What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People pursuing motor vehicle accident claims, property settlements and estate planning matters make up much of the feedback for DCM Lawyers, and the accounts follow a consistent pattern. Several customers describe the reassurance that came from regular contact, with one recalling that a call would arrive just as they wondered how their claim was progressing, while reviews regularly refer to the patience shown when legal language was explained in plain terms. Eduardo D'Ambrosio, Ivan R, Nicole, Isobel, Scott and John are named in feedback, each credited with a considerate and thorough approach to stressful matters such as written-off vehicles, motorcycle accidents and not-at-fault disputes with insurers.

A point made in several accounts is the transparency maintained from first instruction through to settlement, alongside advice described as knowledgeable and pricing described as reasonable. The handling of negotiations with at-fault drivers and their insurers features prominently, including arrangements such as a loan vehicle at no expense. Work also extends to conveyancing, family law and personal injury matters, with customers noting that the inconvenience of a dispute was kept to a minimum and that matters concluded to their satisfaction.

Scott and the team at DCM Lawyers were excellent from start to finish. Clear communication throughout, handled everything professionally, and got a great outcome without any fuss. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend the services at DCM. I had a vehicle accident where my car was a write off, and Ivan was incredibly helpful, patient and thorough in dealing with my case as a 'not at fault' driver. Communication was clear and easy, I was always well informed of updates in the case, and I appreciated the fact that Ivan would explain legalese in ways that I could understand. This was quite a stressful thing to go through, but I'm really grateful for DCM's assistance in taking charge and taking major responsibility for the case so I wouldn't have to. I honestly felt a lot better and much more at ease knowing that I had great people working on my case on my behalf. Thanks again for all your support - it really made a huge difference.

My car was written off due in a motor accident. Although it took a few months before the at-fault Insurer finally settled, I understand the delay was due to DCM Lawyers working very hard to get the best settlement for my car. I missed my X3 dearly, and appreciate DCM's (especially Isobel's) professional assurances and efforts, for my best interest. Thanks Isobel.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Ivan and the team at DCM Lawyers highly enough. After being involved in a serious motorcycle accident that wasn’t my fault, Ivan was empathetic, communicative, and professional from start to finish. He took the time to clearly explain every step of the claims process, making what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. Ivan and the team worked hard to maximise my claim for my motorcycle and riding gear, and they kept me informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise and support, my claim was resolved quickly and with minimal stress. If you’ve been involved in a motor vehicle or motorcycle accident, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend DCM Lawyers. Thanks again, Ivan, for all your help!

After experiencing the traumatic experience of a car accident, DCM Lawyers were truly sensational. Attentive and very professional. Contact through-out the entire process was outstanding. Eduardo D'Ambrosio was my point of contact. Anytime I had an enquiry, Eduardo was welcoming, thoughtful and genuine in wanting to assist. Times I thought "I wonder what's happening?", low and behold, I would get a phone call from Eduardo that afternoon. I was also very, very pleasantly surprised in how quick and efficient DCM were in dealing with my case. From my initial phone call, to the disbursement of funds, it felt like a very smooth cohesive experience. Not a rush, then a lag, then a rush. Thanks to Jess and Eduardo, I was kept informed the entire way and was included on all emails pertaining to my case. I am cynical by nature and wasn't sure what to expect. I was expecting ambulance chasers and instead, I was seen by the Doctor! I could not recommend DCM Lawyers high enough. They will always be my first port of call for relevant matters and I will be recommending them to every Tom, Dick and Harry.. Thank you guys for making a terrible event, into something that was handled with care, professionalism, expedience and fantastic communication.

Ivan and the team at DCM Lawyers handled my husbands claim after a motor vehicle accident and they were absolutely amazing. Professional, great communication, supportive and went above and beyond to help us in what was a stressful situation. Highly recommend DCM Lawyers and can’t thank them enough!
