Dealt with my minor charge in a professional & serious manner. Other lawyers in Adelaide told me to "cop the charge" though James was completely open to fighting the case. Which he did successfully. Highly recommend.

Never use them. I was extremely unhappy, the way I was treated.. I have been your client and Mr Craig had been to the court with me on a few hearings without even reading abt my case. I have got enough proof of correspondance to show that I have paid you 3500$

I dont usually bother with reviews , but i ive been learning lately its quite helpful for me when im looking for services, so i should do the same and these guys deserve it.
I would without hesitation recommend Caldicott Lawyers. My family and i have had an extremely hard time this year and I'm so glad we have had Casey represent us. He is responsive, genuine and one thing we liked most is he is realistic , he wont tell you what you want to hear to get more money out of his client . On the rare occasion that he might have been unavailable if he was with other clients or court or whatever, we still

I was worried about having to see a lawyer for my problem but Craig put me at ease and I knew immediately I could trust him to get the best outcome - and that's what he did. He is exceptionally good at what he does.
