It is apparent that Shelley has a great reputation - because when I needed help recently with setting up a contract for an upcoming work project in SA my networks led me to Shelley at Clearly Legal in Sydney! I found Shelley very easy to communicate with (via phone, zoom and email) - as she offers the right mix of empathy, listening and efficiency, and I am very happy to now have a robust agreement as I set forth on the project. The Clearly Legal fee schedule and quoting process were very user friendly, and in the perfect ball-park for a sole trader like me.
