I engaged Gleeson & Associates towards the end of 2022. Calvin Sloane inherited my case after a bungled bail application by another firm that seen the application refused. From the outset, Calvin and the team at Gleeson’s instilled in me confidence of their ability to get the best outcome imaginable. And they did just that, delivering on their word and then some. I can’t recommend them enough, nor can I fault their tireless efforts and dedication to their clients. A sincere and heartfelt thank you to Gleeson’s and in particular Calvin Sloane and the Barrister he secured for my defence. Both masters of their trade and truely second to none.

I was at the edge of getting thrown into jail and with a criminal record which brought so much stress upon myself but Damian went above and beyond to get me to where i’am are today and achieved absolute fantastic results, i’m a free man because of Damian. I have put all my trust in his hands and he did not disappoint me at all. Thank you so so much for everything Damian and the entire team of McNally and Gleeson Lawyers.

I highly recommend Damian, he gave us a realistic expectation and put us all at ease. We achieved fantastic results and we certainly wouldn’t have had this outcome if it weren’t for Damian.Highly recommended, fantastic service. Really appreciate all your help.

I’ve been dealing with Damian and his firm. For quite a while, everything has gone smoothly, & I have no doubt in Damian whatsoever, amazing lawyer, very credible knowledgeable, & professional.

I can not recommend Damian highly enough. I was in a place where I was scared of the outcome and how criminal charges might affect my custody and seriously there was no better outcome available to me than the one I got. Put your trust in Damian and his team, he won’t let you down. He has set the standard so high with his professionalism that I wish he practiced all areas of law because after Damian’s representation I’m having trouble finding solicitors in other areas of law that I can trust and that meet my expectations after Damian.

I couldn’t recommend Jacinta Robinson enough. Jacinta was extremely professional, reliable, kept up great communication. Jacinta represented my partner while he was in custody & was able to get him released with the best possible outcome.

Damian is absolutely fantastic, i was facing very serious charges I would be somewhere in jail today had I not received the expert representation i did.I could not have asked for a better outcome and could not find another lawyer as good as he.. Very professional service and I highly recommend he and his colleagues.

Firstly a BIG thanks to Damian and his team! I couldn’t recommend them more highly.Damian navigated a long and complicated case (right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic) and delivered the best outcome imaginable. His legal knowledge and negotiation skills are better than top notch. He was available for consultation every step of the way (and is the friendliest lawyer you will ever meet). He is without a doubt the best in his field.

I live in Melbourne and I was charged by a wrong charge and I was not happy with that charge and my previously lawyer didn't ready to even listen me. So i was not happy. But after that my one friend gave me the advice about Michael J. GLEESON AND specialyabout Damian. I already met him last week and really all staff is very helpful and always ready to support you.I am really happy to get these type of staff.Thanks
