Dale Brown

Finding that many of his previous clients were following him to Melbourne, he determined that expert commercial expertise should be available closer to home.

What our clients say
Stella Tucker
Myself and my family cannot thank Errard Legal enough. We are very grateful, also very thankful for the help they have given us over the past 6 months and continuing to do so. We would give 1000 stars if we could. Very highly recommended.

Dale and his associates helped us secure a positive outcome in a dispute with our builder. Their support and advice really helped us feel reassured and supported. They go above and beyond. Thank you.
Rocco Szabo
What a great experience. I was in a real state when I rang and they took command of the matter on very short notice. They negotiated a very satisfactory outcome. I can highly recommend. Thanks Errard Legal.
Lisa Brown
Dale and Jordan solved a family issue that had been going on for 13 years. My sister and I are extremely happy with the outcome; without their expertise and assertiveness we would still be under an enormous amount of stress. I would recommend Dale and Jordan for all your legal needs. Thank you so much for all you did for us.
