Hi Peter


It has as you know, been a trying experience to say the least. I just want to thank you personally for your concerted effort in trying circumstances and now finally getting the result worked so hard for. Well done.


Talk to you soon.

Thank you
Geoff and Jennifer Baker

Dear Mark, Peter, Rebecca and Julio,


Thank you for all the hard work you have undertaken in preparing and organising the lease extensions for the Waikiki Specialist Centre.


We appreciate your diligence in providing Dr Robinson with the document he was seeking, and doing so in a timely manner with regard to our Finance.


We are most grateful.


Kind regards,


Jennifer and Geoff

Hard work and professionalism
Carmen and Paul Riley

Thank you for your hard work, professionalism and attention to detail with our settlement.


We really appreciate the time and effort you took to communicate with us and to make sure that everything ran smoothly. We have bought and sold a couple of properties over the last few years and this has, by far, been the easiest and smoothest process we have experienced – all down to you – and we are so grateful. 

Understanding of complex issues
Con Manetas, Managing Director, Leed Risk Services

Thank you to the Murfett Legal team who together worked tirelessly and beyond my expectations (including weekends) on my recent successful joint venture and merger with a national broker partner. Their understanding of the complex issues and willingness to work in collaboration with all stakeholders resulted in a positive outcome.

 

Valuable Contribution
Brian Higson, Founding Partner, Realising Potential Pty Ltd

It is important to find good, practical partners to work with and you provided a valuable contribution in keeping us on the straight and narrow from a legal perspective. Murfett Legal were incredibly practical and the most engaging legal person that we have found in our decades of doing what we do.

 

Productivity
Peter Dowling, Managing Director, Australian Life Planners Pty Ltd

Thanks Peter for the efficient way you carried out this transaction.

Superb Service
Director, consulting company

Many thanks Peter for your superb service – payment has been made of your invoice on the day it was received!

Finance Health
Yves Schoof, Specialist Adviser for Medical Specialists and Surgeons

One of my medical clients recently experienced a very problematic property settlement. Thanks to Peter's proactive, effective advice the matter was dealt with very quickly, and my client saved precious time and money in the process.


The level of service and communication Peter provided is very hard to find these days.

Creditor Dispute
David Ham, Ledge Finance

I have referred my clients to Murfett Legal for over 10 years and will continue to thoroughly recommend them!


Recently I had a client who had a creditor dispute that was well over 6 months of discussions and they were still no closer to receiving payment. Enter Jason and Murfett Legal team – the outcome being that full payment was "negotiated" and repaid in full and my clients are absolutely delighted!

Fishing Place
Hayden Drinovac, Client Services Manager, Insight Business Partners Pty Ltd

Thank you for the meeting with [my clients] yesterday, I was very impressed with the way you ran the meeting and educated the clients as you went along. I will certainly refer future clients for estate planning in the future.


We also have another high wealth lobster fishing client who needs a trust deed update, change to a corporate trustee from four individuals and a title update on a commercial property that they hold in the superfund once the corporate trustee is swapped over.

 

Asking a Lawyer
Hon Michael Mischin MLC, Attorney General; Minister for Commerce

I have been advised that you generously offered your time and knowledge of commercial law at the semi-finalist sponsor session earlier in the year, and understand your presentation was very well received. The Department of Commerce is fortunate to have supports such as you who are dedicated to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in Western Australia and ensuring the success and sustainability of local businesses.



Once again, I thank you and Murfett Legal for another year of support and look forward to the ten year anniversary of the program in 2016 and building on our relationship to achieve greater social and economic benefits from Western Australia.

Fantastic and fast result
Leah Billingham, Director, Insite Commercial Interiors

Thanks again for your assistance and diligence in attending to this.



What a fantastic and fast result

Landlord
Tim & Kimmy Chapleo

I want to share with you my experience of the assistance my wife Kimmy and I received from Murfett Legal.



In short, I don’t feel that I could praise them enough. I cannot find fault with any of the work done throughout the entire legal process. I saw them exercise the highest levels of skill and expertise and maintain always a genuine concern for our case and outcome.



My association with Murfett Legal will always fill me with a feeling of gratitude as they rescued us from a terrible situation. Moreover, they returned us to a financially secure position, a better quality of life and importantly allowed us to know that justice was done in the end.



Our recommendation is the strongest we can give and is truly heartfelt.

Favourable commercial outcome
Con Provataris, In Front Australian Business Solutions, Finance

In our capacity as Private Lenders Australia Wide we often come across clients who have many pressing issues.



For us to lend to such clients we often require the client to engage solicitors that can act quickly and professionally in order to produce a favourable outcome for that client.



I have no hesitation in referring clients to Murfett Legal as their professionalism, ability to act quickly and ability to obtain a favourable commercial outcome is unparalleled.
