YOUR MATTER. OUR FOCUS.
At Strategic Lawyers we’re all about innovation. All of the law’s great traditions have tended toward law firms with a very old-school mentality. Not here. We’re all about creativity, challenge, innovation, and stretching the limitations of what we can achieve for our clients and for ourselves. We have a culture of encouragement and development, creativity and innovation, and all this to provide better, more cost-effective, fixed-fee legal services to our clients. And our clients love it. Take a look at our Testimonials page and you’ll see just how much our clients love the work we’re doing and particularly the certainty of cost that we bring to the table through our Fixed Fee Quoting system. And if you’re an entrepreneurial lawyer whose keen to try new things and deliver legal services in dynamic, interesting and creative ways, then get in touch with me. I believe in the great work that lawyers do in society – it’s often under-valued and under-appreciated. But we’re conflict resolvers, deal makers, and advocates. It’s a critically important role. And there’s never been a better opportunity for lawyers to recreate and redefine what we do than right now. So I look forward to working with you, whether as a client or as a colleague.

Strategic Lawyers was recommended to me by a close friend and I was extremely happy with my experience. I first met with Justin to discuss my family law matter then I began to also work with Rob. Both gentlemen were extremely professional, thorough and supportive in their roles, keeping me constantly updated on the progress of my matter. I would recommend Strategic Lawyers to everyone requiring assistance with family law matters. Thank you to the team at Strategic Lawyers 🙂

I would highly recommend using Strategic Lawyers if you need representation in Townsville. I was represented by Anthony Sturgeon, and from the first consult till the closing case I felt comfortable and guided through the whole journey. My case was a criminal matter and having had no prior encounters of this nature I was very overwhelmed by the situation. Anthony is very professional and attentive to all your needs, especially when dealing with the law for the first time. Thanks to everyone at the firm.

Ben Watt and the team at Strategic Lawyers, went above and beyond to help my son and I. As such we were rewarded with a positive outcome. Can’t thank the team enough for their time, attention to detail and most of all their concern for our matter. Excellent service provided by all.

If you want a team of lawyers totally committed to your case, look no further. Their track record is great. They always get good outcomes for me and I always feel like I have great legal representation with them. They definitely communicate with me better than other law firms out there, and they take the time to listen to what I have to say and for me to get my story out in full. They’re not just interested in a pay check – they definitely care about me, my case, and my success. I definitely highly recommend these guys as they always achieve great results for me no matter what the case.
