Michael Birch

"I can't recommend Michael and his team enough. We engaged Micheal to assist us in a building matter that we had been dealing with for a year or so. We had finally reached the point of our matter being heard through NCAT. As soon as we started talking to Michael and his team we quickly realised we had selected the right team for us. The instant feeling of relief was wonderful. Finally our hearing date had come. We had built a really strong case and Michael was able to deliver all the evidence needed to get us a win. 100% of everything we were asking for was awarded. Thank you Michael and team, our dealings with you have been nothing short of amazing"

"Michael Birch and his team recently represented my wife and I in a complex home Building dispute that had been ongoing for over 2 years. Michael quickly understood the requirements for additional evidence to remove any doubt or argument against the claim and he engaged a suitable expert with our permission. We also feel like we were supported, our questions were answered efficiently and in a reassuring way. While our builder did not attend the hearing Michael's professionalism and experience meant that there were no gaps to allow the builder any chances to appeal. This aided in the senior member taking required actions during the hearing and making an efficient determination. Michael and the team have detailed experience and knowledge in disputing home building matters and are experienced with the processes for NCAT. Thank you again to the team at Birch Partners for all of your assistance over the recent months, we truly appreciate your efforts in getting us to the point where we can get our home rectified!"

"I spent many hours researching building and construction lawyers to represent me after a troublesome build and settlement experience. After reading the case studies on the Birch Partners website I put Michael Birch at the top of my list of who to contact. From the first phone call I knew I was on to a winner. Michael quickly understood the essence of my case and he proceeded to describe potential scenarios that could play out, the pros and cons and most important how to set up a rock-solid strategy for success. Central to the strategy was engaging an NCAT expert witness early on. The one Michael Birch engaged was very very good and reasonably priced. A total of 93 defects were identified, and the repair cost estimate was $94,000. The builder was slow and made a point of repairing the least expensive defects first and delaying the expensive defects. This led to action through NCAT. Ultimately, we had a win in NCAT, the cost recovery was the very best the law could provide and all major defects and the vast majority of other defects were completed. Michael’s approach was highly effective at minimising my costs and getting the best possible cost recovery. I have great regard for Michael’s work ethic, approach and expertise and I highly recommend him to those looking for a titan in building and construction law. Michael, thank you for your wise counsel, for the education along the way and of course the great outcome."

"We engaged Michael to defend our company in a building dispute involving multiple parties. From our first meeting we knew Michael was the right person for the job. He quickly grasped the important elements of the dispute and informed us of our options. Throughout the process I was pleased Michael actively minimised our costs and maximised the chance of recovering them. His superior knowledge of building law compared to the other parties was evident throughout the process. I have no hesitation what so ever in recommending Michael to prospective customers."

"I spoke with other legal firms prior to contacting Michael Birch and from our initial conversation, I knew Michael was the one to deliver a positive result. His honesty in terms of what to expect was encouraging. I found Micheal to be a confident, sharp and no nonsense lawyer proving undoubtedly to be an exceptional building and construction dispute specialist. He was responsive to my queries, kept me informed from beginning to end and delivered a very positive result. Micheal Birch always sure of himself, comfortable with NCAT and clearly understood the law better than the two barristers on the other side. I highly recommend Michael Birch to anyone seeking legal representation that will keep your best interest at the forefront. Thank you Michael."
