Rob’s diverse and global background gives him knowledge which is not just textbook, he gives straight forward advice, directly answers questions and is honest. I’d certainly recommend him. Having real answers means that you can make real decisions, rather than hypotheticals.
Alex Candetti on Rob Comazzetto
Although Cowell Clarke have grown significantly, they still give personal service and advice. Unlike some of the larger interstate firms that I have dealt with, you’re not handed from one lawyer to another, until your matter is delegated to the most junior resource.
