Milan is “Mr Not Guilty” I had a two day trial and was represented by Milan. He was extremely thorough and treated the case with the time, effort and respect I needed. It was make or break for me and Milan got me the not guilty verdict I needed.
We had a matter before the courts that derived from business and then turned pesonal. Whilst I really wanted a trail, Nick was honest and upfront from the begining and got us the result we were after for far less then the cost of going to trial. He even refunded us some money which was a pleasesent relief. Nick was very possionate in his area and was dominant and professional in court. Im glad we have squashed and put the matter to bed. Im greatfull to now have Nick in our network and can honestly say you want him on your team representing you. Thanks Nick!
By far the best Lawyer. He is very professional and responds same day. He has a passion for what he does and it shows.
Nic, recently represented my daughter, and did the impossible, he is the most professional, down to earth, get the job done lawyer I have ever dealt with, answered any of my questions quickly and kept us in the loop through the whole process, highly recommend him, so glad he was on our side. Big thank you to Juliette, for recommending Nic to us, our hero, thanks Nic, Nicole.
From the initial engagement with Nick, and throughout the court process I was treated with respect and given realistic advice. And beyond assuring me he would professionally do his best to ensure the best possible outcome, he also advised me of the things I could do to also improve my defence. Nick was punctual, communicative and also extremely respectful of my time with appointments. Highly recommend!
Outstanding work from Milan and the team. Professional, diligent and thorough. Couldn't have asked for a better result to my case. Highly recommended.
I cannot recommend Nick Scerri and Milan Bevk enough! They are very professional and won’t give any false hopes and try their hardest to get the best outcome for you! Straight to the point and explain everything in great detail so you fully understand everything easy. I honestly can not say anything but such a positive experience during such stressful and daunting time. Definitely recommend highly !!! If in need of an Amazing Lawyer don’t hesitate to contact Nick and Milan !!! I can’t thank them enough !
This is a AAA+++ Service. Professional, intuitive, kind & thorough. Nick and his team are worth every penny and more. You cannot expect anything more from another practice. If you have found yourself to need someone in this field, spend the money and get Nick!!!
An absolute professional especially when it comes to the important things. True to his word with a clear way of explaining how the system works. We are very lucky to have been looked after by him. He deserves a 100 star Rating. Thanks again Nick to you and your team
Fantastic lawyer
Nick is a great people person. He will tell you straight and go above and beyond while ensuring you are put at ease. Thank you Nick you a great person :)
Our family has never needed a lawyer before. Trying to navigate one was extremely challenging. I contacted at least ten of Perth’s Law firms and spent a lengthy amount of time searching and chatting to firms to find the right lawyer. Then I called Nick from Scerri Legal Criminal Lawyers. From our very first phone call I immediately felt at ease for the first time since our ordeal started. Nick took the time to listen and gave good sound advice on this first phone call. Nick was calm and down to earth and I felt like it was going to be ok for the first time since we found ourselves in this unpleasant situation. Nick is a genuine and sincere man who is generous with his time and it’s clear he cares for his clients.This was evident from my first phone call to him. On our first meeting, he explained everything to us in terms we could easily understand and was always very responsive when we had questions outside of our meetings. Nick showed a deep understanding of our personal situation and demonstrated empathy throughout the legal process. This helped a great deal to get through our difficult time. We are thrilled with the results and the cost. If anyone is looking for knowledgeable lawyer at a great price then I would highly recommend Nick.
Nick is great working with young people. He is clear, honest and supportive. All at a reasonable price. Thanks Nick we really appreciate your work.
The best possible outcome for myself, Great communication, friendly with clear options and excellent value for money spent.. highly recommend.
Nick is approachable, communicates promptly, shows empathy and understanding and listens! His advice was invaluable and I would highly recommend Nicks services if you are looking for the best possible outcome.
honestly so glad i met Nick, he’s an amazing lawyer. he has a great confidence which definitely help me ease a lot. Nick definitely knows what he’s talking about and throughout the whole situation nick was there to guide me and update me.
I felt completely supported and confident that Both Nick and Milan listened, understood and would do their best to achieve a positive outcome. Very easy to talk to and extremely responsive to any form of communication l chose to use. Would definitely recommend. They are fair, honest and extremely professional.
From a recommendation, I rang Nick Scerri Legal and from that moment I found the lawyer I felt was for me. That’s a decision I’m glad I made. Having spoken to other lawyers, Nick immediately showed more care and concern for my situation. He was assuring and diligent to no end, and prepared me for the journey that would eventuate. This situation was all new to me but Nick and Milan always had time for a call or text to answer my questions. I got a result I thought wasn’t achievable early on and now it gives me the confidence I need to deal with the next issue. I would never hesitate using Nick Scerri Legal moving forward. I appreciate everything they have done for me and my family, Thanks Nick and Milan.
I’d like to commend Scerri legal team for representing my elderly uncle Michael Wall who was unjustly excused of crime that he did not commit. Their professionalism enabled uncle to fight an unjustified charge & win with no criminal conviction recorded as it should be! The stress that uncle suffered due to the charges laid against him in itself are criminal! Thank goodness there are still good people in the world willing to fight for justice & stand up for our most vulnerable! From myself & the family we are Internally great full to the team at Scerri Legal Criminal Lawyers!
I highly recommend Scerri legal ,Nick and his team are so incredible and professional with a understanding of the trumer of being wrongfully charged. Having my charger dropped
I contacted Nick about a matter that wasn't at the stage where he could take me on as a client (and may not end up at that stage either). However, he still was very patient with me over the phone and was beyond helpful. I am very impressed and grateful. Should my matter go further, I will definitely be seeking Nick's help and expertise. Thank you very much, Nick! Highly recommended
I definitely got lucky when I found Nick Scerri to help me. He delivered a great result when it was absolutely needed. Drama free service, super fast response and great value. Nick is the lawyer you want looking out for your best interests. He is highly respected by all in the legal community for good reason, an absolute professional. Cannot thank you enough, cheers Nick!
I was recommended Nick by a close family friend and I’m so glad I was! From the moment I spoke to him on the phone I felt comfortable. I was quite anxious and he reassured me, he was super friendly, straight forward and very professional. He answered all my questions and he replied to my texts and emails so quickly. The result in the end was better then I could’ve ever hoped for, he went above and beyond. I am forever grateful for his hard work.

