Julian Johnson Lawyers has earned consistent praise for handling medical negligence claims with expertise and genuine care. Reviewers highlight how staff like Tanya Watson and Kim Bavin took on difficult cases and delivered strong results, even when other firms declined. One older complaint noted initial unresponsiveness, but recent reviews consistently emphasise prompt communication and clear explanations throughout the legal process.
Max Crispe offers criminal defence with standout lawyers who score wins in court, but client experience swings sharply depending on who handles your file. Some staff like Margot and Carole earn praise for thorough preparation and wins; others spark frustration over slow responses, cost-first attitudes, and neglect of clients awaiting trial.
Over 15 months or longer, reviewers consistently report being guided through difficult family matters by a team that listens without judgment and explains legal steps clearly. They name Elvira, Elle, Stephanie, Anique, Nevena, and Jacinta as professionals who follow up quickly, adapt to clients' financial situations, and fight for fair outcomes in court. Service ranges from restraining order advice to property settlement and custody disputes, with reviewers often noting they switched from other firms after feeling unheard. The team balances expert knowledge with genuine respect for the emotional weight of family law.
Rebecca and Rowena led clients through lengthy divorce and family law battles with genuine empathy and solid legal outcomes. Yet a small group found the firm dismissive during vulnerable moments: one reviewer felt judged and stereotyped, another faced minimisation of domestic violence concerns, and a third waited weeks without promised follow-up documents. Most staff (Maddy, Joie, Juliet, Daniel, Sarisa, Mariam) earned praise for being calming, helpful, and clear. The Subiaco office itself was described as welcoming. Yet communication breakdowns and what some perceived as arrogance created friction for clients already under extreme stress.
