Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"What we appreciated most about working with Morgan Solomon was his extraordinary ability to absorb and process information on his feet and cut through peripheral issues. A good lawyer needs to remain calm, collected and outcome focussed throughout a tough negotiation. Morgan ticked all of these boxes, and more. He’s also a wonderful guy and really easy to work with."

Brandon Hetherington
"Brandon and the team and SHL were excellent to deal with. Their advice was clear and articulated in a manner that I could understand. They worked to some critical deadlines that I had which was very important. I would highly recommend and will certainly use their services again in the future. I would like to recommend Brandon Hetherington, Brandon has been amazing. Without his professionalism I probably would of going crazy. He explained everything in layman terms, which was great. Thanks once again, if you need a lawyer this is the place to go."

Review for Jessica Spee
Jessica Spee
"Recently we consulted Solomon Hollet Lawyers to deal with some family matters on my behalf. In relation to a will. They were fantastic. Professional right from the start to the end. They made the process very comforting indeed. Originally I got onto them via a way of a 15 minute free phone call which I found on the internet. Jessica Spee was our lawyer and we established an awesome rapport with her. What was originally thought to be a massive headache for us was made very simple by Jessica. Her staff were professional and outstanding in their customer service delivery. Thanks Jessica your a total professional and I cannot highly recommend her and her company enough. Thanks a heap Jessica"

"This firm is friendly, helpful and accessible - from the first person that answers the phone, they make you feel welcome and at ease. I had a consultation with Morgan Solomon and cannot recommend him highly enough. His early advice, for which I am incredibly grateful, has most likely saved me from a lengthy and expensive legal battle and many sleepless nights worrying about my situation. Morgan is not only an expert in his field, he is excellent at explaining applicable laws and the pros and cons of different courses of action to his clients. Thank you, Morgan, and everyone at Solomon Hollett Lawyers."

Review for Andrew Bower
Andrew Bower
"Andrew Bower represented me in a very messy business partnership dispute. Andrew’s professional conduct, court mannerisms and high quality of work was amazing! His knowledge of the legal system and attention to detail gave me peace of mind every step of the way. The last 12 months have been a stressful legal roller coater ride and in December Andrew put a successful end to that chapter. I would highly recommend Andrew and I cannot thank him enough. Andrew Bower from Solomon Hollett law firm is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, pro active lawyer that owns the client's problem, and do everything possible to help the client succeed with great care, loyalty, passion and dedication. Strongly recommended. Andrew's professional advice and guidance has saved our business thousands and a lot of heartache. Highly recommend Andrew and Solomon Hollett Lawyers."

Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"We engaged Solomon Hollett to represent us (executors) in a challenging and frustrating Estate matter. We cannot praise both Morgan Solomon and Matthew Gunn highly enough for the extremely professional and understanding approach they took and their attention to detail. Their knowledge of both the law and estate procedures was second to none and their communication skills were outstanding. We settled the matter at mediation thanks in large part to their support and guidance. I would very strongly recommend them."

Review for Craig Hollett
Craig Hollett
"I recently employed Craig Hollett when my partner required defence in a complex criminal matter. From the outset of this very difficult journey, Craig’s professional and approachable manner put me at ease. Navigating foreign legal processes was incredibly unnerving, but Craig’s extensive knowledge and patient explanation made the experience far less daunting. Craig was always available to me when I required advice and guidance, which made me feel as though there was someone I could trust in the midst of a great deal of turbulence. Although he was kind and reassuring, Craig was straight down the line and made sure I was fully aware of all possible outcomes, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. The compassion and genuine concern he showed was extraordinary, as was his unwavering performance in court. With Craig’s guidance, we were able to obtain the best outcome we could expect, and I will be forever grateful to him. I could not be more pleased with the service that Craig provided and would not hesitate to recommend him."

