I wanted John to be my lawyer however got appointed to Blake. Blake is totally unprofessional, unorganised and frankly incompetent. Throughout my correspondence and appointments with him, he was running extremely late and didn't have paperwork ready. When I entered his office he wouldn’t even get up and greet me professionally. Overall, he seemed uninterested and incompetent to assist me. Wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Take your money elsewhere where they have more experience than just a dude operating a firm like a child. Waste of time and resources.

Would recommend Wadlow solicitors, Blake was extremely helpful and knowledgeable
Experienced lawyers. They treat their clients with respect.
Very professional friendly service.
One of the worst days of my life. I had been going back and forth with the ex wife for over a year through lawyers, then when i finally had my first court hearing, neither my lawyer or my barrister turned up. Instead john wadlow was sent to represent me, i was not told about this until 2 minutes before the hearing, and john had next to no knowledge of my case. During the hearing john agreed to things that i would of never agreed to, for example, i am not even allowed out of the car during handover of my daughter now, its been a year since then and my girlfriend has had to facilitate every single handover of my daughter 10 times per fortnight because john agreed that i would never get out of the car although i have to be there still so it takes two of us. John didnt raise the points in court which i asked him too and consequently my time with my daughter was not increased at all, despite the courts child specialist recomending i get overnight care. My daughter turns 4 soon and i still cant get a single overnight with her, because that was the only court hearing before trial, i finally get to go to a trial readiness hearing today to hopefully go to trial to get some time with my daughter. Every other lawyer i spoke to since then said i should of reported these guys to the legal profession conduct commission but i did not. When i said i wanted to sit down and discuss the mistakes with these lawyers and how disgusted i was, and that i wanted john wadlow to be there, he sent an email making up lies saying he wouldnt have a meeting with me and didnt want to represent me anymore. Trial will cost me atleast 70 grand and im at a serious disadvantage now because of this previous experience, fighting to get a single overnight with my daughter and hopefully erase some of the terrible work done by John wadlow. When i got to my new lawyer we realised there was multiple documents that we were never even given including court orders we were supposed to abide by, WOW!
Blake and Peter are fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. Very prompt and conscientious service. Outstanding work. I will not hesitate to have you sort any legality for me in the future. I am very grateful and thankyou both for your hard work and support, esp at an incredibly challenging time.
We needed an urgent appointment to provide advice and solicitor’s certificates and were able to see Blake immediately! What a fun time we had wading through numerous documents. He gave clear advice and we were out within the hour! Thank you Blake and Lisa.
I cannot recommend Wadlow Solicitors, and specifically Blake Wadlow, highly enough! From start to finish, Blake handled my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and care. His timely and supportive approach made the legal process smooth and manageable.
Blake's honesty and integrity were evident throughout our interactions. He provided clear and insightful guidance every step of the way, ensuring that I understood my options and felt empowered to make informed decisions.
Overall, my experience with Wadlow Solicitors was exceptional, thanks to Blake's expertise and dedication. They truly go above and beyond for their clients! Amazing service and attention to detail!
I recently called on Blake and his team for assistance relating to legalities within an employment contract. I was promptly provided with clear advice on how to proceed which resulted in avoiding a potential problem in the future. An excellent firm who are knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to deal with.
Blake and his team were fantastic to work with. Wadlow Solicitors were the conveyancers for the purchase of our first home. They were professional and highly efficient. They frequently updated us and took a personal interest. We would like to thank Blake and his team for all their hard work. We highly recommend Wadlow Solicitors.
