Weizhi's legal team is very professional, and the staff's service is enthusiastic and thoughtful. It is a trustworthy law firm.
The first appointment didn't contact me, waited two hours, and made another appointment a week later, but got contacted but talked a lot of meaningless nonsense... Wasted 20 minutes.
Very good

Very professional and patient, the perfection of their work can enable customers to achieve the best results in the shortest time. This is my second time hiring them and they have not let me down every time👍
A team of professional lawyers provide adequate advice on family law and immigration law
Very good. The lawyer quickly answered all the questions I wanted to know👍
I am disappointed at the legal services provided by Anthia Tan,. As my lawyer at Verge Legal, she never responded to my request for a legal consultation and did not attemp to address my queries when the opposing lawyer's actions generated legitimate concerns for me. The basic duties for a lawyer to fulfill towards his/her clients is to use the legal knowledge and resolve the questions of the clients. If the lawyer is unable to do that, how can the law firm win the trust of its clients? Eventually, I have to take my complaints to the Victorian Legal Services Board and Commissioner for resolutions. The VLSBC has advised me to resolve the disputes in VCAT. I hope Verge legal should take my case in a serious manner in VCAT.
Thank you for your professional service, which gave me some basic understanding of relevant legal issues. I really want to entrust you to handle them all, but I don't want to take up too much of your precious time, so I will deal with some related matters first and then ask you for help. I wish you a prosperous career.

Eric is professional in his work, from the beginning until the end of the matter. He calls to follow up and and ensuring in providing the right advice. No hesitation in referring friends to Eric!
A reliable and responsible law firm. With the mentality of giving it a try, I made an appointment for a half-hour free consultation. A lawyer actually called on time to help me sort out the case and gave me a pertinent and correct solution. They did not fool me into hiring them to litigate the case just to make money. I am very grateful to the lawyers at your firm for spending their precious time to help me with the free analysis. If necessary in the future, I will definitely give priority to your firm.
Nice customer srvice with very Professional advice. Highly recommend for anyone who needs legal help.

I have consulted other law firms, but the solutions to the problem were not very satisfactory. Through Verge’s free phone consultation, Attorney Han helped me find the most satisfactory solution. If I have any legal issues in Melbourne in the future, I will seek help from Verge.

This company is really good and very responsible. Just for consultation, they will explain it very clearly, in detail, and very patiently. If you need help from a lawyer, you must find a lawyer here. It is trustworthy.
Very punctual, trustworthy, strict procedures, scientific, orderly and impressive.

The lawyers at Weizhi Law Firm are very trustworthy because when I asked about the legal matters during the first free consultation, lawyer Tan introduced me in detail about what to do first and what to do next, which was completely different from other lawyers. Just one sentence. Integrity
Great consultation, much more reliable than other providers, and answered all my questions. High praise!
During the free consultation process, he was eager to meet people's needs, thought about people's needs, was enthusiastic and professional, and is very worthy of praise!

A free telephone consultation was held at this firm. The lawyer is very professional and has clear ideas. Even in the free preliminary consultation service, the lawyer showed extremely high professionalism and patiently explained the current situation and what can be done next. I will recommend this firm to all my friends. I received a free telephone consultation service from this law firm. The lawyer was highly professional with a clear thought process. Even though it was just a free initial consultation, the lawyer demonstrated a high level of professional conduct, patiently explaining the current situation and outlining the possible next steps. I would recommend this law firm to all my friends.
I don’t know how this law firm got such good reviews. My experience with this law firm was very, very bad! After looking for their agent, I sent emails to ask questions but no reply was given. I agreed to reply to the emails but did not answer the questions I mentioned in the previous emails. After the appointment was made, I waited for a day and no one contacted me, repeatedly delaying my time and the case. In short, the whole process was a waste of my time and energy, and I did not receive any effective help or service for the high legal fees I spent!
The lawyer is very professional and the service is very good.
Christine is very patient and friendly during my application. She really cares about the feeling of the client. Eric is very professional and efficient when dealing with my case. Highly recommended!
Enthusiastic service, professional consultation, and satisfied.

Lawyer Han is very professional and explains the key points. Highly recommended.
Dwayne Ong was my solicitor for my property purchase. Dwayne made everything seamless and kept me updated at all times. Super professional yet approachable.
Dwayne was extremely helpful and patient, as well as prompt with his responses. As first time buyers, we appreciated how thorough he was in explaining every document. He supported us through every call, text message and email communications with agents, and even reassured us through banking hold backs over a weekend! I cannot recommend Verge Legal enough. Thank you again, Dwayne!
I had the pleasure dealing with Dwayne from Verge Legal with handing my affairs for my property. Dwayne went above and beyond by keeping me well informed from start to finish with my settlement. I would highly recommend Dwayne and his team from Verge legal for all your legal requirements. Five stars out of five!
It took a year and a half. I am very grateful to every lawyer and staff of the law firm. They are patient, careful and most importantly, considerate of me. They are a conscientious, responsible, professional and caring team. They make me feel more at ease after just two years in Australia.

I cannot express enough my gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful service provided by this law firm, especially Attorney Han. I came to them amidst a problematic housing situation, seeking advice about moving out of my rented property.
Mr. Han gave me meticulous and well-considered guidance, walking me through the process in a way that was both professional and compassionate. His instructions were so clear and effective that I managed to vacate my property without encountering any further issues with my landlord.
I am deeply relieved and thoroughly impressed by the careful attention and support I received from Attorney Han and the rest of the team at this firm. They've truly gone above and beyond to ensure my situation was resolved smoothly and in my best interest.
I highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are professional, reliable, and truly care about their clients. My experience with them has been nothing short of exceptional. Five stars well deserved.
