I was highly impressed from the very first phone call I had with Anitesh. It was during the holiday season when most law firms were unavailable and he provided the reassurance I was looking for, with a deep understanding of construction dispute related law. My case had a strict deadline and he handled the whole case very professionally and got me the best outcome I could have wished for. I would highly recommend him to anyone for all legal matters.

Absolutely A1 service.    I definitely recommend Resolute Lawyers.  So glad when I was about to give up with a property matter I found Resolute Lawyers. We were kept informed throughout the process and gave us sound advice before we started.  Couldn't be happier, a job others said was near impossible was completed in a short time frame and for a very reasonable cost.  Thank you again for your fabulous service.

Resolute Lawyers assisted me with collecting a debt arising from a Disputes Tribunal order that a car dealership had delayed and avoided paying for more than six months. Anitesh provided clear advice on the process I should follow, explained each step, and outlined the risks involved. The way Anitesh handled the situation was consistently professional and demonstrated his extensive knowledge and experience in this area. The results speak for themselves — the dealer paid the debt in full, along with all application and processing fees incurred. I highly recommend Resolute Lawyers.
