Unsatisfactory Experience
However, Spearhead had a concerning experience with John Sutherland. He was introduced to John through an acquaintance and sought advice on a section 128 matter in the Supreme Court. John allegedly pushed Spearhead's disabled senior mother into unnecessary litigation, withheld vital information, and misguided them to extract more money. The billing exceeded $80,000, and John suggested selling their house to pay his fees. Spearhead felt John and his associate, John Simpson, were incompetent and untrustworthy, and reported the conduct to the Victorian legal commission.
