What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Business owners and individuals facing court proceedings in Mandurah describe a practice that supports them through complex and emotionally charged matters. Several customers highlight the work of Trent, often alongside Jodie, Jordan or Sophie, praising the clarity of advice and the care taken to explain each step. A recurring theme is communication before, during and after a matter, with clients saying they felt heard and confident even when the firm was busy. Business clients note that advice was practical and commercially focused, and that strategies were devised to reduce legal costs and reach the outcome sought, including in a dispute lasting close to a year.

Others describe representation arranged at short notice, with serious matters resolved efficiently in court. Honesty, professionalism and reasonable, upfront costs are mentioned repeatedly, as is the patience shown in guiding clients through unfamiliar proceedings. The willingness of staff to stand behind clients and their families over extended periods is a point that comes up often, alongside the speed with which urgent matters were handled. The firm covers criminal justice, employment, estate planning and business matters.

Paid for a consult and was requested to provide an email, did so no response. Receive an email later on stating its closed due to inaction, rang the office was told someone will be in touch, rang several times after and left messages no answer , emailed no answer. Very bad communications and customer service in my experience would recommend HHG legal much more professional in terms of attitude and returning enquiries

Trent and Jordan have been exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, knowledge, and support have made all the difference during a challenging time. They communicate clearly, handle everything with care, and give me complete confidence throughout the process. Despite how busy they are, I always feel heard and supported, and they approach everything with dedication and professionalism. I’m extremely thankful for their hard work so far and would highly recommend their services.

I engaged Trent and the team at Petherick Cottrell during a very prolonged and difficult business dispute that ran close to a year. Trent ultimately delivered the outcome I was seeking and stayed the course through an extremely complex and emotionally charged matter. The advice provided was practical, commercially focused, and grounded in real-world outcomes rather than theory. Trent was prepared to have the difficult conversations when needed and helped bring a long-running dispute to a resolution. If you’re dealing with a business or commercial dispute and need someone who will see it through to the end, Petherick Cottrell are worth contacting.
