Family law firm with strong experience but polarising approach. Five-star reviews praise thorough casework, named practitioners Vince Bradley and Nic Coveney, and cost control. One-star accounts report aggressive tactics, medical record misuse, and poor responsiveness after payment. The firm's strategy appears to prioritise winning over client wellbeing, particularly in contested 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.
Five-star reviews praise individual staff for empathy and professionalism during separation and family matters. One-star reviewers document a pattern spanning 13 years: initial estimates ($50,000–$75,000) ballooning to $150,000+, critical errors (rejected affidavits, unfiled subpoenas, cancelled court dates clients weren't told about), and the firm suing clients for outstanding fees within days of promised credits going unapplied. Three recent detailed complaints describe poor quality work, missed evidence, inattention to instructions, and the firm's refusal to acknowledge mistakes. Outcomes are polarised: some clients leave grateful; others incur tens of thousands in additional costs with new firms to fix matters OSD could not complete.
Most clients experience attentive, knowledgeable lawyers who explain complex matters clearly and guide them through stressful situations with genuine care. Named lawyers including Sam, Enore, Caley, and Amy earn repeated praise for expertise and emotional support. However, some report slow turnarounds, uneven phone responsiveness, and mixed experiences when working across teams.
