What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Court appearances and general legal matters in Melbourne are approached with a thoroughness that clients repeatedly commend, with Daniel Moon singled out for his professionalism, preparation and composure in the Magistrates Court. Reviewers describe him explaining the court system step by step, especially for those facing their first hearing, and keeping them informed from the initial consultation through to the outcome. A recurring theme is the reassurance clients feel during stressful proceedings, with several noting that questions are answered promptly and that they are treated as people rather than case files.

Michael Sunderland likewise earns praise for his knowledgeable and measured handling of matters, described as calm and clear when unpacking complex legal situations. The practice covers criminal defence work, court representation and broader legal advice, and feedback frequently points to careful attention to detail and honest assessments of available options. Clients mention feeling supported and never judged, and they credit the outcome achieved to diligent preparation and a personable manner. Compassion alongside technical skill, and communication maintained before and after hearings, are the threads that run through the accounts.

I had an excellent experience working with Daniel Moon from MK Law. From the very beginning he was clear, knowledgeable and reassuring during what was a stressful situation for me. He took his time to explain the court system and process as it was my first time. He displayed a strong attention to detail, understanding and handled my case with professionalism. I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend his service to anyone needing legal assistance.

My experience with MK Law, and particularly with Marcus, was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this firm to anyone seeking reliable legal representation. I approached MK Law for help with a criminal matter. From the beginning, I felt that the focus was more on money than on providing proper legal guidance. Marcus quoted my partner $4,000–$5,000 just for a barrister to prepare a letter, which felt completely unreasonable for the situation we were dealing with. Because of the high fees and the lack of clear advice, we sought a second opinion. We ended up hiring another lawyer for $1,500, and that lawyer had the entire case thrown out, with all costs paid and damages awarded due to police errors. The outcome made it clear that the matter was straightforward — yet Marcus did not seem to understand this or provide any meaningful strategy. I strongly believe the owner needs to look into the situation with Marcus. In my personal experience, Marcus came across as unhelpful, dismissive, and more focused on charging large fees than actually resolving the case. It was frustrating and felt like a complete waste of time for me and for several friends who also had negative experiences with this firm. It is disappointing to see how far this firm has fallen. The original principal lawyer had a good reputation, but the current leadership does not reflect the same standard. In my opinion, the founding lawyer needs to review what is happening under their name, because the behaviour I experienced was unacceptable. This review reflects my personal experience and opinion, to help other people make the right decision.

I would like to thank Daniel Moon for having represented me and giving me the best possible outcome given the circumstances. He gave me reassurance when needed, was realistic about my options, and overall made my experience as comfortable as possible during my rough times. I would highly recommend Daniel if you're someone in need.

I just wanted to thank Daniel Moon for his support and utmost diligence though out my court appearance. I also want to thank him for really listening to me in the lead up to the appearance, it meant a lot.

We were incredibly pleased with the work Daniel Moon did both prior to and on the day of court. Nothing was ever too much, questions always answered in a timely manner and very personable. Would highly recommend to anyone. The work and the way in which it was presented was both extremely professional and amiable.

I immediately knew that Daniel understood the details of my case and that his intelligence and diligence would give me the best chance of overcoming the matter. His experience, professionalism and compassion made me feel defended from the get go. Luckily a good outcome too. Would highly recommend MK Law.
