Forthright and truthful may put some people off but McDonald Murholme tell it like it is so that I knew exactly what to expect. Professional, communicative and I felt they were on my side the whole time. They really know and understand Australian employment laws
If i could give zero starts i would. ALAN is a con artist who is more bent than my dogs back legs. I wouldnt trust a word the guy says and his no win no fee is crap. He will force you out at the last second. You have been warned.
Didn t even read the rebuttal. Was a little lengthy granted but for a 500$ sit down you d think it be par for the course. No doubt a graduate from psychic school of law. Wasn t going to even keep the copy. I will get an email though,, no doubt with more generic information I m sure. Not disputi...
Refered by a friend who also had a successful outcome using this firm.
Attended for a consult, and was waived the initial fee due to my circumstances.
Was offered a no win no fee situation, also due to my circumstances.
Initially dealt with Andrew Jewell, who was lovely and helpful.
Was kept inf...
Very pleased with the quality and cost of the advice I received.
I am so pleased I chose McDonald Murholme to represent me. Andrew and his team provided outstanding service. Andrew was very frank and factual something that was vital in such a stressful time for us. Don't hesitate to call them you won't be disappointed.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend McDonald Murholme.
From the initial consultation, right through to the resolution process, the entire team was supportive, knowledgable and approachable and made what can be a difficult situation much easier.
Specifically Trent and Alexandra provided a high level o...
I have dealt with Daniel Mc Donald at McDonald Bolag Lawyers and he was patient and thorough in obtaining a Commercial lease & Disclosure statement with some complexities. He was quick and accommodated several changes that we had decided to add. I could not recommend him highly enough.
Choosing the right employment lawyer can be difficult.
I was very fortunate to choose Mcdonald and Murholme.
I was privellaged to have Michael represent me . An outstanding skillfull Lawyer. Highly experienced and knowledgeable .
Supported by a great ...
They are just out to rip you off. No win no fee is a complete fabrication. They tell you on the telephone that you have to pay a fee for initial consultation, then 'we will see about no win no fee'. At the meeting we provided an accurate chronology of all documents, conversations, actions etc. with ...
My Lawyer was and will always be Arthur at McDonald Murholme.
When I initially contacted Arthur, he didn't just 'hear' me, he listened to me. I contacted this firm because I had issues with another. I wish I'd done my research properly because if I did, the result achieved by Arthur and his team ...
I want to thank McDonald Murholme and particularly Trent and Talitha for their amazing work, guidance and support throughout my ordeal. They were transparent, efficient and always available. I achieved the desired outcome at affordable rates and cannot recommend them enough. At no point in time did ...
After my husband had lost his job in extremely unfair circumstances we didn't know what to do or where to turn. We found McDonald Murholme on the web and met with Trent Hancock. He gave us amazing support, guidance and professional consultation which resulted in a settlement in our favour without g...
Trent Hancock and his team were incredible, they helped me through a difficult time with compassion and diligence that resulted in a positive outcome for me. The provision of onsite parking for appointments made the trip to Melbourne so much easier. Thank you McDonald Murholme.
Thank you Sagorika Platel for the incredible professionalism and class you have displayed representing me. I highly commend your dedication and that of your colleagues.
Many thanks to Trent and his team for their expertise and assistance! Trent is truly a very brilliant lawyer! Very professional and highly recommended!
Visited yesterday and spoke to Andrew. The appointment was 25 minutes and was frank and factual. Andrew painted an honest picture of my situation and recommend I proceed without his services but gave me some vital tips.
Used those tips and by 10am I had the outcome I wanted. If you're made redund...
Highly recommend Mcdonald Murholme. During a very stressful situation they responded promptly and went over and beyond with their advice. Jason was great in explaining everything and returned phone messages promptly.
Could not fault them.
Trent Hancock and his team have been nothing but outstanding to deal with. Very efficient and kept me well informed along the way. It was a 6 month process that resulted in a positive outcome for me. Thank you McDonald Murholme I highly recommend you.
the solicitors at the firm were very prompt and action-ed my complaint against my employer very quickly. I obtained the result I wanted in fact I got a better result that I originally asked for. I was very pleased with the results. Would highly recommend.
