About
With extensive experience in criminal and family law, CHJ Legal is a premier provider of legal solutions for Perth people.
We are here for our clients when they need, with weekends and evenings availability. There are always lawyers who are willing to tell you what you want to hear, but our approach puts you in focus.
Our small but agile team will not pass you around from lawyer to lawyer, which means you will work with the same person (barring extraordinary circumstances) the whole way through the process.
Our team has extensive experience with people of:
- Culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- High and low income clients
- Different faiths
- LGBTQ people
- Business owners
- Cognitively diverse people