I was referred to Nick Scerri by a good friend, and from the moment we first spoke on the phone, I knew he was the right lawyer for me, having spoken to several other lawyers previously. It was immediately obvious to me that he genuinely cared about my serious situation and was very keen and professional in his approach to my matter from then onwards. Nick always answered his phone and responded to messages and emails very promptly. He handled a great deal of material supporting my case in a very tight time frame and always kept me well informed. Nick was honest and genuine in his advice and prepared me well for all possible eventualities. Due to his incredible representation in court, the outcome was better than I could have hoped for and his fees were very reasonable for the high level of service he provided. I wish to publicly thank Nick Scerri for his diligent work on my case and recommend him to anyone needing a criminal justice lawyer.
Thank you so much Nick.
Nick was very helpful and honest about my situation Would highly recommend him
My hubby was referred to Nick Scerri by a friend, so glad we gave him a call. His level of professionalism was amazing and he was very straight up from the beginning. Easy to contact and always answered emails in a timely manner. Had excellent outcome on the day. Great at what he does, highly recommend!
Nick was awesome throughout the whole process and I couldn't be happier with his service, professionalism and ultimately the outcome. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone who is in need of legal services.
Trustworthy and their knowledge of the law was second to none.
After hunting around for lawyer I came across Scerri Legal who didn’t charge me an arm and a leg for an E license. Nicks advice was super easy to understand and he made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. The price was very reasonable which was the other great thing. So thanks again Scerri Legal for all your help.
I have been through a range of barristers, from big names to legal aid. I can assure you that they all have nothing on Nick Scerri. The key here is how much this man prepares for a case. That’s like rocket fuel for your defence. When we walked out of the court room for the first time, I was so elated that I called him the Mohammed Ali of ‘mouth jitsu.’ I was stunned and elated at his courage in the court room. Crossing when necessary and just delivering an air tight defence- simply put, high calibre! I cannot recommend Nick more highly. Seriously use this man to maximise your chances in the court room. I’m still grinning at the outcomes Nick has achieved in my cases. Strangely, for a lawyer, you are one of the good guys, you don’t promise rainbows, call a spade a spade, get great results and charge fairly – a rare breed. If you want a prize fighter defending you, SERIOUSLY call this man…
Fantastic down to earth lawyer. Willing to put in the extra yards for his clients. Couldn't recommend enough. Thanks for your help Nick!!!
Thanks Nick and Vanessa. With the little time and information you were afforded you were exceptional. Professional and on point with your craft. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we will highly recommend you to anyone needing your services. Many Thanks Todd and Nat

Nick is a reliable, honest and highly regarded professional. Since day one of meeting Nick, i felt comfortable and confident that we could successfully reach our targeted outcome (which we did). There was never any nonsense and the price was more than fair. I highly recommend Nick for anyone that is in need of an excellent criminal lawyer.
Nick was well prepared and dealt with the issues at hand promptly and effectively while being very reasonably priced, highly recommend for anyone requiring legal representation.

Great service. Nick knows his stuff. Highly recommended.
Nick did an excellent job representing me. From the moment I was charged up until my court date, Nick was very pleasant to deal with and he was very confident in court. I can get on with my life now, I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you Nick. You did a such a great job and I am very very very happy with the outcome of my case to say the least. The whole process was terrifying, but you were a great help to me and you were fantastic in court! Thanks again. Highly recommended!!!!
