Brett Slater Solicitors, 8/89 York Street, Sydney

I agree with the other reviews, Mr Slater is terrible at what he does. I have been his client for over 2 years and I regret ever hiring him. Firstly he and his staff only care about getting paid. Every second you spend there is billed. This includes you having to wait to even see him. In my last appointment I spent only 10 minutes speaking to him if it was even that. During that time he would not answer any of my questions because I had a bill outstanding which I confirmed that I would be paying the next week which I did. Now I find out I was billed for 40 minutes when I was given zero information. I can understand everyone is running a business but you are also affecting people lives with what you do or don't do. I could write another essay about their incompetence but in conclusion don't waste your money and more importantly your time.

My first consultation lasted 30 minutes and I thought it went well but the lawyer needed advice from Brett, the principal lawyer. I booked another appointment and was told that Brett does not think he can represent me and I was told my other visa options according to their assessment. I was surprised that I was billed for the time the lawyer took to ask Brett about my case. In the end, it was all a waste of time and money and I am grateful that I found another lawyer.

Waste of time and money. Spent 1 hour explaining our storey with little or no advice given at the end.