Review for Andrew Bower
Andrew Bower
"Our experience with Solomon Hollett Lawyers was nothing short of fantastic. We found ourselves in a tough spot when a client unexpectedly canceled a contract early, leaving us hanging with unpaid invoices and other charges for months. Andrew Bower, came highly recommended from another lawyer and lived up to every expectation. Not only were him and his team incredibly knowledgeable about the intricacies of contract law, but they handled our case with the utmost professionalism and expertise. What truly set them apart was their ability to translate all that legal terminology into layman's terms that we could easily grasp. It made navigating the complexities of our situation a breeze. Thanks to their guidance and skillful negotiation, we were able to resolve the matter in our favor. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! They consistently deliver exceptional service, demonstrating proficiency at every juncture. Highly recommended!"

Review for Brandon Hetherington
Brandon Hetherington
"The last few months have caused a significant amount of stress for me around an estate matter. I wasn't sure what to expect when I searched for legal assistance since I have never had to use the services of a law firm before. Other Google reviews led me to Solomon Hollett Lawyers where I found Brandon to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Just knowing that he was supporting me in this matter made all the difference and helped to facilitate a positive outcome."

"We are very grateful to Craig for his outstanding work. Craig was highly professional, clear about his role and what he could do for us and he handled our case with an incisive precision. Craig fully and respectfully explained the processes and complexities of the case in a language that made sense to us and he outlined in detail steps that we had to take. What impressed us most was his willingness to understand the complexities of our Church structures and laws and take on board our principles and concerns. We cannot recommend Craig highly enough."

Review for Brandon Hetherington
Brandon Hetherington
"Brandon Hetherington has been an absolute Godsend for us in a very difficult and stressful estate matter, which the Executor had been mishandling and dragging on for many years before we bought Brandon in to act. Prior to this, his advice and guidance kept us sane. All our enquiries were handled promptly and saved us from many sleepless nights. Without his help we would still be in estate limbo. We can't thank Brandon and Jessica Spee enough for their professionalism, empathy and support. They have got us through and we can now finally move on. Hopefully we never need their services again but I wouldn't trust anyone else with such important matters."

Frequently asked questions

What types of commercial disputes can your Perth dispute resolution lawyers handle?

Our dispute resolution lawyers are equipped to handle a wide array of disputes including commercial conflicts, contract disagreements, partnership issues, property disputes, and personal legal conflicts. As a leading commercial litigation law firm, we tailor our approach to suit the specific nature and complexity of each case.

What’s the difference between mediation and arbitration?

Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating discussions to help both sides reach a mutual agreement. Arbitration, on the other hand, is more like a private court where an arbitrator hears both sides and makes a binding decision.

How long does the dispute resolution process typically take?

The duration will vary depending on the complexity of the dispute and the chosen resolution method. Mediation could take a few hours to several days, while arbitration and litigation might extend over several months or even years.

Is dispute resolution confidential?

Yes, dispute resolution processes like mediation and arbitration are typically confidential, providing a private forum for parties to discuss and resolve their issues.

Can dispute resolution be more cost-effective than going to court?

Generally, yes. Methods like mediation and arbitration can be more cost-effective as they often require less time and resources compared to formal court proceedings.

What happens if a dispute cannot be resolved through mediation and arbitration?

If mediation or arbitration does not lead to a resolution, parties may proceed to litigation, where a court will make a binding decision on the matter. Our commercial litigation solicitors are ready to represent you effectively in court.

Do I need a lawyer for small claims or minor disputes?

While not always necessary, having a lawyer can be beneficial even in small claims or minor disputes to ensure your rights are protected and to provide guidance throughout the legal process.

How can a dispute resolution lawyer help?

Our dispute resolution lawyers in Perth can provide legal advice, represent your interests, prepare necessary documentation, and guide you through the resolution process, ensuring that any agreement reached is fair and legally binding.

What are the chances of settling a dispute outside of court?

The chances vary depending on the dispute’s nature and the parties’ willingness to compromise. Many disputes are successfully resolved out of court through mediation or arbitration.

How do I prepare for a dispute resolution session?

Preparing involves understanding the facts of your case, gathering relevant documents, considering your objectives, and being open to negotiation. Our dispute resolution lawyers can help you prepare effectively by outlining key issues and potential strategies.
