Sahil Sharma

Jon Wiles did a very good job for us in obtaining our licence in the face of a considerable amount of opposition. The main objector then appealed, and Jon Wiles represented us at the appeal hearing and we were also successful.
​
Sekhar Ganeshuni

Mr Wiles has successfully represented us with regard to two opposed applications – one for our off-licence at Snells Beach and the other at Target Road with the premises close to a nearby petrol service station. The opposition was strong in both cases but he dealt with both applications very expertly. The Medical Officer of Health then appealed the grant of the Target Road application to ARLA but Jon Wiles won that appeal as well.
​
Zenice Gujarathi

Jon Wiles was successful in obtaining a licence for us connected with our premises at Rotoiti Hot Springs. The application for a licence faced many objections and he got us through the hearing very well. He then successfully opposed an appeal to ARLA against that decision. We are a delighted and appreciative client.
