Murdoch Clarke

Charged an arm and a leg for poor service which involved a dozen very short emails and half a dozen phone calls. Nearly $800!!! Reduced to $400. Still exorbitant and didnt even achieve the required outcome. Wont go back.

Friendly, professional, efficient. My lawyer puts me at ease and explains legal matters in clear, simple English. So glad I found him.

I was recommended Murdoch Clarke’s services by a friend of mine. I wish I read other people experiences before committing to a law firm that is completely unproductive and negligent. I’m assuming that because my case with them is quite a basic one no one’s bothered to put even the slightest effort into dealing with it. Every time I call, no answer. I’ll just get an email response to shut me up it feels like. If I don’t call or email for an update, I won’t get one…. For as long as I don’t. My case has been hand balled from lawyer to lawyer which shows how little they’ve invested in it. I’ve even tried to call to speak to the managing partner with absolutely no luck. I’m stuck now and my simple matter is just getting dragged out past it’s due date. I understand that there are other factors causing delays and it’s not entirely their fault, but their customer service is non existent and effort in closing this is beyond that if there is such a thing. If I had my time again I would have done the research to find a better law firm.I’ve never written a Google review in my life, so it goes to show how this situation has affected me. Don’t bother with Murdoch Clarke, it’s not worth your sanity.

Worst law firm ever! Full of inexperienced green solicitors and old irresponsible solicitors. Even the partner does not give a …about her client, enjoying her holiday most of the year. If you cherish your life, don’t choose them!

They are currently dealing with my with my late Aunties estate, who passed away over 18 months ago. Myself and my other family members have been notified, but for some reason have not been told any information to date, which has been very frustrating to say the least. We have currently engaged another lawyer to try and assist with our case. Our last correspondence was three weeks ago where claimed they would provide a detailed reason for lengthy delay and the lack of any information being provided. My dealing with this company have not been good.

I found the person I was dealing with at Murdoch Clarke to be passive aggressive. Also one of their solicitors witnessed my mother's will and also he was the executor of the will and inserted a charging clause in it, for his benefit - which was all rather strange. If I could give them no stars, I would.

Always a rewarding experience.

Worryingly forgetful. Unaware of recently implemented state law. Unexpected invoice months later because of ‘forgotten’ fees. Avoid this law firm.

Advised me to plead guilty to a charge I didn't commit and concealed the evidence from me that proved I was innocent. Gave me false legal advice, prevented me from accessing the evidence and concealed facts that's would have allowed me to plead not guilty. Raised the issues with them and supplied the evidence that there lawyer was lying and they wRefused to do anything then complained when I lodged a formal complaint with the board.

Had dealings with this firm through an estate matter. The way they handled the matter was appalling.
