Thank you Teresa! I first met Teresa at The Citizens Advice Bureau Perth, where she was volunteering her time. Right from the start Teresa showed her professional, attentive and caring manner. I was welcomed warmly and shown support as soon as I walked into West Coast Legal. Teresa's ongoing expertise and guidance helped me navigate through a stressful property settlement and divorce. Teresa gave more than I could have ever expected. Thank you Teresa, and the team at West Coast Legal! Tina D
My experience with Teresa Sutherland at West Coast Legal has been nothing but pure relief in my family law case. In such stressful circumstances, I put my faith in Teresa and her team to represent me and my children and therefore had the best outcome. My children are happy, safe and thriving and our future is bright as ever. Even though I cannot put a price on our desired outcome, I believe, all costs have been absolute fair. Thank you team at West Coast Legal. 🙌
I have given this score for reasons as follows; First point of contact with this firm over the phone, Kelsey is knowledgeable, empathetic and showed considerable emotional intelligence compared to many professionals I have spoken to in this field. Secondly, Teresa was efficient, professional and very ethical in dealing with my matter. I believe if I persisted with my prior representation my costs would've blown out considerably. I really appreciated her quick turn around and legal problem solving ability that I believe has saved me a significant amount of time, money and stress. Thirdly , Tannis was a very reassuring presence in a time of crisis. I always left our interactions feeling more confident and less stressed. I appreciated her expertise and understanding. Finally, anytime I needed help and rang West Coast Legal a lawyer or solicitor would answer the phone. This meant a very quick answer to any queries where I would be waiting weeks for any response from previous representation. Collectively, with their expertise, understanding and emotional intelligence they have taken a lot of the burden and heartache out of resolving my family law matter.
I am soo appreciated for tannis and her team for gaining custody with my child I highly recommend this firm they do amazing job even if the case is complexed…….5 stars all the way to tannis and her team
Tannis and her team have been simply amazing. I have been thoroughly impressed by the assistance I have received and the kindness and compassion shown at every stage.

Your effort in getting the case resolved in such a short time has been appreciated more than words can express. Thank you all for restoring some peace in my life.
