I have had the pleasure of dealing with Sam Pendergast from Maddens Lawyers regarding an Estate matter. Sam has been extremely professional in all our dealings, always corresponding in a timely, friendly and clear manner. It should be said that Sam agreed to investigate my situation, after advice from two other lawyers that I did not really have a legal 'leg to stand on'. Sam's ability to think outside the square meant that we were in fact successful in my case. Thank you.

We recently settled the sale of a property as private mortgagor. Maddens ensured that our interests were protected and handled the matter efficiently and professionally. Paula was exceptional at keeping us up to date and in the loop with how things were progressing.
Thanks, Maddens.

Kerrie and Fiona were wonderful to work with and assisted us with purchasing our home. Fiona was incredibly detail-oriented and we felt so much more confident having her in our corner. Kerrie was always available to contact and was a lovely calm presence in a stressful environment! Highly recommend the team at Maddens.

Did our class action for the damage done to our property from the Mickleham fires in 2014 and received 7.31% of our legitimate uninsured loss claim most of which was obviously due to laziness in negotiating and the ridiculous costs for sending unecessary update letters (about 15 of them). If they weren't vultures picking on people in need they would simply put updates on their website rather than sending letter at such a charge. I'd claim direct from the at fault company if I had my time again.
