In the old joke that "99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name", Northside Lawyers would HAVE to be that 1%. So very pragmatic, realistic, understanding, and confident, with plenty of sound advice without charging the Earth.
After visiting half a dozen or so over the years, I'd have to say these guys will be my first choice in the future.

After never having had to deal with the legal system and feeling scared and extremely vulnerable, it was an absolute comforting relief to find this firm. From my very first call to the receptionist Belinda, who assured me that Bill with his highly experienced background would be able to help us and that is exactly what he did. From his professional, no nonsense yet EXTREMELY compassionate point of view got us the best results we could have asked for and at such a reasonable cost!!. I will forever be grateful that we chose Bill to guide us through such stressful time.

Without a doubt, the best lawyer I have ever engaged, I have known many lawyers in my life and I have never been able to give a single one a 5 star review, in fact I have never given any lawyer more than 3 stars.
Bill is truly a unique Lawyer. I witnessed first hand a difference in service and compassion that is rarely displayed by people in this profession. The costs were completely transparent and surprisingly reasonable.
There was never a doubt in my mind that Bill was fighting for the best outcome for me and he exceeded my expectations at every level imaginable.
I contacted Bills office for emergency representation on the 23rd of December and there office was closed due to Christmas and New Year. I left a message knowing I was not going to have representation for my court date on 2/1.
I was contacted by Barbara to advise the office was actually closed for the holiday period however given the circumstances she would have Bill contact me the following day. I was already shocked that this was going to happen.
Bill contacted me while on leave and out of the office by telephone, he agreed to represent me and attended court with me as required.
I am grateful to have found such a professional office that looks at clients as human and literally bent over backwards to accomodate (sic) my needs. This is the first time in my life I have had a lawyer contact me when closed and after hours and then attend court with me while their office is closed for the holidays and they are on leave.
I am completely and pleasantly surprised and will use these guys for anything else that pops up in the future.

Thank you, Barbara for all you have done to finalise the Grant of Probate for mum’s estate. Your advice is invaluable and working with you has been effortless. Your knowledge and experience in estate law, along with your kindness, has made this difficult time more bearable.

Bill Morris is without a doubt one of the best lawyers you could ever have represent you. He has defended clients in some of the highest profile cases in South Australia, as I have keenly followed his career over the years. The fact he was appointed a Magistrate was no surprise to me at all. 35 years ago he defended me against false charges and literally paved my way to a prosperous future. I have never been in trouble with the law since, and to this day count my blessings that he accepted my case. He's a very friendly person, who no doubt loves practicing law. That he still remains steadfast in my memory after all these years is indicative of the impression he made upon me. Making himself available to anybody in need of defence at this stage in his career is a testament to his character and belief in the system of law and the rights of all to a strong defence.

Bill is a wonderful lawyer and human being. He is extremely fair regarding fees and very transparent. I trust him completely and would recommend him to anyone needing help.

I could not recommend Northside Lawyers highly enough as all the staff in their office are very professional and efficient. Bill and Jack are both great in their fields, with very affordable rates that eases the burden of going through the legal system. They always have their client's best interest in mind and would provide the best advice for the best possible outcome. They are well known in legal community for all the right reasons and highly respected by their peers. They have helped me and my family when we thought there was no light at the end of tunnel. They also helped us alleviate our stress mentally, emotionally and financially. All the best to the whole team.
