout the process, and their calm approach made a very stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone needing strong, compassionate legal representation.

I can’t thank Martin and the team at Arthur Law enough for their exceptional support and professionalism. From the very first meeting, they treated me with respect, understanding, and genuine care. They explained everything clearly, guided me through every step of the process, and were always available when I needed reassurance or advice.

Their knowledge and attention to detail made a difficult time much easier to handle. I highly recommend Martin and Zoe to anyone needing skilled and compassionate representation in criminal matters.

Highly recommend +. Martin got me a fantastic result, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of service recieved. He was organised, well-spoken, confident without being arrogant, & tactful. Would absolutely use again in future should I have the need. Thanks Martin.

I recently had Zoe Whetham represent me in court due to a drink driving charge. I was very much pleased with the outcome of the court case.
Zoe was extremely helpful, kind and patient with me as I had a lot of questions and concerns regarding the situation i was in.
I would highly recommend Zoe as a very professional lawyer to any person in need of legal service. 5 stars.

I had the pleasure of working with Zoe Whetham from Arthur Lawyers on a legal matter, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Zoe was outstanding in how she managed the information—clear, thorough, and always communicated in terms I could easily understand. She was genuinely pleasant to speak with and made the entire process feel well-supported.

Zoe also recommended a barrister David Quinn who was perfectly suited to my situation, and together they achieved the outcome I was hoping for. At no point did I feel pressured or uncomfortable in my decision-making—Zoe ensured I felt confident and informed every step of the way.

Highly recommend Zoe and the team at Arthur Lawyers for anyone needing professional, empathetic, and effective legal support.

I was facing a traffic offence and started my search for a solicitor. I wanted and needed someone who could best represent me - as would anyone. From the first point of contact Arthur Law, Zoe in particular, were very prompt in their response. Zoe was very thorough throughout the process. She explained everything, followed up, and was compassionate and supportive which made the whole process a lot easier to deal with. I highly recommend Arthur Law - Thank you Zoe.

I got the best service from the solicitor you could ever get. She was straight to the point. She won the case, and it was a hard case to win. I was pleading not guilty to a mobile phone offence.

Hi John, thanks so much for your kind words for Zoe!

Zoe represented me for a traffic matter. She was very friendly, understanding, and compassionate. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand and was patient in answering any questions I had. She kept me updated regularly throughout the process and was punctual in her communication. I am very glad to say that we achieved the desired outcome and I can now drive again. I could not have done this without Zoe, I highly recommend her!

Zoe is a very responsible lawyer. She accompanied me during the dark six months. She sincerely helped me solve my difficulties, answered all my questions accurately and quickly, and helped me solve everything before the hearing began. Finally, the court dropped the two charges against me. She treated me like a friend, and even after the case was over, she still cared about my life. I was lucky to meet her.

I was recommended to W&Co Lawyers and was very privileged to have the services of Zoe Whetham after discussing my case.
That recommendation was 100% perfect.
Zoe was so proficient in every way with no stone unturned to make sure I received the finest outcome in my case and that she did.
It's a 10 star 🌟 from me and I thoroughly without a single doubt recommend W & Co Lawyers.
Thank You Zoe.

Martyn Vasquez BEST lawyer I've ever had very thorough very professional I can't thank him enough for ALL his hard work. I highly recommend him

I would highly recommend Zoe from Arthur Law! She is a gun!

She isn't like alot of Lawyers out there that charge an arm and a leg, her fees are very reasonable and you can tell that she isn't in her field just for the money.

She is kind and caring, takes as much time as it takes to explain things to you every step of the way, is respectful and approachable and you can tell she is passionate and takes great pride in her work.

She has one of the best legal minds going around.

I recently had Zoe represent me when I was facing a Jail sentence and somehow she managed to get me a result that I didn't think was possible!

Some months later I had the unfortunate need to use Zoe' s representation again in a criminal matter.

After recommending a local barrister due to the complexity of the matter Zoe was able to help secure an excellent result. Not guilty on all charges.

Zoe maintained regular contact throughout the matter and her costs were very reasonable making the whole process so much more manageable.

Once again thank you so much Zoe you certainly are a lifesaver!

Response from the owner 02:36 09 May 24

Hi Ash, we are so glad you were happy with your outcome and our services. Thanks for taking the time to recommend us to others, we really appreciate it!

I would highly recommend Zoey Whetham and her team of professionals. It’s so rewarding to find a person in Zoe's field that understands the law to the fullest extent but treats you as a human and not just a number. Nothing was to troublesome for this person. I thank you again Zoey, for your professionalism, compassion and a remarkable outcome.
Regards, Richard M.

Martin was easier the best lawyer I've dealt with. Always replied promptly and got all my charges thrown out. Recommend him to anyone as the best I've ever had. Took so much stress off my shoulders.

Zoe was very friendly and understanding from our first phone conversation which is what originally persuaded me to hire her over the others I called. Very profession person and I was provided with great reference materials and advice that aided us to form a good legal defence. I also felt very well represented in court. I wish the firm a prosperous future and I would happily hire again, but hopefully won't need too.

Cheers.

Hi,

I was going through a tough time with some family matters that ended up in court.

I got in contact with Zoe after finding her business posted on the internet. She was very clear, easy and professional to talk to about the matter and helped me with any questions, worries or concerns i had as well as legal advice i was needing.

I couldn't reccomend using her enough.

If you need a lawyer give Zoe a call she's great.
