Best conveyancing & property law firms in Perth Metropolitan
These are Perth Metropolitan firms for which conveyancing and property law is a core, named service, ranked by our methodology, which weighs rating, review volume, recency, and sentiment rather than star rating alone.
General legal reputation (across all practice areas, not just property) is ranked separately on best lawyer overall. This list narrows to firms with a genuine conveyancing or property law practice, which is why some well-known general litigation names don't appear here.
Picks are ranked by score and relevance to conveyancing & property law, so a lower overall score can rank higher here.
1. Clairs Keeley Lawyers
4.6 (71)score 81/100
Clairs Keeley posts the strongest all-round score on this list, built on a high review volume, near-perfect recency, and an 87% five-star cohort. Property and estate clients get the same itemised, upfront-fee approach that family law clients praise for turning disputes around in months rather than years.
Watch out: One older review noted a lawyer declined to take an aggressive stance on asset pursuit, though this is an outlier against otherwise strong sentiment.
Services: wills estate planning, commercial business law, conveyancing property law, family law
2. Lawmax Legal
4.9 (31)score 79/100
Lawmax Legal is a pure conveyancing play, with David Muller personally handling transactions and a near-perfect 4.9 rating. The review count is smaller, so treat the score as promising rather than proven, but everything on record points to smooth, delay-free settlements.
Watch out: Lower review volume than the top-scoring firms, so the track record, while strong, is thinner.
Services: wills estate planning, family law, law firm, legal services
3. Lynn & Brown Lawyers
4.3 (93)score 71/100
Lynn & Brown handles straightforward conveyancing, wills, and estates at fixed prices, with named staff like Steven getting specific praise on property matters. The catch is consistency: alongside clear advice, some clients report chasing unanswered emails or facing bills well above quote.
Watch out: Some clients report unresponsiveness and bills running significantly over the original quote.
Services: conveyancing property law, family law, wills estate planning, law firm
4. Genuine Legal WA
4.3 (141)score 70/100
Genuine Legal WA runs a streamlined, app-based model with fixed-fee options, and clients who work well asynchronously online praise Andrea King's direct advice and quick turnaround on straightforward matters. The high review volume gives this score real weight, but sentiment is genuinely split.
Watch out: The Base Camp app replaces phone contact, and some clients report slow document edits or a defensive response to complaints.
Services: wills estate planning, free consultation, family law, legal services
5. Doray Legal
4.7 (14)score 69/100
Wilfred Doray earns consistent praise for strategic thinking and keeping costs lean, with clients highlighting clear explanations during stressful matters. The review count is low, so this is a promising, not yet proven, pick worth a call before committing.
Watch out: One review flagged unclear communication about additional funding needs, though this dates back several years.
Services: wills estate planning, family law, law firm, legal services
6. Paterson & Dowding
3.5 (13)score 59/100
Paterson & Dowding has been operating since 1967 and Craig Taylor draws specific praise for thorough case preparation, but the record here is genuinely mixed, with serious complaints about data security and fee disputes sitting alongside compassionate service for other clients.
Watch out: Complaints include a data breach, slow case progress, and disputes over fees, so results vary sharply by reviewer.
Services: wills estate planning, free consultation, trial attorney, family law
7. O'Sullivan Davies Lawyers
3.3 (31)score 53/100
O'Sullivan Davies has named staff like Kim Morrison and Trevor drawing genuine praise for empathetic handling of separation matters, but the overall sentiment here is negative, with a long, repeated pattern of costs far exceeding initial estimates. Include this one with eyes open and get a firm written costs agreement before signing on.
Watch out: Multiple long-running complaints describe fees ballooning well beyond quotes, filing errors, and clients pursued through court over disputed bills.
Services: family law, law firm, solicitor, civil law attorney
