David Luscombe & Associates - Cowes (VIC)

1 /5 Chrissy Be: Had to find another lawyer due to the complete incompetence of this place. I cannot believe a professional business would opt to ghost you rather than decline the case? Repeatedly tried to get in contact and was told they would send an email within the week (for about 3 months), this never happened. Agree with all the one 1 star reviews. Avoid this place.

5 /5 Tiffany Carraro: David is a very professional lawyer whom I highly recommend. It was a very bad time in my life & he was very forgiving. I’m keeping him on board. Thank you David!

1 /5 Natasha Ballard: I cannot stress enough how disappointing this firm’s service was. If you’re looking for responsive and professional legal representation, I highly recommend avoiding David Luscombe & Associates. I engaged their services in September 2024, paying a $1,000 deposit for a financial agreement. Unfortunately, communication was poor from the start. Despite my repeated attempts to get updates, weeks went by without any meaningful progress. And worse without any communication. Phone call after phone call was meant with inadequate rresponses and or no return calls. Elise, the solicitor handling my case, was apparently unavailable due to illness for 3 weeks after deposit paid, and the firm failed to communicate this or provide alternative support in a timely manner. Three weeks went buy with repeated phone calls to essntially silence. After then asking for a refund, I was reassured by Meaghan that my case would be handled promptly, but even after my instructions to proceed, further delays and broken promises ensued. The draft agreement, which I was told would arrive promptly, only came late and was followed by more weeks of unresponsiveness. The delays forced me to seek legal assistance elsewhere, as my trust in the firm had completely eroded. Despite this, the firm has refused to refund any part of the deposit, despite the obvious lack of timely or satisfactory service. It seems they are driven by money unfortuately. I do hope David responds publically here. If you are seeking service head elsewhere

1 /5 Ross Hudson: David Luscombe and his young associate staff are not the persons or firm for you, if you are experiencing serious anxiety and well being issues, and have your back to the wall in your personal circumstances. Not listeners. Not even capable of recording an accurate summary of your circumstances and the guidance sought at their reception point when you ring in in distress. Or is at problem at the solicitors end when they overlay their costs template .... and they dont understand, or see you as a good fit? Its not a good sign for one to be struggling to be heard and understood, when you receive a call back from young Megan, and then when you ring back anticipating a better response from the elderly boss David Luscombe hes in his own cone of silence and denial. Mention to him that youre in a vulnerable state, with mental health issues, regularly asked by your treating GP if youre having suicidal thoughts and that youre first and foremost wanting your circumstances heard and understood, by someone youre approaching for some legal support and representation ... and David will run a mile, shut down himself - and shut you down. Disingenuous, care factor zero, probably the worst yet. Receptionist Debbie raises expectations that Megan knows her stuff and is good, when she books in a call back for 3 working days time. She says Davids been around for a long-time and is very good. Lol, I was hoping so, but Debbies criteria and expectations of her colleague and employer is obviously alot different than what I desperately needed. They appear to be Cherry pickers looking for the low hanging fruit - so if you present at the front-end of a family law matter, where they can see and smell the opportunity for them to reap the cream and milk (get on board the gravy train) Im sure theyll treat you differently ... with welcoming opening arms! Beware. At least they showed the cut of their jib from the outset, and that they werent interested in even getting to know what was going on for me, or had the slightest inclination to go out of their way to see how they could support or help. One of the harder things in life it seems - to find a good lawyer. Dont waste your time trying here. Nothing to see, move on. Nothing to inspire confidence, move on. Everything to suggest a process driven cash register is just kachinging away here, move on. Very very ordinary experience, and typically unaccountable privileged people.
