I have engaged the services of Louise Mathias on numerous occasions, and she has helped me handle complex cases to their conclusion. Throughout that time, Louise has been professional, passionate and thoroughly involved, helping to alleviate much of the stress I felt in a particularly stressful situations. Aside from assisting in the general duties of appearing in court for mention, interim and final hearings she has also helped me prepare affidavits. Louise is an excellent Barrister, who I feel is truly instrumental in a determining successful outcome to the cases we handle together. I would happily recommend Louise to any Solicitor and client who finds they have a complex family matter they are handling.

Mr H. R, Criminal Client
From the first moment of meeting Louise, I felt completely at ease with her. She was welcoming and friendly, which made me comfortable. In all of my dealings with Louise, she remained non judgmental and forthright with information and requests. Although time restricted, she diligently explored every option available, whilst efficiently building a case that would get the best possible outcome for me. Louise has a confident presence in Court, displaying tremendous knowledge of the Law and Court proceedings. She was proficient, assertive and concise when presenting my case. I could not have received a more favourable result. I was always impressed by Louise’s professionalism and commitment and would have no hesitation in recommending her for whatever legal issues that arise.
