I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you so much for your work on my matter.
The outcome we received yesterday was as good as we could have hoped for. I do not think I would have received this outcome without your hard work, and professionalism. Please pass on my thanks [to the Saba Lawyers Team], for their work was an integral part of this process. The last year has seemed to pass so slowly, and at times it seemed like we would never get to a resolution or a positive result. Now that the matter is concluded, we can move forward and begin to rebuild. I will be more than happy to recommend Saba Lawyers to any friends or colleagues who need legal services.
Thank you again for your excellent work.

31 December 2013Recent legislation passed in Queensland targets motorcycle gangs in a bid to prevent the violence and organised criminal activity associated with some bikie gangs. While many support the sentiment of the laws to minimise illegal behaviour, the legislation has come under a lot of fire. A high court challenge is planned against the laws and over a thousand people have already met in protest around Australia.
