Best legal advice and approach to my complex parenting matter. Since speaking with over 15-20 solicitors within the past 3 years , the expertise and response to legal questions were far better than others. Straightforward and worth every cent. Thankyou
Sara, 2025
I had to draft a new will after a family shift, and the legal jargon stressed me out. But the expert here explained everything in plain English. Fast, smooth process. Super friendly. Honestly, making something scary feel manageable.
Michael, 2025
When my small business got hit with a contract dispute, I felt like I was drowning. I reached out here, not expecting much, but they jumped in right away. My legal rep understood the commercial side, not just the law. We settled out of court and I saved thousands. What stood out was how human and real they were, not robotic. I’d happily send any fellow business owner their way. Thanks

UPDATE – Case was dismissed. Best possible result. Thanks for the advice JustinI engaged Strategic lawyers to assist with a matter for my business, I had an appointment with Justin. We came to a mutual agreement prior to appointment setting clear expectations on the process of the appointment. When entering the office the receptionist Shaun was spot on with customer service making a some what confronting experience (first time at a lawyers office) feel comforting and easing nerves.
I then had my consultation with Justin. I feel as if Justin has provided me beneficial and supportive advice to assist me in my matter for my business. Justin outlined some key points which I believe will support my case and be of benefit. I will happily engage again for any matter that is required in the future.
Shannon, 2025
Last year, I needed urgent advice after being falsely accused of a driving offense. It was overwhelming. I contacted the team here late one evening, expecting voicemail, but to my surprise, I actually spoke with someone who took me seriously. The lawyer I worked with was professional, detailed, and didn’t sugarcoat anything. I appreciated the honesty. Throughout the court process, I felt supported, informed, and, most importantly, believed. The charges were dropped eventually, and I genuinely credit their preparation for that result. Legal troubles can make you feel isolated, but I never felt alone during the process. Highly recommend it if you need solid criminal defense help!!!
Owen, 2025
I met with Justin Ireland, The Principal of Strategic Lawyers to discuss a family law case.
Immediately I felt comforted and reassured that I was going to be treated equally and not be discriminated against for being a man, for being a father. I did my due diligence visiting many other legal firms and was absolutely disgusted by the way I was received and treated by some of them. My visit with Strategic Law was pleasant and Justin was open and honest about how I would be represented. I felt his firm would back me personally, not be bias nor get emotionally tangled up in the opposing party’s deceptions. I believe Strategic Law hold Honourable values and operate with the utmost integrity. I would recommend them to all people. I personally will be employing their services in the near future.
Owen, 2025
I can’t thank Strategic Lawyers Townsville and the team enough for all of their help throughout the case. Their knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Despite our delays, they worked extra hours on their own time to get things done. I felt they truly wanted the best outcome for us, which we achieved. Thanks for not just meeting our expectations but exceeding them too!
Avery, 2023
I couldn’t have asked for a better result or service from a local lawyer. Strategic Lawyers Townsville was extremely professional and helpful in assisting me with my legal issues. They went above and beyond to represent me and negotiate with all parties to ensure the best result for me and my partner. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone in the area!
Reese, 2023
Our first appointment left us in no doubt that we had chosen the right lawyer. Justin listened to our problems, gave us options on what to do next and an estimate of the costs involved. He was courteous, knowledgeable and engaged. The girls on reception were very helpful and cheerful too. A very positive experience for us in difficult times.
