CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Two,Confident,Businesspeople,Using,A,Digital,Tablet,Together,While,Working

I was very pleased with the quality, attentiveness and responsiveness of your services. I found you to be very knowledgeable in family law and criminal matters. I look forward to continuing having you represent me in future proceedings and I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

Mark Z Australia

PCL Lawers provided me with excellent service. I had a very stressful issue with an Estate matter. I had the pleasure to have Philip Drew assist me and advise me, he answered all my questions, he explained everything I didn’t understand and was causing me a lot of stress in a way I could understand, he put my mind at ease and I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I could finally breathe. Philip is very knowledgeable and professional and treated me with compassion. I highly recommend PCL and Philip to anyone seeking an expert in Wills and Estate matters. I would use PCL again if I need legal advice in the future.
Thank you so much Philip!

Alexandra P Melbourne

Out of speaking to two other lawyers you were the only one to give me any genuine advice.

Tiffany J Melbourne

I appreciate your time and effort and thank you for your prompt response and professionalism. I would not hesitate to use your services again and refer PCL Lawyers to others.

Lisa G Bentleigh

If I had of gone to another law firm that was cheaper I may have saved many thousands of dollars but as it turns out I may have lost a lot more than that upon settlement. Using a firm such as PCL lawyers I had the peace of mind that each issue as it arose was dealt with in a very matter of fact way and to the letter of the law.

Brett Wilson Glen Waverley

Emma Restall and her team in the construction division of PCL are amazing. Emma has helped educate myself and team on legislation and advise to ultimately improve my businesses output and bottom line.

I would highly recommend Emma to anyone seeking an expert in the Building & Construction industry.

Shaun Brookes

I’ve had the pleasure to be assisted by Marilyn Wai the Senior Associate at PCL Lawyers and she has been nothing but amazing. She is thorough in her work, detailed in her responses and punctual in all her communication. Her service is second to none and I could not have asked for anyone better to oversee my cases.

I was very well looked after by the entire team at PCL Lawyers when Marilyn was away. Every correspondence was transparent and easy to understand. The overall process was an absolute breeze. There is no doubt in my mind I will return for their business should I require any future assistance.

Eva B

PCL helped us with purchasing our first home. Brad specifically worked with us. They were professional, upfront about the costings, which were reasonable. They answered any questions we had over email promptly and it was nice to have someone advocating for us and our interests, as first home buyers.

Thanks once again!

PCL acted on my behalf for a client who refused to pay an invoice. I found PCL to be very responsive and, ultimately, the entire invoice, plus costs, was paid. It’s always nice to have a win like this, so thanks PCL Lawyers.

Geoff S

Joanna Shaft has gone above and beyond in representing us at VCAT with a difficult tenant. I cannot fault her professionalism and attention to detail and would highly recommend Joanna’s services.

Eddie D

Highly professional and very human all at the same time!

Under stressful circumstances, Emma and PCL guided me through the whole process, with experienced counsel, advice and of course, empathy. And most of all, we achieved the result we were all happy with. I would thoroughly recommend them moving forward and wouldn’t hesitate to engage again.

Working with PCL lawyers and specifically my lawyer has been very satisfactory. They are professional, respectful and friendly. Management of my case has given me the reassurance and confidence to progress my case. Details have been explained at all stages.
