"Against all common sense, I became involved in a dispute arising from house construction. During this process, I was ably guided by Marija in gathering evidence and developing documentation. She interacted with a high degree of legal knowledge, in-depth understanding of personalities in such dispute, a clear sense of my best decisions along the way and at the end, and with a good sense of humour. My dispute went to the VCAT, a result not ideal for either me or the other party, but her preparation was impeccable and our counsel was well briefed. This showed, and I was happy with the result."
