Cannot recommend Colin and his team highly enough. Through the toughest time of my life he was my lawyer, but more importantly I always felt like I had a family member with me, advocating for me. He was a steady hand, he cared for me and I really felt like he was my dad guiding me through the process and providing me support. For any women out there, as I said, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thankyou Springwood Lawyers!!!!

We had a very poor experience with Colin Smith and Springwood Lawyers. Our final bill was three to four times higher than Colin’s initial estimate, with no increase in the scope of work from what we described in our initial meeting. They were very slow preparing our final agreements, but nevertheless they were riddled with literally dozens of errors, several of which were legally significant. Based on our experience, we would strongly caution against using Colin Smith and Springwood Lawyers.

My wife and I agree, it was our lucky day when we we went to Colin Simpson to make our wills. They involved a number of complications and some family trauma. Colin was marvelous. He was friendly, understanding, knowledgeable and very thorough. We felt complete confidence with how he managed everything. We don't believe that anyone else could have given us exactly what we required as far as our wills and estate planning were concerned.

Would absolutely recommend on their honesty alone. I needed to finalise some documents for a divorce and other places were quoting high fees and having to start from the beginning. Colin listened to where I was at, quoted me, but also advised how I could do this myself in order to save money now (as a single mum) as the gains would not be received until retirement.

Like most here I was introduced to Springwood Lawyers (Emma) when my Father passed away and I became the sole executor. It was a very busy time of the year (Just before Xmas) but a call to the office and shortly thereafter I was speaking to Emma, who developed a plan to get the ball rolling on our behalf. Springwood Lawyers provide excellent service, professionalism while remaining sensitive enough to cater for our needs during a difficult time in our lives. Emma, Kate and Co could not have been more helpful. They come highly recommended not only from me but the family in general. Thanks again

If there is anyone looking for a fantastic law firm in Brisbane, i would have no hesitation in recommending Springwood Lawyers.
I was executor and beneficiary of a deceased estate and needed to find a lawyer to represent me. I was lucky enough to have Emma Sandvick at Springwood Lawyers guide me through a very difficult, emotional and frustrating period of my life.
She was professional, but at the same time understanding of my ordeal.
I had total trust in her abilities, and for thirteen long months she worked hard to achieve a successful outcome, always keeping me up to date and providing advice

When you find yourself in need of a lawyer, you want to be absolutely confident that you're not only dealing with the best, but that you're also dealing with someone you can trust. This is especially the case with family law, where you're looking to protect that which is most important to you - your family. From the very first meeting, Springwood Lawyers gave an open and honest appraisal of the matters I was seeking to resolve, likely costs, chances of success and most importantly they continually emphasised seeking resolution at the lowest possible level.
