Review Summary

Clients frequently praise specific lawyers like Miro Booth for property matters, Brent McDonald for employment advice, and Gerhard for comprehensive support, noting their professionalism, clear communication, and empathetic approach. However, several reviews raise serious concerns about family law representation, including allegations of sexism, poor communication, and unprofessional conduct by lawyers like Jeremy Glasgow and Gerhard. While many clients describe excellent experiences with efficient, friendly teams, others warn of inconsistent service quality and recommend avoiding the firm entirely.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Gerhard, Brent, Cesca and Angie on a couple of legal matters recently. Highly professional, knowlegeable and empathetic. It was important to us to deal with a team who were approachable and completely transparent and these guys were exactly that! Keep up the good work!

All my legal buses came at once – my separation with my wife of 20+ years, transferring ownership of the family home, buying my new home, getting my will sorted, contracting out with my new partner. It was a hectic time for me - and Gerhard, and also his team, couldn’t have been more supportive and just bloody effective. I don’t do law very often, but Gerhard took the time to make sure I understood the process and when progress was being made. He also helped me make some good decisions that are panning out in the long run. I was also pleasantly surprised at the reasonableness of the bill(s). Great work and thank you.

Heather McKinnon and the team at Glasgow Harley are incredible. I feel exceptionally lucky to have had her as my legal representation and totally trust her advice and abilities. If you need someone to support you through Family Court, she should be your top pick.

I recently was communicating with Brent McDonald about an employment matter, which he assisted me with. I wish to give feedback for the very professional way in which he conducted himself, although ultimately I did not engage his services I still found him to be very very helpful and clear with his instructions. I am not in a financial position to engage the services of your law firm as a result of my employment matter (I have been laid off), however Brent still gave me some wonderful advice and pointed me in the right direction for someone in my position. He was very forthcoming with his honesty as he also did not wish for me to incur a debt I would be unable to service. This I found to be of tremendous help and this honesty came with absolutely no judgement from Brent. Please pass on my appreciation and praise for Mr McDonald whom is a real asset to your firm. Thank you very much.

Glasgow Harley have been my Solicitors for twenty-two years during which time I have had cause to use their services on at least a dozen occasions. I can not recommend them highly enough, having received nothing but the very best of care and attention. Also, I have found their fees to be both fair and reasonable.

I have serious concerns about Jeremy Glasgow's approach in a sensitive situation involving a child. In my experience his conduct lacked professionalism and empathy, which I find deeply troubling.

Very unprofessional law firm. Contacted them about family lawyers and was told they don't do family law. Months later I come to find out they are representing my abusive ex. I'm a man so seems they are sexist since they dismissed me immediately. If you're a man looking for family lawyers don't look here.

Stay away from these people. Quick to accept legal aid cases but Lawyers never communicate with their clients (many weeks on end) or willing to actualy do any work. In my opinion they should be investigated. I personaly know 3 different clients with similar experiences from these lawyers. Go anywhere else.. you have been warned.
