Lisa Kay

OWNER, TORA BAY WINES

Sincere thanks to the Barbara, Matt and Toby for their invaluable knowledge, support and expertise during a stressful three months. I would definitely recommend this team for any difficult employment related matters. It is so important to seek professional help to get through to mediation and a successful resolution.

Beverley Macris

I can not thank the staff at Buckett Law enough for help the they have given me in resolving a workplace situation involving collusion and improper processes with intent to unjustifiably dismiss. At initial contact they were they were both professional and caring which was not easy as I was highly emotionally distressed. Once I engaged with them they were with me every step of the way giving solid advice and the courage to keep fighting for what I believed was right. I found them approachable and always available to talk things through. I also have no doubt that without their help and excellent knowledge of employment law I would not have been able to achieve such a successful outcome.

Manuka Sticks

I was advised from a friend to contact Barbara Buckett after an unexpected employment issue, and I have been impressed from the outset at the level of care that I have received from all of the team. From beginning to end, my contact with the office has been supportive and professional. I also had the pleasure of seeing Barbara ``earn her money`` and I can quite happily affirm that it was money well spent. For anyone needing an experienced and personable service, I would highly recommend without hesitation, Buckett Law.
