Client testimonials

James provided excellent service during defence of a family law case. James was attentive, resourceful, highly responsive, timely, provided advice where requested and interfaced with counsel on my behalf. But above all James was human, pleasant, understanding and polite through some traumatic times.

I can’t recommend Bindmans highly enough, particularly James Looi and the Family team.

From the very beginning, James was professional, knowledgeable and approachable. He always took the time to explain the legal process clearly, ensuring I understood my options and felt confident in every decision that needed to be made.

I had a very positive experience working with James Looi in the past. I particularly appreciated that he was clear, efficient and practical, and that he would always set out the options available to me in a straightforward and accessible way.

When I recently needed family law advice again in relation to another matter, I specifically searched for James and was pleased to find him at Bindmans. I would happily recommend him for his professionalism, clarity and thoughtful guidance.
