Woods & Day Solicitors: Commercial & Debt Recovery Lawyers - Sydney (NSW)

1 /5 Reid Jessica (ShineNSta): Found this firm on the internet and lodged an online enquiry seeking skip trace location and letter of demand service for someone owing me money. Received a call 13 January and was verbally told they do skip tracing and letters of demand. Was advised they should be able to help me but it may take time to trace the person. Quote was $500 roughly for both the LOD and tracing combined. They took details that I knew and said they would call me back to confirm we could proceed once they spoke to a senior lawyer. No contact for 15 days after that. On 28 Jan I phoned to follow up only to be told they had decided they wouldnt help me. When asked why, the person on the phone said she couldnt give a reason, they just couldnt take the case. Seems very unprofessional when the query was straight forward and I had sufficient information to trace said person. Not a good experience and a waste of 2 weeks of my time.

1 /5 Jeremie Saper: These are the bottom feeders of the entire world. I decided to get them to act for me as a small business that was owed $20,000 from an unpaid invoice from a customer they initially quoted me $3000 to act on my behalf to get the matter settled after months and months of back-and-forth. They have literally done nothing for me. They haven’t even acted in court. I have already paid them over $4000 and now they are telling me they are ceasing to act for me unless I put another $5000 in their trust account. These people are the biggest rip-off merchants in the entire world. Do not use their services. It is an absolute joke and a disgrace to an Australian culture to rip off a small business. You are disgusting.

1 /5 Alex Nedic: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Woods & Day Solicitors are the definition of rip-off merchants, preying on small business owners and hardworking Australians just trying to get by. Instead of offering real legal support, they operate like a cash vacuum—taking your money upfront, delivering next to nothing, and then demanding even more before lifting a finger. I engaged them in good faith, expecting professionalism and results, but what I got was nothing but vague responses, unjustifiable fees, and a complete lack of transparency. When I asked what exactly they had done so far to justify their charges, they couldn’t provide a straight answer—because the truth is, they had done absolutely nothing of value. And when I refused to blindly throw more money at them, they conveniently decided they “could no longer act for me.” This firm is a disgrace to the legal profession. They are the worst kind of opportunists, exploiting people who actually need help and then discarding them when there’s no more money to squeeze out. It’s the most Australian scam imaginable—bleeding small businesses dry while providing no real service in return. If you want to throw your hard-earned money into a black hole and be abandoned when you need actual support, Woods & Day is the perfect choice. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and find a firm that actually respects its clients. Avoid them like the plague.

1 /5 Natalie: Extremely disappointing experience. Communication was poor, and it felt like my case was not a priority. I expected professionalism and efficiency, but instead, I encountered delays, lack of transparency, and unfulfilled promises. Would not recommend

5 /5 Kapil Rahme: Great firm. Peter Woods is a highly skilled lawyer and is supported by a very competent team.
