5 Stars almost seem not enough!!

I have referred a couple friends to Delaney Roberts who were both disappointed and disenfranchised with their current representation. Clare McAteer handled their matters and the feedback I got from them was that Clare was nothing short of exceptional! She was attentive, professional as well as kind and empathetic in what was very emotional and difficult times for them.

A true champion of your profession.

Thank you very much for all you have done for me. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in 4 years last night. Once again thank you for your patience and attitude and commitment for a positive outcome.

Gareth Kelly

A true group of professionals.

In a stressful situation Anna has gone well above and beyond what we had hoped or expected.
I highly recommend the one hour online meeting, we are still going through our process but regardless of the outcome the one group of people who have more than held up their end is Anna and her team.
We are from the Sunshine Coast, you do not need to be local to use Delaney Roberts.

All issues are dealt with confidence and details are communicated promptly.

Professional service! Great thanks to Kylie and Linsey for all the help.

Johanna Lilford

Anna made me feel like I was in control.

Anna talked me through to procedures required, organized all the paperwork involved and made me feel like I was in control. She knew exactly what had to be done and kept in touch through the entire process. I found her to be very understanding and professional during this rather difficult time in my life.

Keith Jelbart

Anna provided me comprehensive advice and recommended course of action.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Anna Roberts earlier this year on a rather complex family law issue involving superannuation. I always felt informed and had confidence in the support I was provided. I would certainly recommend Anna to anyone in a similar situation.

Ronald Lightfoot

Anna Roberts was a pleasure to deal with. She always took my calls or returned my messages promptly when she was not available.
