Testimonials

I have engaged the team at Ahern Sierakowski Lawyers & Advisors in relation to a number of property-related issues affecting my workshop and business premises.

The matters have involved neighbouring property impacts and required careful consideration of legal, regulatory, technical, and practical issues. They have been procedurally and technically complex, particularly where legal strategy has needed to be informed by engineering, regulatory, and commercial considerations.

What has stood out to me is the time and effort Katherine and her team have taken to properly understand the background to these matters. Over an extended period, they have shown persistence, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to understanding the issues sufficiently to provide considered and practical advice.

I have appreciated their willingness to engage with difficult subject matter and to assist in progressing matters that are not straightforward. Their approach has been diligent, practical, and thoughtful throughout.

I would be pleased to recommend Ahern Sierakowski Lawyers & Advisors to others seeking legal assistance in complex property, regulatory, or commercially sensitive matters.

Katherine was an absolute lifeline during one of the most stressful periods of my life. She handled my matter with remarkable speed and precision, and from the very beginning she made me feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for.  What truly sets Katherine apart is her strength. She is fiercely strong, unwavering, and fights relentlessly for the best outcome for her clients. She fought for what was right for me and my children, and knowing she was in my corner gave me a sense of safety I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Her professionalism is exceptional, but it’s her dedication, compassion, and tenacity that make her extraordinary. I’m deeply grateful for everything she did for us, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer they can trust with their life.

Katherine has been an exceptional support throughout my financial separation. Her guidance has been clear, strategic and consistently grounded in my best interests. She has taken the time to understand the complexities of my situation and has handled every stage with professionalism, precision and genuine care.

I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and the steady reassurance she has provided during a very challenging process & highly recommend Katherine and the team.

Dealing with Katherine and Jenna and Nafkot and the rest of the team has been great for us and our clients. They are smart, know the aspects of the law, very efficient and most importantly have an ability to explain complex problems in layman’s terms. Their ability to bring a commercial lens to many complex issues is unrivalled. We often come across lawyers who dont understand the commercial aspects of disputes, and lack the ability to develop strategies dealing with it but the team developed strategies to deal with the dispute and then to work out commercial solutions. We have no hesitation in referring clients to Katherine and the team, and to recommend them for most of our legal matters.

Katherine took over our family and business legal representation around 3 years ago. She has been successful in finalising a long-standing family estate dispute with the Public Trustee, successfully defended employee litigation / client payment settlements and now will establish our family will. I recommend Katherine and her legal team for any business or family legal matters you may require.

I engaged the services of Katherine and her team to advise on estate planning and update my will, including setting up a trust.  From start to end, Katherine provided a very high-quality service; she understood my wishes and was efficient.  I never felt overwhelmed by the paperwork, as Katherine stepped me through everything clearly and carefully.  She was a very easy to deal with and I now have peace of mind that my estate planning is sorted.  I strongly recommend Katherine, Abby and the team for any will and estate planning needs.

I have known and worked alongside Katherine and her teams for several years.  As a fellow lawyer, I refer work from time to time to Katherine and her team.  I know Katherine to be a very safe pair of hands for any legal work that is my firm doesn’t practice in or for the times there is a conflict of interest.  The feedback I always received about Katherine is that she was ‘easy and great to work with, knows the law, honest and practically-minded’.  I have no hesitation in recommending Katherine and her team and consider her a top-tier referral partner of mine.

I cannot speak highly enough of Katherine’s professionalism, support and knowledge in my situation. Katherine and her team were always available, considerate and personable to me and have helped me move forward and rebuild my life. Not just financially but emotionally also getting me closure, I truly appreciate the fact that you cared and always worked in my best interests. I would recommend you and your services to all.

We engaged Katherine and her team to assist us with an estate matter following the sudden passing of a family member. Katherine made herself available very quickly for a free half hour appointment so that we could get the most urgent questions answered and put our minds at ease.
Unfortunately, our matter was not straight forward, but Katherine took care of all of the steps to ensure that everything was completed. It was a relief to know that what was a very difficult and emotional situation was in such capable hands.
Katherine and her team have been very helpful, supportive and understanding, all at a reasonable cost.

‘Marcus Ahern is the man that got Status Quo back together’ after he resolved our legal disputes which led to the original band reuniting in 2013.

Without our great friend Marcus Ahern the band would probably not exist as The Angels. His legal advice and his collaboration with his friend and lawyer Steven Penglis SC enabled us to keep the name despite the opposition we faced through 2011 – 2013. Hats off to Marcus and Steven.

Rick and John Brewster, The Angels – From the book – The Angels by Bob Yates with Rick and John Brewster at pages 427 & 428.

I have had the pleasure of hiring the services of Ahern Sierakowski Lawyers on multiple occasions. Marcus and the team consistently exceed my expectations; they are transparent with their pricing – and the level of service is fantastic. I Can not recommend them highly enough.

We engaged Aherns to assist with a HIA contract dispute. Marcus was a pleasure to deal with, very informative and answered all our questions and assisted us in negotiations with our builder. Highly recommend.

The services offered by Marcus and his team in regards to construction disputes/negotiations and a HIA contracts was thorough and professional.

Reasonably priced and a very fast quick turn around on an urgent matter.

Marcus is super experienced, has helped me on a number of matters. I could not be happier. Thank you 😊

Ahern Sierakowski helped my family overcome a defamatory case. Marcus’ honest and direct approach when submitting evidence really helped us understand how to approach the matter of intimidation, harassment and defamatory issues. Ahern Sierakowski proved we had been defamed and I would recommend their expertise in Concerns notices.

I had the good fortune of working with Marcus and the team in recent months. I was impressed by their professionalism, communication and helpful suggestions. At every point, one felt that their best interests were being represented. I would strongly recommend Ahern’s Lawyers to anyone looking for representation in the Perth region.
