Porter Scudds

Highly recommend Porter & Scudds team especially Sutherlan. Awesome service and very professional. Thank you all very much.

Cannot recommend Porter Scudds enough, especially Cameron Cole. I was charged with 11 offences, one of which was mandatory 6 months imprisonment. I should say I didn’t cause harm, or ever attempt to harm to another person. I was given 6 weeks bail by the magistrate to “spend time with my family and friends before the inevitable as the evidence was overwhelming”. After 470 days of being on bail, being treated like family by everyone at the firm, and attending Start Court, as recommended by Mr Cole, I was sentenced with suspended fine of $5000 and given a spent conviction. If you are willing to do what’s required of you (get clean, don’t reoffend, do something such as Start court if you’re eligible, never breach bail etc), these guys will do everything else as good as can be imagined. They really treat you like you’re part of their family as well which is extremely comforting and makes a big difference. Thank you for saving my life.

Great result with Jeremy and his team. From the first initial consultation with Cam he was understanding of our situation and did great legwork in the begging for us. Once we started dealing with Jeremy his professionalism and no nonsense approach was exactly what we needed. During trial he was brilliant and achieved a great result for me and my family. We could not be more happy with the work of Jeremy, cam, and all involved. Much appreciated and would highly recommend.

Thank you to Sutherland and his team for his excellent work and dedication to bring justice to our bothers trial. He prepared the case with the facts, prepared the evidence precisely, and reassured and supported our brother along the way. The last two plus years have been hugely stressful for our family, and we are grateful for his legal expertise and the successful outcome. We would highly recommend Sutherland to anyone seeking legal representation.

Highly recommend Porter Scudds who were able to get a great outcome for a recent matter for us. We dealt with Abbie who was professional, knowledgable, available to talk to at any time, had a great attention to detail and friendly polite manner. Thanks Abbie and team, much appreciated.

Porter Scudds Testimonial The case against my father looked overwhelming at first but the team at Porter Scudds broke down the Prosecutors case piece by piece and got the hidden evidence to expose the lies, show the truth and demonstrate the innocence of my dad. The strength and power of the teams’ cross examination not only uncovered the WA Police Detective’s failings to investigate the case on factual evidence…choosing instead to build their case on confirmation bias, but also elicited admissions from the Complainant leaving the Complainant no option but to admit to the court they had lied in both their police statements and again under oath. Within an hour of the jury going into deliberation, they returned a verdict of not guilty, acquitting my father of all charges. The entire Scudds team were invested in our case working tirelessly to ensure my father was afforded the best defence possible. Their determination, professionalism and dedication to our case is unequalled. The risks were high, however Abbie’s attention to detail together with Jeremy’s experience, legal expertise and strategic advice provided us with the confidence that my father went into court with the best chance of proving his innocence in it’s entirety.

The good news about this firm: 1. Sutherlan, comes across as an excellent, very good active listener, very well organised lawyer who happens to be both solicitor and barrister. Sutherlan established excellent rapport with me. Very sincere, very honest. 2. The first hour for free is genuine. Not a trap. Very refreshing to see that. In actual fact, we had probably 2 hours. Very impressive, very professional. The bad news: 1. Unfortunately, Jeremy, the senior lawyer, with 30+ years experience, is a bit overbearing and not inclined to listen. Jumped too quickly to conclusions without considering the facts or read the materials. 2. Without any warning or direct personal communication from either Jeremy and Sutherlan, the next day, secretary called me to tell me they won't take the case. I frankly don't understand. Not the most professional way.
