McCarthy Durie Lawyers

Dissatisfaction I engaged this law firm to handle both a property settlement and a divorce application. I specifically instructed them, in writing, to make the application on a certain date. This was not done. Significant financial repercussions would have occurred had I died before the divorce decree was granted. Their stated reply was: " Our legal team acted on all relevant instructions. We acknowledge that timing of actions was not always to your satisfaction. However, we consider the timings were reasonable in the circumstances". A legal team member had made an appointment to telephone to discuss matters. This did not occur. The subsequent excuse given was that the person's dog had become ill and had to be taken to the vet.

John and Michelle supported us with a very serious situation with regards to our renovation. They were measured, cautious, with their advice.Additionally they were able to engage great specialists for reports that we hope will help support our situation.

I could not recommend Octavia highly enough. I am not always an easy client as I can have very high expectations but every single one of my expectations were met and exceeded. Octavia is so knowledgeable, she made the entire process so easy and stressfree and that's with dealing with 2 properties! 100% would recommend MDL to everyone

My husband and I are very grateful for the thoroughness and attention to detail provided by Michelle at MDL for our building contract. She really went above and beyond and took the time to explain. We'd highly recommend this firm.

I recently had Raisa Blanco (an Associate at McCarthy Durie Lawyers) help me with a business agreement that I was undertaking. She did a great job - she was prompt, commercial and highlighted the options. I look forward to having Raisa help me in the future.

I spent thousands of dollars to have McCarthy Durie monumentally stuff up a property dispute by submitting incorrect forms to court. Adding insult to injury the senior associate was so rude and unapologetic toward my situation and offered no remedy. Disgusting behaviour from a professional practice.Take heed and stay away!

Referred to McCarthy Durie by the Master Builders to help with some legal matters for our construction business, they acted quickly and followed up with the proposed next steps before it even crossed my mind and we got the result we wanted. Would highly recommend them to others.

Raisa and Andrew went above and beyond to help my business partner and I enter into a shareholders agreement that suited our needs. Highly recommend this firm.
