TESTIMONIALS


JMT

Many thanks to Christine for your assistance with my recent estate dispute.

You were creative, professional, empathetic, and followed through promptly with
everything that needed to be done, while being sensitive to my needs. I can
highly recommend your skills and knowledge to anyone in the same situation.

Best wishes to all your staff.

JMT



MRS H.H.

It has been a privilege to have been supported through legal matters by
Christine Smyth, and I wish to express my gratitude to her as she guided me
through the duties required of me as Executor. Christine exhibited compassion
and sincerity whilst dealing with my feelings of sadness and loss, and also the
professionalism necessary to assist me to complete those duties.

I admire the expertise and attention to detail that she offered, and feel
fortunate to have been associated with her. She is a very personable, confident
and obviously dedicated Solicitor.

Mrs H.H.



MR R.G. B.

As an Executor of a deceased Estate, I am pleased to say Christine has handled
the ongoing administration admirably. I have had robust debates with her on the
administration, and we have always come to agreement on the appropriate way
forward. She is skilled in all the matters needed in this Estate.” “Christine
has a forceful personality, with foresight and guidance as needed, while
respecting the Executors’ independent roles. She is professional in her approach
and a person of integrity, attending to our requirements efficiently. The
occasional light-hearted comment helps in relationships and getting the job
done.

Mr R.G. B.



MS. B.J.

I was very close to Dad and his death was a great loss. The administration of
his Estate was handled by Christine Smyth…who demonstrated a level of
professionalism, kindness and understanding which was amazing. I was kept
informed of what was happening throughout the entire process of finalising Dad’s
Estate, and my queries were always dealt with promptly.

Christine’s knowledge of Estate matters and her ability to explain legal issues
was outstanding. I cannot really put into words my gratitude. Be assured that I
will continue to recommend your practice to anyone in need of legal advice.

Ms B.J.



COLIN FLEMING – COLIN FLEMING & CO SOLICITORS

Christine Smyth is a colleague who I initially got to know as a fellow member of
the Queensland Law Society Succession Law Committee.  This body makes submission
to the Queensland Government on succession law, and deals with the judges
committee on estate administration. My point being that  I associate with some
very high achievers and recognise Christine as one of the highest performing
solicitors I know. Others too acknowledge her knowledge and her attention to
detail. This is why Christine is invited to deliver papers all over, at least
the east coast of Australia to other lawyers.  The nicest part about her is she
is not one of the disconnected self-focused academics- she is quite the
opposite.  Her willingness to help others is as strong as her professionalism
and her understanding of all areas of succession law.

Christine’s leadership, listening and advocacy skills are evident with her
election as a member of what the lay person would call the Board of Directors of
the Queensland Law Society.
I unreservedly recommend Christine to clients seeking an expert whose excellence
in her service to her clients is only surpassed by her dedication to them.

GEORGE PASSAS, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, EASTERN SUBURBS MEMORIAL PARK

This note is to thank you for conducting the recent seminar for our sales and
operational staff entitled ‘Rights & Responsibilities, Disputes – How are they
Resolved?’ Christine, clearly your extensive knowledge of Succession Law was an
advantage, but what mattered was your ability to simplify it for the ‘layman’
and to present it in a fun and interactive way.  Again, thank you.

George Passas
Chief Executive Officer, Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park



MR ROB STEVENSON, PRINCIPAL, AUSTRALIAN WORKPLACE LAWYERS

I have had the privilege of knowing, trusting and respecting Christine Smyth for
in excess of 20 years and unreservedly recommend her specialist skills to any
client seeking advice about inheritance law.

MICHAEL MCMAHON, PRESIDENT OF THE CEMETARIES AND CREMATORIUM ASSOCIATION OF NSW

Christine has been active with the Cemetaries and Crematorium Association for a
number of years, presenting to our members at a number of general meetings and
conferences, providing the latest information and case studies on the current
issues facing our industry.

Christine is a power house of information, an expert on Succession Law and
Estate administration.  These particular skills in the areas of inheritance law
has provided our members with the most knowledge in handling difficult questions
on ownership, transfers and custodial issues facing families with the rights to
burials.  Christine has been invaluabel to us in our roles in managing complex
family issues resulting from burials and ownership. – Michael McMahon, President
of the Cemetaries and Crematorium Association of NSW

ROB LUSCOMBE, CEMETARY SERVICES MANAGER, SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL &
PRESIDENT, QLD CEMETARIES AND CREMATORIA ASSOCIATION

The Queensland Cemetaries and Crematoria Association has a long standing
relationship with Christine.  Christine speaks about industry specifics in plain
english while also providing professional and specific details.  Her legal
knowledge regarding the industry is immense, however her general knowledge of
the cemetary industry itself shows a dedication and passion not seen by many
others.  Her presentations are succinct and detailed while providing answers in
easy to understand terms.  She is always willing to answer any questions put to
her and if she is unable to answer it her replies are prompt and detailed. 
When we are selecting conference speakers, Christine is always high on our list
of preferred candidates.

Rob Luscombe
Cemetary Services Manager, Sunshine Coast Regional Council & President, Qld
Cemetaries and Crematoria Association



RENEE GAMBLE – DIRECTOR AT BISCOSGROVE

I have had the pleasure of working with Christine on a number of our mutual
clients. Her extensive knowledge and the results that she has achieved for my
clients, coupled with the absolute passion that she has for her field have made
Christine my “go to” for my clients legal issues. Christine is the rare
professional who is able to communicate effectively at all levels whilst
maintaining a personal approach. And the feedback from my clients has been
unfailingly positive which is the ultimate litmus test!

Renee Gamble

JENEVE FRIZZO – PRINCIPAL AT THE WILL AND ALL

I have the great pleasure of working with Christine for a number of years now in
a range of ways which includes our mutual commitment to the support of and
contribution to the profession generally, succession lawyers in particular, and
women lawyers to be more specific again. Christine is a joy to work with:
motivated; thoughtful; whip-smart; always sensitive; always supportive, but a
great realistic as well. She has an acutely insightful intellect and is a
driven, interesting and effective lawyer and person. I have enjoyed the benefit
of her support and championship, and am fortunate that our professional
relationship has assumed elements of friendship in that context.

Jeneve Frizzo
Principal at The Will and All



S.L.

Christine Smyth is a can do solicitor. Her uncanny ability to look inside and
outside of the box is extraordinary.

Christine has taken on Goliath and won in a manner which showcases her strengths
in problem solving, strategizing and empowering her clients to achieve the best
outcome possible.

You want Christine on your side, a very fine insightful, intelligent,
articulated and highly skilled solicitor who communicates brilliantly with her
clients, staff and barristers.

Thank you for listening to me and believing in me and taking on my cases when
several other Gold Coast firms didn’t want to help.

I have no hesitation in recommending Christine Smyth.

S.L.
