They strung me along for 7 years. Charging me for things here and there promising me a big payout then one day out of the blue they told me they were dropping the case and sent me a bill.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IN THE NT!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IN THE NT!!!!! I used Maurice and Blackburn because I thought they fought for fare. All they did was charge me over $60 000.00 in "mediation costs" got me a pathetic permanent disability payout and told me to Go Away. I'm still on Workers Compensation because they can't and won't do anything but gut you dry. I was born in Darwin and this low act is just so typical of the NT.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU SEEK HELP FROM A TRUE LOCAL BECAUSE ALL MAURICE AND BLACKBURN WILL DO IS TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE AND GUT YOU.
HEED MY WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
I guarantee you that you will regret using them 100%

estate lawyer

I needed an estate lawyer - signed up with Maurice Blackburn - then found out estates is ran through cairns office not locally - rarely spoke to solicitor, was given contradictory info, all direction I needed to research myself - it was a mess - initially thought the person I was speaking too was solicitor- only a paralegal - felt like Chinese whispers

Amazing Job Katie and Zultan

Katie and Zultan tons and really tons of appreciation you actually deserve because what you actually did for me no one does it nowadays, by handling my very case. Great work!!! I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. Katie and Zultan you keep a positive attitude in challenging situations. You’ve done a tremendous job and the whole team.

With Gratitude

I have huge admiration, respect, and gratitude for the Maurice and Blackburn team in Darwin NT. I found myself in a very challenging and uncomfortable situation in relation to a workplace issue. I reached out to M&B for guidance. I have been treated with absolute compassion, dignity, and respect throughout the process. In particular, Margot Holliman, who has been an incredible support. Margot has always had the time to take my calls, respond to emails, and keep me updated on my case. She shows incredible knowledge and understanding of the, more than often confusing legal aspects of my situation. Always taking the time to explain to me the step-by-step process, providing clear factual information with compassion and understanding. I actually cannot thank Margot enough for her support and guidance to get me through the many challenging months. Highly recommended M&B for any legal issues you are needing.

Avoid this firm like the plague.

Avoid this firm like the plague.
I have had a lot of experience dealing with lawyers throughout my long career. I worked for years for Liquidators and Commercial finance. Dealt with hundreds and this firm is the worst I have ever encountered. They can talk the talk with the best but are rotten at walking the walk. Sacked them half way through and dealt with a good firm. Like a breath of fresh air. I cannot warn anyone about them enough. Do NOT believe their BS. Better call Saul. Even he would be better

In Maurice Blackburn's first response they called me Greg. Name is Geoff as they well knew.
Typical example of the quality of their work
They have now fixed but only after I corrected them

I had a simple question relating to a Will and I needed interpretation with 2 clauses in the Will. I’m also an executor of the will which is lodged with Maurice Blackburn. There was not one lawyer or solicitor in the whole organisation who could help me. There were some friendly staff who initially listened to my concerns but I was shuffled from one department to another, until finally I was told that they can’t help with that sort of question. You would think the wills and probate, as well as the contesting a Will department of Maurice Blackburn would have at least one lawyer who had expertise in Will interpretation but they don’t have anyone who can help you if your’e uncertain what the clauses in a will mean. How can they possibly facilitate fair outcomes for anyone if they don’t have the ability or knowledge to answer basic questions?Anyway now I have received a reply to one of the clauses through legal aid which clarifies the whole will, Thankyou legal aid. I didn’t want to contest the Will, I just needed clarification on a couple of clauses in the Will, that’s all. And what about the lawyer who actually scripted the Will, surely he would have known what it meant.

Hi Diana, We’re sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations. As there were already solicitors engaged on the matter and you chose not to proceed with engaging us for probate services, we were unable to provide advice on this matter, which is why we referred your case elsewhere. Hope that helps provide some clarity, and we wish you all the best. MB.

Common law

My name is Biruk Wakene and I am from Melbourne. I had workplace injury and walked into Maurice Blackburn Lawyers office to ask for assistance to get legal service. I have been assisted with my personal injury case and I found Maurice Blackburn Lawyers are genuinely caring throughout my entire process.
As a result of their hardworking and wonderful legal service I have been compensated for my injury fairly. what I observed from the outcome was it doesn't matter what your background is they will help you and it is a place of equality.
I highly recommend associate lawyer Ivana Pajic and her wonderful team for their very caring and successful results at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. I would like to say thank you for your legal service.

Poor representation of the very start

Poor representation of the very start. Added expeditionary to my trauma and stress from my accident. Ended up in a very bad position where I took matters into my own hands and Sacked them after 12 months. Took another 12 months to get back on track. Had to go to the governing body to get a fee schedule which I was entitled too and the governing body agreed and they received a slap on the wrist. With that as I already knew I was severely overcharged. Unnecessary emails and drawn out phone calls. After settlement they continued to charge uplift fee, they had nothing to do with the case being won yet continues with the VULTURE mentality. Do not consider this firm at all to represent you go elsewhere. Be warned you will be treated as a dollar symbol.

Hi Scott, thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience with us. The fees payable following you obtaining alternative legal representation are consistent with the costs agreement signed and in-line with professional standards. This was confirmed by an independent cost assessor who prepared an Itemised Bill at your request. We wish you all the best, MB.

Even though it turned out Maurice Blackburn Law firm couldn’t help me i feel they deserve the highest rating possible. My problem was dealt with with great empathy and understanding. My situation and options were explained clearly in a language I could understand right throughout the process. Every time I called I felt heard and understood which helped me through an extremely difficult time in my life. I can’t recommend and commend them enough.

Worst Lawyers Ever ,Number Zero

I had a claim with MB which dragged on for 2.5 yrs.In this time i had only 2 ph conversations with 2 different lawyers & they changed lawyers 4 times.I finally sacked them & went with a more professional firm who got me 5 times what MB quoted.Mb still billed me for doing basically no work & when asked for itemised invoice wouldn't supply one.I will be contacting the legal practise board about this.All i can say is don't waste your money & go elsewhere.In answer to what they replied,they never tried to "reach out" lol they are liars.Number Zero lawyers & i use that word loosely.

Thank you Maurice Blackburn

What a wonderful experience I had from the team at Maurice Blackburn Toowoomba. Although I live in Brisbane, dealing remotely with Kaylee and Tanisha has been a absolute pleasure. They kept me up to date, always answered any questions I had and were very open and honest. The entire TPD claim process took just six months which I was very surprised at. Thank you again for your wonderful service!
