Debbie was outstanding! She demonstrated her skill in, not only effectively communicating to me, but also to the court on my behalf.

Debbie represented my son who was appearing before the Youth Court for the first time. She clearly detailed the case to both my son and myself. We felt that we were in safe hands and Debbie articulately presented to the court the mitigating circumstances which led to my son being in such an unfortunate position.
