Butlers Lawyers & Notaries - Nedlands, Western Australia

Capitaine Bonhomme

This is a honest and genuine balanced review from a real previous client (me).

Here's the the good news and the bad news about Butler's from my experience.

The good news:.
John Butler comes across as highly experienced, was good at establishing good rapport.

The bad news:.

It cost me $10,000 over a two month period, without any progress made, and in fact it was a regression.
John assigned me to his most junior lawyer, who is new to the firm, and didn't come across as competent to manage my complex case. Despite my repeated requests to John to assign a senior lawyer to my case, for some reason, John wouldn't simply give me a more experienced lawyer and stood by her most junior lawyer.
It cost me a whopping $10,000 over a 2 month period with that junior lawyer who is incompetent and inexperienced. Results were no progress at all... In actual fact there was regression.

Court hearing was a disaster as the other party's lawyer, who is experienced, comes across as aggressive, confronting personality, and that other party lawyer refused to engage with butlers junior lawyer and completely overwhelmed her at the Court hearing. In addition, the other party's lawyer refused to respond to any letter from butler's and was even bragging about it in Court.
Finally, despite the fact that I had paid and settled the account, the junior lawyer, presumably bitter about me terminating her services, refused to return my documents that I had supplied her.
Not very professional.

Butlers gave me great service. I was a Law firm newbie and had an international case that was causing me a lot of stress.
They were prompt in answering my questions and facilitated a U.K Lawyer that was first class which made me feel safe.
John Lawley and Cameron Bunney were excellent to deal with so were the desk and admin staff. I even got some money returned to me, 10/10 service, thanks.

I needed to get some initial advice on a potential legal matter. I was treated with respect, and my matter was explored in detail. I was very happy with the advice I received and am ready to fully engage their professional services should the matter proceed. I highly recommend Butlers

Lack of support especially after the trial, I feel abandoned by Butlers and am left to find another lawyer to assist me with my follow-u.

Weak cross examination of witnesses and overall representation for the co$t. I feel like legal aid would have gotten me the same outcome.

My case file was lost in the mail and had to be resent as well stalling my progress after the trial.

I highly recommend Butlers Lawyers & Notaries as a firm if you're looking for family legal advice. The minute I walked into their office and had my first initial consult with John Lawley, I was confident that he had everything in hand and knew what he was doing. I immediately felt a shift in the heavy load I was carrying on my shoulders that day. Thankyou John and team, words can't express how grateful I am to your firm for all your assistance.

Words don't seem enough to thank John Butler, Natalie and his team for such a great outcome! Very professional outfit all round, very accomplished, direct, prompt, efficient, no nonsense response but also very empathic and caring of his clients. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending John and his team for a great result!

I have been through 2 legal firms prior to engaging Butlers and I have found that these guys are exceptional, and know exactly what they are doing. I have also been financially struggling and Butlers have helped me by working with me on trying to reduce elements of work where it was not needed. Highly recommend Carly from the firm, I followed her from my previous legal firm because of her excellent work, and I continue to be impressed by her and also by the support that John Butler has provided to my case! Thankyou to the entire Butlers team (including Rob and the girls who support Carly), you are all amazing!

I Definitely recommend Butlers Lawyers, I used Rachel Porter to represent me in court for my case I had been issued with in regards to traffic offences and could not have been any happier with the end result and the support I had received from Rachel through out the sentencing. Thank you so much for taking on my case.
Regards,
Chris Blow.
