One of the most prominent law firms that can help you in civil litigation is Gregson & Associates. Founded in 2018, they’re recognised by organisations like Doyle’s Guide and Australasian Lawyer as one of WA’s top law firms.

Currently, their civil litigation services address disputes over wills, trusts, and estate administration. You won’t have to worry about being billed heavily, as they only charge fixed fees for their services. They even offer special discounts to pensioners and concession card holders!

Furthermore, they’ve invested in remote client identification technology. This allows them to accept cases anywhere in WA and have their clients verify their identity and sign documents digitally.

Unfortunately, their focus on handling estate litigation makes them highly unlikely to accept other cases, like debt collection and injury compensation. If you’re unsure whether your case fits their specialty, you can contact them for a free initial consultation.

They worked hard to help us get the best results

“Teressa and Her Team were extremely helpful and understanding of our situation. They worked hard to help us get the best results for our family in such a difficult time. Would Definitely recommend Gregson and Associates for Wills and Estates, if you want the best results possible.”

I would 100% return if needed

“Go with Gregson. I’m glad I did. My lawyer is Craig, his negotiation skills and strategies are impressive. His team is equally impressive, I have been their client for about 12 months during 2020 – 2021, and I would 100% return if needed.”

Rebus Legal is a boutique law firm started in 2017 by Gordon Yenkanna, a lawyer with 19 years of experience. They’re one of the best choices you can have for civil litigation, as they can tackle cases related to defamation, debt collection, estate disputes, and more.

A key thing I appreciate about them is their flexible payment plans. You can pay off your legal fees with them in instalments, and you can also hire them as a retainer under their fixed-fee legal packages.

It’s also worth mentioning that they can do home appointments for those who prefer conducting their strategy meetings and consultations in the comfort of their homes. Furthermore, they offer free phone consultations that you can access 24/7.

Sadly, as a boutique law firm, they only have a small team of lawyers. This severely limits the number of clients they can help at any given time.

My matter was dealt with effectively and with great success

“I recently had Gordon and his assistant Alyssa help me with a legal matter. From the moment Gordon took on my case he was fantastic. Easy to talk to and was there for me and whatever I needed along the way. Alyssa made sure to keep me informed with any changes to my legal matter and I felt I was contacted ASAP whenever there were any changes. My matter was dealt with effectively and with great success.

I cannot thank them enough for their efforts!”

I am within good hands

“Faris And Liam from Rebus legal took on my case with a relatively short notice despite them having a very busy schedule with other clients. They both guided me through the court process with very high levels of professionalism assuring me that I am within good hands. They managed to achieve an outcome much better than we had all planned for which I am very pleased with. I would recommend anyone with legal advice needs to visit Faris and his team at Rebus legal.”

Another award-winning law firm that can help you settle disputes in court is Solomon Hollett Lawyers. Ever since their establishment in 2015, they’ve won several awards, including the Australasian Law Pursuit of Excellence Award in 2019.

I believe their wide range of specialisations helped them win this award. When it comes to civil litigation, they can confidently tackle cases related to inheritance disputes and commercial disputes.

They can even provide assistance with business fraud recovery. Specifically, their lawyers can provide rapid remedies and strategies to secure your assets and regain misappropriated funds while your case is still being tackled in the civil court.

Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that their lawyers sometimes arrive late to their appointments. That’s extremely disappointing because their legal fees are a bit pricier than average.

His advice strengthened our position to achieve a favorable result

“A single conversation with Andrew had us feeling like a huge weight was lifted from our shoulders. It was clear that he was carefully considering every word, and providing us with professional and clear advice to help our situation. He was very reassuring, and his advice strengthened our position to achieve a favorable result. I have no reservations recommending the team at Solomon Hollett Lawyers.”

Has been an absolute godsend for us

“Brandon Hetherington has been an absolute godsend for us in a very difficult and stressful estate matter, which the Executor had been mishandling and dragging on for many years before we bought Brandon in to act. Prior to this, his advice and guidance kept us sane. All our enquiries were handled promptly and saved us from many sleepless nights. Without his help we would still be in estate limbo. We can’t thank Brandon and Jessica Spee enough for their professionalism, empathy and support. They have got us through and we can now finally move on. Hopefully we never need their services again but I wouldn’t trust anyone else with such important matters.”

If you’re a foreigner who suddenly found themselves involved in a civil case in Perth, then Robertson Hayles Lawyers should be on your radar. They’ve been around since 1958 and have been known for accepting international clients from countries like Singapore, France, South Africa, and the USA.

Of course, they have a multilingual staff that’s fluent in multiple languages aside from English, including Mandarin, Arabic, and French. This ensures they can maintain proper communication with their clients, no matter their nationality.

When it comes to civil litigation, they cover a lot of ground—intellectual property, building contracts, and property disputes, to name a few. They can both launch and defend claims at all levels of the Australian court system.

Sadly, despite their stellar reputation, they’ve been criticised from time to time for failing to respond to enquiries on time. 

Amazing, efficient and effective with handling several of my legal issues

“Kevin and his associates from RHL lawyers in Perth have been amazing, efficient and effective with handling several of my legal issues. With family law, he has been compassionate and understanding of the stressors that I was undergoing. With business law, I appreciated their encompassing knowledge and experience which ensured I had a fair agreement. Their legal network and experience within and outside of Australia helped with mitigating the process when cross-border challenges arose. I highly recommend their wide-ranging legal service.”

I am grateful and thankful for the outcome of my case

“I was fortunate to have Jeremy London represent me in my recent legal battle over my Fathers estate. Jeremy was very extremely professional yet compassionate and understanding with my circumstances especially since I also live in Sydney. I would highly recommend Jeremy and his team at Robertson and Hayles for their professionalism and I am grateful and thankful for the outcome of my case.”

While Curae Law is probably a name that’s new to most Perthites, they’re actually one of the oldest law firms in the city. Formerly known as Birman & Ride, they have over four decades of experience in the industry.

For their civil litigation service, their team of lawyers can file claims and defend against cases related to trust disputes, company ownership disputes, and more. What’s amazing is that you can pay for these services easily thanks to their fixed fee model.

If your budget is tight, you’ll be glad to know that they provide litigation funding assistance. They have contacts in the city who are willing to shoulder your legal costs in exchange for a portion of the proceeds you’ve won.

However, I don’t like that they charge a $440 fee for initial consultations. That’s already a lot of cash for many people.

Best legal firm l’ve dealt with in WA