I have been very happy with the service Trent and his team provided. Both their conduct and service delivery was very professional which resulted in a satisfying outcome for me. Many thanks!
I am extremely happy with my result and highly recommend McDonald Murholme. I was in very stressful situation and couldn't see any sign of resolving it. After I got consulted from McDonald Murholme, I got big relief and hope to get the solution. They make everything easy through their professionali...
Due to the sale of the business I was employed at and the new owners having their own staff my position was made redundant. Three weeks after notice of redundancy I began to receive correspondence from my employer that raised uncertainty whether I would receive my severance package.
I met with A...
I was put into a highly unexpected and stressful situation by my workplace whilst on maternity leave. Trent was able to gently guide me though the process which was possible to do via email and phone as travelling around with a little one into the city isn't that convenient. I don't believe that the...
Some time ago, I was going through the most difficult period of my life. I felt as though I was being hung out to dry and I had no place to turn.
That was until I contacted Trent and the team at McDonald Murholme. Not only did they make me feel like a person again, they helped me realise that yes...
Id heard all the radio adverts for this company and when I was called to a meeting with my manager and the operations manager to discuss ways how I can improve beyond probation period. I was told it would just be a discussion for us all to move forward and it wasn t disciplinary. I was wrong! I had ...
Extremely happy with the service received from all the staff members i had to deal with. The lawyer allocated for my case (Michael Kriewaldt) was extremely professional and handled the case very smoothly. Highly recommend their services.
Trent and his team were at all times professional, informative and sensitive to my situation. The advice I received was timely and effective and in turn am very grateful for the outcome. I would recommend McDonald Murholme to anybody who is in need of employment law advice and or representation.
I'd like to say that McDonald Murholme have treated me with nothing but professionalism and also great service.
Trent, a principal in the firm is attentive to your needs and will ensure your case is handled with care and mindful consideration to all parameters involved.
Alexandra, a solicitor ...
Extremely experienced and detailed in his work, Trent delivered the desired outcome in an effective and timely manner. I highly recommend the fresh and dynamic team at McDonald Murholme for complex employment law matters.
Extremely happy with the service received from Andrew Jewell. I was provided with steps to ensure I would get the best result from issues with my employer. All went well and it was worth the consultation.
Went to see them with a clear cut unfair dismissal claim. Didn't even get to the commission and we'd already paid them over 4k. Was advised it would cost another $2k plus to continue with the commission. When they'd finished 'negotiating' with the employer and we'd agreed on a settlement amount it w...
Mr. Trent and his team walked me through the process and did a job well done. I m very happy with the outcome.
I would like to thank Trent and the team at McDonald Murholme for successfully representing me. At all times I was kept well informed, whilst they addressed my concerns and removed the stress from the process. I recommend them.
The team at MM from the initial call to an outstanding outcome by Trent and the team is to be commended. Highly Recommend them!
Clare shears is really good, I recommend this very much, honestly , very responsible, and great results
Outstanding Lawyers. I was referred to them and I can't recommend them highly enough. After a very long stressful situation they were empathetic, professional and efficient.
I personally thank Alan McDonald, Alex Morrison and Arthur Hambas whom were brilliant in guiding me throughout the whole proc...
Very pleased with the service I got from McDonald Murholme. They were friendly yet professional and always kept me updated with how my case was travelling. If you have an employment law case, I recommend speaking to them.
A waste of time & money seeing this law firm. All looks good up front until you hand over a wad of cash & then you notice the attitude deteriorate. Was told we had a solid case of employment bullying. After we handed over our hard earned $$$, we were told that it would be best to walk away....with n...
Outstanding professionalism and service from the minute you walk in the door. I can't imagine there would be a better service provider in this area.
Trent and the team at McDonald Murholme were incredibly professional, empathetic and extremely good value for money. I would have no hesitation in recommending them - in fact, I already have recommended them twice!! Brilliant team and highly competent.
Absolutely disgusting, and aggressive. If I could give them a zero I would. Avoid avoid avoid. Poor communication and do not listen to the client at all. Pulled out of attending a serious meeting 2 hours beforehand because they were busy. Do not use. Side comment - he also called me up accusing me o...
Thanks so much to the ingenuity, persistence and empathy by Trent's team (Trent, Clare, Cassandra and staff).
