Matt was incredibly professional when dealing with my issue in court. He wasn’t judgemental and got me the best outcome possible, I was new to the law system and I struggled to understand what to do but Matt communicated with me and talked me through it. Seriously, thank you so much. You’re the best

HDC Law was recommended to me, in particular Matthew Unwin.
We were is a situation we had never been in before, a situation that could have affected our families future for the worst.
We had no understanding of the legal system, and to be honest we were terrified, until we found Matthew.
Matthew, was very responsive to my questions, extremely professional, friendly and reassuring. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of our matter and the way our case was handled. Thank you for everything you did for our family.
