Hi Malcolm, You are a shark (in a positive way)! Thank you so much for bringing light to this situation. Now I can have peace of mind. If I don't get a formal response from them I'll use your letter as my protective weapon. Please let me know how I can make a payment to you. … Thanks again! You cannot even imagine how much mentally stronger I feel now reading your advice.

There's no more BS hopefully. Wow...is it really over? But what will [other party] get up to next????...:((( Thanks for your input here....and over the period we have been dealing with this and other matters, including the defamation rubbish. Malcolm...you have done a great job for us here! We very much appreciate your constant wise counsel and direction. Without it I think [we] would have been total neurotic wrecks through dealing with [other party] in particular! Great stuff. You deserve a beer of three after all this!!! Ha. Cheers 🙂

Hi Alistair, As advised by [the conveyancing solicitor] settlement has finally occurred on the above property. Thanks to you the buyer has proceeded with the contract and I am so appreciative of your advice and guidance in this matter. You always listened and responded to my concerns, communicated often both by email and phone and ensured I understood the process and consequences of my decisions. I felt confident that you would do the best for me. Thank you. I'm sure you will forward your invoice shortly and I am more than happy to settle the account promptly. Furthermore, I will recommend you to my friends and relatives. My goal in all of this was to move to a more appropriate home for my future but I have to admit there was an element of winning! Thank you again Alistair

You have already written a wonderful response to the interim order application before I even know it. That saved me from panic. You sacrifice your time for lunch and work after hour for me and my sister, Grace. May God reward your kindness and bless the works of your hands abundantly! Warmest regards

In March 2018 I received a series of threatening letters from the partner of a Brisbane Law firm on behalf of a developer who had constructed units on a neighbouring boundary. My attempt at a common sense reply only escalated the scale of their intimidation, so I engaged Malcolm to help. Just one letter drafted by him was enough to make the problem disappear, we never heard from them again. Money well spent and I would have no hesitation in using him again.

Without the help of you all we would not be in the position that we are now in of owning the company and having a real chance of making it a success. You all made yourselves available to us at a drop of a hat!!! You answered all our questions honestly and quickly. I know I phoned most of you many many times in desperation and you were always caring, supportive, professional and helpful. You all truly supported us through one of the worst situations and times and there were many times when we felt there was no light at the end of the tunnel but............ with a team of incredible people behind us we have made it out! Please know that you are all always welcome at [our business]!! Once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Kind Regards

I have known Malcolm Robinson in professional capacity since 2009. In recent times, he has been acting for one of my companies in relation to a number of claims in the Supreme Court of Queensland arising out of a development being undertaken by my group …. I have been very happy at all stages with the timeliness of action and clear and concise legal advice I have received. In all matters I have been provided a clear path for the future conduct of the matter, whilst also explaining considerations relating to other possible courses of action. I have dealings with many legal firms covering many types of matters. The legal services provided by Robinson Locke Litigation Lawyers have been second to none and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

We have been using the services of Malcolm Robinson and Dain Locke since April 2007 primarily to instigate litigation on our behalf to assist in the recovery of our bad debts. Their efforts have helped us to reduce our bad debts from 15% to less than 1% over this period. They were successful in achieving some very large recoveries on our behalf. In addition to litigation, Robinson Locke also reviewed our lending documentation and redrafted these to ensure our interests were protected for both lending and recovery. Subsequent challenges against this agreement have been unsuccessful and the contract/guarantee drafted proved to be water tight. Our dealings with them have been very prompt and efficient. I find them to be very approachable, honest, knowledgeable and informative.