Trent's team has acted professionally and with a personal touch by dealing with me as an individual with feelings.
They have always responded to my queries and have provided me with clear ...
I recently sought the services of McDonald Murholme pertaining to an unlawful dismissal by redundancy and was provided counsel by Principal Lawyer Trent Hancock. I couldn't speak more highly to the professionalism and thoroughness with which Trent conducted the consult, nor could I to the prompt and...
Very Professional and Empathetic. Trent and the entire staff were amazing and provided clear and concise information every step of the way! Could not have chosen a better representative.
Trent and the team helped me through my situation and delivered a winning result!
Please be warned, do not deal with this company. Make an effort to find a more reputable firm. Ask yourself, what sort of lawyer needs to advertise on prime time radio? A colleague was convinced by MM to sue her employer. Result, a lot of bad blood and a small payout, (of which MM took most of). Her...
I found Arthur Hambas & Katherine Boyles extremely professional & compassionate in my dealings with them. After telling Arthur that I felt the details surrounding my redundancy felt wrong he took on my case & secured me a better payout from my employer. I would not hesitate to recommend Mcdonald Mur...
Best solicitors for employment solutions. I did not know how wronged I had been by my workplace until I used their services and got just conpensation. They made me feel comfortable and were up front with what to expect. When it came to the end negotiation I was advised without being TOLD what to do....
Thank you Talitha and the McDonald Murholme team. At all times everyone there was professional, courteous and above all compassionate. I cannot thank you enough for what you did for me.
I couldn't recommend the team from McDonald Murholme more. Mr Sam Nottle was efficient, professional and achieved a wonderful result for myself. If you are questioning whether to go ahead with an employment matter legally, I would urge you to do so. The team at McDonald Murholme made the process eas...
Plenty of 5 star 1 review accounts for this place. No good.
The service that McDonald Murholme provide is exceptional. They kept me informed along the way. I didn't have to worry about a thing when I went on holidays and everything was sorted by the time I returned. Thank you for such great service.
Great experience! great result! Great people! Thanks again for all your support and advice.
Steered in the right direction to a firm that was more suitable.
But owned by them and then they kick you to street when you question why you must do all the fighting.
I appreciate that this has been very difficult for you. However, I think it is best that you obtain alternative legal representa...
I like their prompt follow up after speaking to their para legal/assistant however, they need to be aware of their tone over the phone.
My personal opinion, I found them very condescending when they said exact words Not Interested after hearing my case. I thought of letting him know how inappro...
MM were professional, transparent and offered fantastic advice. They explained the process clearly, made sure I was aware of the potential risks and then got me a more than favourable outcome. I highly recommend the team at MM.
Outstanding lawyers. Cant recommend them highly enough. Advice and work was extremely good and there communication throughout was first class. Would like to thank Trent Hancock and the team immensely for their outstanding service.
Thanks to Bianca and her team. I'd never hired a lawyer, so when stacked up against my expectations, the service was costly but worth it in the end. Great result!
DO NOT USE THIS THESE PEOPLE!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
ALL THEY ARE AFTER IS YOUR MONEY!!
IF I COULD GIVE A NEGATIVE STAR RATING I WOULD.
THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.
I was advised by a friend to see McDonald Murholme as he had heard their ongoing ad on 3AW, having helped people with...
Visited their office in Feb and was seen by one of the staff (not a lawyer). She took notes and told me that a lawyer would be contacting me in the next couple of days to discuss my case. They never called me. I guess they decided it wasn't worth the effort.
Thank you to Alan MacDonald and his entire excellent team at MM for their support, understanding, encouragement and sheer persistence!
I had dealings with Alan Mcdonald several years ago . I would not trust him. Very unprofessional bordering on Dodgy
We would like to Thank McDonald Murholme, for all the help in assisting my Father to work with his company to work out a family orientated Roster.Thank you Trent and Michael for your support and guidance.
Thank to the team at McDonald Murholme everyone who I have spoken to and who worked with me I can't thank you enough, without your help and what you did for me I wouldn't have gotten through this without you guys, they really do listen and care not only that they find the best outcome for you.
Hi...
after having fraudulent claim put agents name resulting in termination of my employment. Jason and his team took on the challenge to right this wrong, I was able to walk a way with a clean name & financial compensation. Jason & his team were very companionate & fast to respond the fees were reason...
