"I have been represented by Jabour Haddad and Maria Valenzuela in my family court matters in Western Australia and my protection order proceedings in Queensland. Both matters are extremely litigious. I met with a number of law firms before being recommended by a friend to HNT Legal. My initial consultation was with Maria and within five minutes I knew this was the law firm for me. From the get go, they kept their promise to me - second to non service at an affordable rate. Both Jabour and Maria have taken a big picture approach to these matters and have provided me with practical advice and knowledge as to how certain aspects may impact both of my matters in the long run. Their industry connections meant that I also had access to tier one barristers who would assist in advocacy. They are always available to take my call, be it on the weekend or after hours. More recently, Jabour appeared in Bundaberg, Queensland for my protection order proceedings. This was a 4 day trial. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law in queensland given the fact that he generally deals with matters in NSW. His trial preparation was second to none - he knew what evidence needed to be included and advised the barrister accordingly. He worked very well with the barrister, Damian Sheales and the two had a good working relationship. He attended to urgent matters which arised during this trial and made sure that any new evidence was placed on the record which helped my case. He even came to Queensland with 8 copies of briefs to provide to the Court and the police prosecution. He was not only a great legal advisor during this time, but he also provided emotional support to myself and my extended family during this time. His extensive knowledge of my concurrent family law matters also greatly assisted in these protection order matters. While both of these matters remain on foot, I feel very comfortable with HNT legal. I could not thank Jabour and Maria for the work they have done and continue to do for me. Forever grateful."

"HNT Lawyers, May I thank you sincerely for all your efforts over the past 3 years. I will start by expressing my appreciation for standing by me and having faith. Your care and eye for detail was very much appreciated. You made what could have been a very difficult process quite bearable and for this I thank you. Your staff, from the girls at reception right through to your wonderful secretaries also could not be faulted in their efficiency and caring nature. Thank you all so much."

"Maria Valenzuela is an extraordinary person, and a very insightful, proactive lawyer. In a sea full of lawyers who just want your money, she is instead, a lawyer who is all about getting justice, especially with Domestic Violence matters. Her ability to understand complex cases as well as help you make sense of the legal processes involved, is well, priceless. She will make time for you and is incredibly approachable about any concerns or challenges you may have. Nothing is too difficult for her to take on. If you want to seek legal advice where you will not be questioned but rather genuinely supported, she is your go to. Really grateful I found her, after getting dismissed by way too many other lawyers that really had no insight. Thank you Maria, for making a difference in so many lives. You and your team, are truly an amazing gift to those dealing with DV."

"We’ve had a fantastic and supportive experience with Jabour, Maria and the team at HNT. Jabour has been impressive in his knowledge, dedication and professionalism and I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer to represent my mother-in-law and family in some of our hardest times. Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do."

"Maria and Jabour are outstanding lawyers. They knew how to deal with my matter so that I could get the best possible outcome. They excelled in the law and how to apply for my matter. And they genuinely cared. They were very personable, very compassionate, very sincere. I will be going back to them for my next issues, without a doubt. Highly highly highly recommend HNT Legal. Do yourself a favour and have them deal with your matter. Don't go anywhere else."
