Cogent Legal Lawyers and Solicitors - Cheltenham, Victoria

I needed some legal advice and Murphy from Cogent Legal gave me a call fairly quickly.

I have to say, I enjoyed having chat with him, he was very friendly and explained everything in terms I could understand.

He showed his profound knowledge and provided pragmatic advice.

But what I liked most was his way of engaging, very human. You get the feeling he is there to help.

One other thing I liked is that he gave me a quote over the phone without actually seeing what he needed to do. but when I got to his office and asked to confirm the quote (I thought it would be more after I sent some papers) he just said "nah it's what I said on the phone, I'm a man of my word".

Trust us something not easy to findb these days.

Thanks Murphy!

Having very little legal knowledge and the prospect of using a lawyer daunting, I was very relieved after taking my construction law and small business matter to Murphy. It was resolved with absolute professionalism, from the start I was made to feel heard and my anxiety turned into confidence . I wouldn't hesitate to engage again or recommend to anyone who might need his expertise. Thank you again Murphy, I am really grateful!

I've never used any lawyer's services, therefore, I was a bit unsure about how to approach my situation or whether it was even worth the trouble. But, as soon as I stepped in I felt heard and understood, which made me realize how important my claim was no matter how deceptively small it seemed at first.

Cogent´s professionalism and dedication made what could have been a stressful and complicated situation, into a surprisingly stress-free and straightforward process. I received from Subi constant updates and advice regarding my case, and multiple options on how to approach the next step.

I cannot recommend Cogent Legal enough, especially Subi, who managed my case throughout, making everything feel much less overwhelming, demonstrating true professionalism. Thank you!

I made a mistake to chose Cogent Legal to represent me, for me to spend large sums of $7554.10 for the soulless solicitors.
As a solicitor firm requested deposit in the trust total of $7640 to take legal action against a terrible building company. By the end I was charged by the solicitor the total of $7554.10 and the remaining balance that was return to me was $85.90. The solicitor was not able to recover any losses that I the client incurred from the bad builder. Instead I incurred more financial cost from this legal firm. The firm did not contact me for many months and waited until I reach out constantly to ask for updates so that they can charge me for contacting the firm. The firm also charge me for calls by the solicitor that I don’t pick up. The firm also kept writing expensive ineffective letters to the builders even though the builder don’t responds, until $7554.10 in the trust are used up.

I believe that before drafting claim and statement of claim to take to court, a solicitor should have the responsibility to conduct an asic check first to make sure that the builder company is not liquidated. So that the client does not incurred unnecessary charge of $1485. This $1485 is what the solicitor charge me to write an unusable piece of draft pdf.
After drafting the letter the firm then email me that the firm checked asic on the building company and don’t recommended to take this draft letter to court to pursue the builder as the builder company already been liquidated 3 months prior. The result I receive from this firm is even more financial loss. This firm is soulless.

UPDATE: I say everything with accuracy. I will reference it with images of invoices from cogent legal. Such as being charged for miss call by the solicitors. I even receive a deed to settle with the final invoice to be refund. Which I shouldn’t have been charged with to begin with as the place already was liquidated many months prior Cogent Legal should not have written the unusable draft to begin with. To try to get me to remove my honest review about my experience with Cogent Legal. I have not agreed to this minimal amount that Cogent Legal try to settle with as I am unhappy with many more of the charges such as the charge for unanswered calls. See my reference photos. I did not want to have to post little details but you aren’t honest when saying that my review are inaccurate. I have the right to stay anonymous in the public. Cogent Legal already know who I am and try to settle deed with me for the minimal sums of $1485 to remove this honest review about being charged the total sum of $7554.10. I’m unhappy about many of the service here and your response to try and disregard my review.

Immigration law is so complex with far reaching consequences for individuals.
Subi provided subject matter expertise, advice and guidance, navigating our family through a stressful period to positive outcome. We felt heard throughout the process and Subi’s ability to balance positivity and manage our expectations was incredibly useful. We couldn’t recommend Subi and Cogent Legal more highly.

I have used Cogent legal for various issues as a business owner. My most recent experience with Ceila was excellent. Ceila is highly knowledgeable about the law, she is focused on settlement rather than court and she provides excellent reassurance and solutions throughout the process. I always felt like she had my back, understood where I was coming from and she provided excellent and sensible advice along the way. I would highly recommend her to anyone
