I’ve been represented by Anthony Maselli the past couple of months and I’ve never been so thankful, Anthony is very professional and gets your case sorted, always ensures and looks for the best outcomes that benefits you . He shows so much respect and doesn’t judge, he stays up to date with the court case and is very organised and keeps you updated prior to your court date to ensure to you’re still in the loop.
If you’re looking for a lawyer I 100% recommend Anthony as I wouldn’t have gotten the outcome or been or I was today without being represented by him.

Can not thank he and his firm enough for what they have done for me.

have been represented by Anthony Maselli from James Dowsley and Associated a couple of times over the past few years. Anthony is a very professional and focused legal representative who always showed me curtesy and respect and did not judge me or my personal situation but rather listened attentively and acted in my best interests. Anthony was always well organised, up to date and relevent with my case, was straight to the point, didnt use technical lawyer mumbo jumbo and on every occasion

I can honestly say Anthony Maselli at JDL has since day one of speaking with him not only delivered with everything he has assured me but also been someone I can contact when I need his opinion in relation to any of my matters. Anthony has gone above and beyond in helping me out during a very stressful time. Anthony, always has time and is someone I can trust to give me a honest down to earth opinion of what is going on. Anthony not only has been fantastic to me but also keeping my family (mother) fully up to date and informed with anything that is happening.
Anthony definately genuinely cares

Thankyou Anthony Masselli, for your patience, and persistence with "taking the stress off me", by shouldering my burden through to the end - to an inevitable "Win". I feel fortunate and blessed, that you were on my team and not against me....Honestly, I thought my pushy, ignorent, buff and rude opposition may have be inclined resist any requests - End game resulted in Mr. Anthony "Finesse" Masselli proving to be a true gentleman; professionalism 2nd to none. Anthony has a calm disposition and he's a natural at seeing the facts; he is an exceptional judge of character and his confidence does certainly

Anthony Maselli is AMAZING! I am so pleased with the outcome of my court case. Even though you were busy and you had a million things to do, you always returned my calls and explained things so I would understand them. You kept me positive and calm. Both professional and friendly, your approach and the way you tackle problems is like no other. Thank you

If I am ever asked to recommend a Lawyer, JD and Associates will where I send them.
