Client Testimonial

I am writing in regards with my experience as a client of James Nolen. After the first meeting with James, my impression was that he was knowledgeable, quick learning and reassuring. He has been working on a case for me over 12 months. I would love to recommend him to any of my friends if they need a good lawyer for the following reasons. 

Good Communication Skills: James has great both oral articulating and writing skills. He speaks and writes clearly, concisely, and persuasively.

Good Judgement and Analytical Skills: James is very good at drawing logical conclusions and making critical assumptions from limited/or extensive large quantities of information. He is always attentive to details and able to spot points of weakness in oppositions arguments and situations.

Creativity and Pragmatism: James always shows high level of creativity and is pragmatic in problem-solving. He can persuade clients to take emotion out of the equation to achieve best outcome from very complicated situations.

I have had the pleasure of using Jeff Walters at Nolen Walters for my many developments for many years. Jeff has an absolute understanding of how to interpret my requirements and expedite them in a fast and professional way. My legal matters can be comprehensive, and I have found the speed and integrity of Jeff’s services to be very high, with my fees being extremely fair. The rest of the friendly team are always welcoming, and I would be more than happy to recommend Jeff and his team.

Margaret Chen was an outstanding lawyer who provided invaluable assistance with a complex lawsuit involving cross-border issues. Her dual qualifications proved to be extremely beneficial. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her expertise.

We had opportunities to work with Jeff Walters and his team on multiple subdivision and construction projects. I have to say the number of experiences and professions that Jeff and his team have are really benefitting us. And it’s not only from the operational point of view also commercial outcome, especially when your legal matter was complicated. They just always know what client’s needs then deliver what you expected, and not only once, but repeatedly. We will highly recommend Jeff and his team to anyone we know. They are the ones who can really give you the” peace of mind”.

I had the privilege of working with Dala Oh on a complex estate dispute involving assets across multiple countries, intense emotions, and extensive documents in Mandarin Chinese. Her bilingual skills and cultural fluency were invaluable. She identified critical translation errors in key evidence, uncovering issues that changed the case’s outcome. Beyond her sharp legal mind, Dala’s emotional intelligence was a guiding force, helping me navigate this difficult time with composure, clarity, and calm. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Client Testimonial

We had purchased a business that, unbeknownst to us, had guaranteed a third party. When this third party subsequently went into liquidation, the financier came after us in a situation where we had very little leverage or information. James as a litigator, communicated extraordinarily well with the financier’s legal counsel and bought us time and significant concessions. Through the whole process he was prompt and all over the detail. Unlike many professional, James’s follow up, to ensure the everything got closed out properly, was fantastic. Finally, his fees for the whole process were very reasonable.

Dala Oh was a lifesaver during one of the hardest times in my life. From day one, she made me feel heard, supported, and confident in my case. She guided me with clear advice, fought hard for me in Court, and truly had my best interest at heart. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I got a great outcome. If you need a lawyer who is both skilled and compassionate, this is the super hero you want by your side.

My name is Bruce and I have been a client for James Nolen since 2015. He has helped with many matters, and he has always been able to find the best solution and achieve the best outcome for me. He is very thorough, and he always put the client's best interest first and he also looks after the client's fee and allows generous time for me to pay off his fee while I was having financial hardship, and while I was going through the litigation with the other party. He is a great lawyer and a great human being. I strongly recommend him, and he is deserved to be awarded as Client Choice.

I have used James Nolen, together with other members of his team on various matters over a number of years, ranging from relatively straight forward commercial matters to highly complex High Court applications, which essentially involved rewriting legislation to cater to circumstances not provided for in existing law. The solutions provided to the issues at hand, were always sensible and pragmatic, and to date, happily, always successful. I have no hesitation in recommending James and his team, regardless of the degree of complexity involved when you are looking for cost effective and timely advice.

Peter Sargent was already acting as our legal advisor for some years.  Peter has assisted us in general conveyancing matters in respect to our Family Trust and personally, in several sales and purchases of property, and property related matters.  In every instance we have found Peter readily accessible, responsive, thorough, and effective. Given our experiences with Peter and his team, we highly recommend him.  Quite apart from his professional ability to grasp the detail and nuances of legal issues we’ve been involved with; we also enjoy Peter’s company on the occasions we’ve encountered him on a personal level.