If you need an employment lawyer I would recommend you go and find someone else.
On communication they are poor
On responsiveness they are extremely poor
On giving you the right facts they are poor
I gave them one star because I couldn't give them zero
Thank you especially to Alex Morison and Alan McDonald. You both made a very stressful situation a lot easier for me. I was comfortable leaving everything in your hands as I knew I could trust your judgement.
I am pleased to be able to put this time behind me and move on because of your advice and...
My son and I called several law firms including 2 of the larger ones regarding what we thought was a case of unlawful dismissal. Neither of them would consider seeing us, however McDonald Murholme did. Alan McDonald was very honest and gave us invaluable advice. It was money well spent and I cannot ...
Allan is a pleasure to talk to, if you are upfront about things then he will try his best to do all he can for you.
Outstanding lawyers! I contacted McDonald Murholme to review some legal documents. The team there were super supportive, explained everything, where fully upfront about pricing and different legal options that I had. Their team worked quickly and I was really blow away by their thoroughness, thought...
Well that was a fairly horrible experience, NO WIN NO FEE is somewhat of a grey area with McDonald Murholme, which you find out AFTER you sign their contracts of course. I ended up going with one of the more established employment law firms and when I brought up McDonald Murholme to my current lawye...
We received fantastic service from our lawyer Trent and the team at McDonald Murholme. I would highly recommend this company for anyone needing expert advice or help in Employment Law.
I highly recommend this firm.
Arthur Hambas and his team (Jason Xue + Kirsty Wakelin) exceeded my expectations.
They were not only professional but also very compassionate and supportive with my highly stressful workplace issues.
Much to my surprise, Jason was available at short notice to attend ...
These lawyers are the best! If you get sacked from your job, just come here and they'll help you fabricate a story to take your ex boss to the Fairwork the commission. They explained the whole process to me that Fairwork commission is a no cost jurisdiction and its cheaper for your ex boss to just p...
They are very helpful and friendly. Specifically Mr.Trent.
I found the staff and lawyers to be very understanding and helpful, in what was a very stressful situation. My settlement exceeded expectations, and the fees were very reasonable. Thank you all.
Outstanding service. Cannot recommend them enough. Trent and his team firstly took the time to understand my issues and worked hard to present the best possible case. Very happy with the results. Totally Professional and made me feel totally supported throughout.
Fees to pay, but worth every penny.
Extremely dissapointed.
I personally feel that going with McDonald Murhome was a total Waste of time and money. I did not have a good time with them. It was a nightmare. Never again
I found the team at MM excellent - they were extremely responsive, consistently kept me up to date with what was happening and provided good sound advice. Thanks Andrew and Annalise!
Worst lawyers ever! Do not recommend them. Do your research first.
I was referred to McDonald Murholme and Trent Hancock by a friend and they were fantastic. My employer was refusing to pay me what was rightfully owed to me and Trent resolved the matter within two weeks and I was paid all of my entitlements. All for what I thought was a very fair and reasonable fee...
Made me feel comfortable and informed through the whole process. Thank you Talitha and your staff.
I ve invested good time researching for the right employment law firm before I selected McDonald Murholme. I contacted them when things started to turn into the "grey area" with my employer, they stepped in and turned around what could otherwise be an extremely unfair and unjust loss of employment s...
Called for employment law issue, General Manager shrugged me off saying it was not in their area of expertise.... I'd suggest not advertising it is then!
The A-Team Alex and Alan, saved my job can t thank them enough for their efforts. Highly recommend they will fight to help you. Ever so great full, thank you ever so so much.

Great advice provided. Easy location to get to if you want to drive
Terrible! Before getting your money back, remember to prepare at least $10,000 first. No guarantee of anything but ask you to put money first. They don't care how much money you can claim back, all they care is every minute counting for $$$. No constructive suggestions at all. I spent $250 for half ...
Highly recommended - professional, informative and caring, McDonald Murholme are champions in the true sense of the word. Not only did they look after me in a legal sense, they also looked after my emotional state as well, not too sure how many other companies would do that. Every person I had conta...
I can't thank McDonald Murholme enough for the exceptional service and advice they provided me in relation to an employment matter.
