Pearsons Lawyers

A company which boosts its star rating by writing its own reviews. Two years ago, this company was 3.1 stars, hardly.... Now its a 4.5 and many reviews are of their own and many others are single reviews by people who don't review anything else but were compelled by the brilliant services of Pearson. How wonderful!

Thank you to Leanne and Louis and the team at Pearsons (Glenroy). The Pearsons team secured a great result for me and I am very grateful for their assistance and professionalism throughout our engagement. Thanks again

My close friend unfortunately had to use this firm for family law matters and the lawyer was absolutely useless. She took a very long time to respond and also delayed the process and did not strongly advocate for her best interest.

I was unaware when I selected this company they had a reputation for grossly overcharging. I'm disappointed to say they definitely live up to this reputation. The Glenroy Office underquoted me for their services, in their words because you don't have a lot of money" to ensure I proceeded with their company

If I could give 0 stars I would.Spent months with these guys only to come out of it $7000 poorer and nothing to show for it.I was constantly having to chase them for updates or to find out what was happening.If I didn't follow up I wouldn't hear from them.Months were spent building a case" but it was constantly dragged out with no court date ever being set.In the end my emails and phone calls were ignored

Their charging model is designed to absolutely recover literally EVERY SECOND of the time they might spent in your case.I came to them to formalise the financial agreement between my ex-husband and myself. My husband and I had already agreed to our asset split and the cost of preparing the agreement should have been minimal.My husbands lawyer prepared the agreement and their charge to him for all advice and services was $1,100.Pearsons charged me over $7000 for doing nothing!How this place worksStep 1 - first phone consultation is free after that every breath they take they will change you without explanation as to where your money has gone and why you have to pay more!Step 2 - you have to add $2500 in their account otherwise they won’t do anything! I paid what they asked forAnd after 1 phone calls, 2 emails, 1 meeting of less than 10 minutes! All the $2500 is gone. ( there was no advice involved with these calls and emails I only explained to them about our agreement)Step 3 - I have received an email advising I needed to add another $3000 to their account otherwise they won’t do anything! No explanation or invoice.When I demanded an invoice, they sent an invoice that was very confusing (my ex husband is accountant he even struggled to understand their invoice) what we found out was they charge the same thing over over again and even charged to read the email when I complained about their charges .Also during the exchange of email I discovered other mistakes in their billing and asked them to correct, I was charged for their time to read emails highlighting their errors.Step 4 - I received another email to pay $3000 – at this point I said no more and they agreed that if I pay $750 that will be the final bill from them .I now think I am done with Pearson’s!Some weeks later I get an email / SMS demanding I pay another $450. I have refused to pay this amount as it was already agreed in writing the $750 above was the final amount due.

Avoid. You're given the 'Grand tour' for the first 'Free' discussion with one of their heavy hitters and told a solicitor will be 'Helping' them with your case. This equates to the solicitor doing everything. I was advised by the solicitor that a part of my case was not relevant and then advised by a partner it was a key part of my case! Double and triple handling help keep the costs coming.
