What recent reviews say

Strong client relationships marked by knowledgeable staff like Daniel and Yashar Bahmani who explain complex matters clearly, yet significant frustration over fees that ballooned beyond initial quotes (from $6,000 to $20,000 in one case; $2,500 commitment became $10,500 in another) and poor communication handling. Reviewers praise case outcomes when satisfied but report feeling let down by lack of clarity, staff turnover on their matter, and lack of transparency on rising costs.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Common questions

Do fees stay within the initial quote?
Not always. Reviewers report quotes that grew significantly: one family case quoted at $6,000 ended at $20,000; a transport matter quoted at $2,500 reached $10,500 when scope changed.
Are routine phone calls and emails charged separately?
Yes. Reviewers report being charged for phone calls to check case status, email replies, and letter reading, in addition to base fees.
Which staff members get positive mentions?
Daniel, Yashar Bahmani, and Sam are named in five-star reviews for clear communication and case outcomes.

Staff here earn consistent praise for guiding families through wills, estates, and powers of attorney with care and competence. One dated complaint flags unresponsiveness to quote requests; current reviews show attentive service, though contact method quality remains unclear.

MDH Legal handles property settlements with calm expertise and genuine care. Reviewers consistently praise named staff-Cathy La Verde, Melissa Dixon, Sacha, and Rhianan-for staying patient, answering questions thoroughly, and guiding clients through complex transactions so they never feel lost. They serve residential and commercial conveyancing, wills, and estates across Western Australia. Their track record is deep: many clients return for multiple settlements, and staff willingly advise beyond their direct scope. The team explains legal terms plainly and keeps you updated at each step.
