Nick is a highly competent, thorough, articulate and professional individual.I highly recommend his firm to anyone requiring legal representation.He immediately honed in on the most advantageous manner to pursue my case without extracting hours of unproductive, frivolous details and costly charges. He's straight to the point.Innocence is not a forgone conclusion if you don't know how to navigate the legal system. Without his acumen, I would have ignorantly accepted an outcome with unforeseen long-term repercussions. I owe a debt of gratitude for his services.read more

I sent $1,000 to Stevenson Legal by mistake. I was meaning to transfer the money from one account into another but somehow pressed the payee as Stevenson Legal instead. I was in England when Nick Stevenson contacted me by email about my mistake and asked for my account details so that he could send me a refund. Being on hoiday I promptly forgot about it.Then he reminded me again with another email. At that time I was visiting Malaysia and again promptly forgot about it. And again he reminded me on my return to Perth. His persistence and honesty in returning my money is to be lauded. I wish all lawyers, indeed all people, were as fair and honest as Nick Stevenson.Thank you Nick.Sincerely, David Chye Thank you Nickread more

After finding myself in a rather stressful and overwhelming predicament of losing my license and possible employment, I realised I needed professional advice. Mr Stevenson was the second solicitor I contacted and I wish he was the first one as he was best person for the job. He has extensive knowledge and experience about E license applications; even though he might agree my case was a bit different to most with my work requirements. Mr Stevenson upheld confidence and professionalism in all aspects of the application and I therefore felt confident in having him represent my case in the court room. He was very thorough and prepared me for the worst case scenario; which I appreciated (probably more so now upon reflection than at the time). Even with a “difficult/not the norm” case, we still managed to achieve the best possible outcome. As a single parent relying solely on my own income, with a large amount of debt to clear, I am so grateful for Mr Stevenson’s time, effort and experience. He has helped me to keep my job, but also gave me the opportunity to improve my driving skills by recommending me to complete the Australian Traffic Offenders Program so that when I returned to the road I was a courteous and more observant driver who is aware of triggers and why my “style of driving” eventually lead me to where I found myself which could have potentially lead to me injuring myself and/or others. Having a license is not a right, it is a privilege. A motor vehicle requires licensing and respect for it is a weapon that has the potential to cause grievous bodily harm to others (something I haven’t and never will after this). I have learnt so much from Mr Stevenson and from my experience, and only hope that everyone else is able to have such a positive life changing experience as I have so we can all become the best drivers we can be for ourselves, our family and fellow citizens. Thank you Mr Stevenson!!! You are amazing!read more

My partner found herself in a tricky situation involving a DD charge, fortunately after having a chat with Nick.. he gave us his proffesional opinion on how he believes it this case would pan out. Everything he said that first day was accurate, and a fantastic outcome for us. Highly recommended anyone needing legal advice in regards to similar matters to do themselves a favour and go see Nick.

Very Impressed and Highly recommended. I was charged with driving on a suspended license before and after getting the Extraordinary License was charged again for breaching it and was facing a certain cancellation of the license.

Nick is an outstanding lawyer, who doesn't sell you the world and deliver you nothing.

Mr Stevenson was very through in obtaining all relevant details for my extraordinary licence application. Made things easy to understand. Police didn't oppose our application and neither did the Magistrate. As a matter of fact the Magistrate gave us more than we were asking for. I give Nick 5 Stars plus the coveted Koala stamp for exceptional service. Nicks the real deal.
