The service provided by Mark along a 2 year long road was absolutely priceless. Sound advice and solid representation was provided every step of the way as well as excellent communication to relieve any nerves or questions I may have had.
Mo also provided his assistance when the issue was coming to a head and I also cannot thank him enough for that. Both Mark and Mo are extremely professional, knowledgeable and excel at what they do.
I would vehemently recommend Mark, Mo and the greater Favell Smith & Lawson firm to anybody in need of legal assistance.

Mark Dooley helped me through a really traumatic and upsetting time. He was professional yet caring, and even though my situation could be seen as less important, he never made me feel that way, quite the opposite. He went the extra mile to make me feel more comfortable and he made sure to get me an outcome that would benefit me. It’s a shame we met under bad circumstances but nevertheless, it was a pleasure to work with him. I would highly recommend Mark.

Phoned these guys for advice, spoke to Tim and he was very helpful indeed. Kind, caring and patience while I explain the situation. While they couldn't help directly, he gave me many useful pieces of advice and contact numbers.
I would have no hesitation in contacting these guys and indeed will use them if I need their services, going forward.
Thank you, Tim and co.
