Klimek & Wijay attracts strong praise for thorough case work and named staff expertise (Nic Coveney, Siobhan Clark, Vince Bradley), but recent reviews raise serious concerns about aggressive tactics, poor communication responsiveness, and insufficient sensitivity to the emotional impact on children and self-represented parties in family matters.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
All seven reviews are five-star. Clients consistently report feeling heard and supported by Michael and the team, particularly in family law matters. They praise clear advice, professional handling of urgent cases, and empathetic guidance through difficult periods.
O'Sullivan Davies divides sharply on delivery. Five-star clients credit named staff like Kim Morrison and Trevor with empathy and professionalism during separation and family violence matters. One- and two-star reviewers document a consistent pattern across 13 years: costs ballooning from initial estimates (e.g. $50K–$75K to $150K), avoidable filing errors, promised credits never applied, and pursuit of clients through small claims court days before trial. Multiple independent reviewers report charges of $50K+ for short matters, padded communications, and poor court outcomes despite substantial fees.
Reviewers consistently praise responsive staff and smooth handling of conveyancing and disputes. Michelle M. and Doug are named repeatedly for clear communication, quick turnaround, and problem-solving under pressure.
