“Simon, just a note to say a heartfelt 'Thank You' to you, and your wonderful team, for taking on my family law case. I still can’t quite believe the marvellous outcome. The following may sound a bit over dramatic but I really do feel that you have given me back my life! The relief is overwhelming. I cannot thank you enough.
Please convey my grateful thanks to Natalie, Lisa and Mel for their caring support throughout the proceedings, to Frank Castiglione for his valuable advice, and also to all 'behind the scenes' staff at HHG. Together you all make a really outstanding team. I don’t think anyone could find better, anywhere!
I wish you all the very best in the continuing expansion of HHG and on the opening of your full time Perth office. I have already recommended HHG to other people seeking a family law practice.
A caring and committed team of outstanding professionals who achieve excellent results in all aspects of family law.
But to me, you’re 'Just The Best'. Thank you, Simon! Best wishes to you all”

“Over the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of dealing with Murray Thornhill, Partner of the Commercial Litigation section of Hudson Henning & Goodman and his Commercial Litigation team.
Murray Thornhill has an excellent knowledge of litigation law, which came through with my dealings with him. He is also a very approachable person who explained the way in which the matter was to progress in a manner which I could easily understand.
Over that time I have come to greatly respect and appreciate the work that Murray does and would not have any problems in recommending Murray Thornhill for any litigation matters. I also found the firm on a whole to have excellent moral and ethical standards."
“We are pleased to provide a recommendation for the firm of Hudson Henning & Goodman Barristers, Solicitors and Notaries.
In our dealings with Hudson Henning & Goodman we found that they delivered exactly what they promised to do and within the time frame stipulated. Full credit to Murray Thornhill (our representative) as he didn’t waste time and kept us informed as to the progress of our case.
We were originally referred to Hudson Henning & Goodman and with good reason. Professionalism, ethics and courtesy is in short supply these days so we were surprised to know that it does still exist and is strong within this firm. The firm motto must be along these lines I would imagine as it shines through the delivery of their service and the outcome (which they will let you know beforehand – dependant on case).
We have lost nothing and gained so much in our dealings with Hudson Henning & Goodman and are pleased to have made their acquaintance. The last thing we can say is 'THANK YOU'."
"Our family has been associated with Hudson Henning & Goodman for four generations. We have needed help from Hudson Henning & Goodman recently with a complex commercial legal matter. During this process we were in close regular contact with Hudson Henning & Goodman. At all times we knew how the matter was going and received sound practical advice.
Throughout our six month legal ordeal we found that the advice we got was very good. As the saying goes “good advice is cheap” a saying only too true when involved in the legal system. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hudson Henning & Goodman to anyone needing legal work done."
"Thank you for looking after us so well. We never have any worries with anything when you are handling things for us."
“My case involved numerous complexities of both a legal and personal nature. Unfortunately, and although Simon Creek did all that he could to achieve an early settlement, my case was not resolved for over 2 years. Throughout this time, Simon kept my focus on the relevant issues and encouraged me to “hang in there” notwithstanding the pressure I was under. Towards the end, innovative thinking and useful tactics enabled my ex-wife and I to reach a settlement out of Court.
Simon Creek and his team of family lawyers worked closely with my other advisers to ensure that eventually, I received an excellent outcome on my family law case generally. I would not hesitate to recommend Simon Creek to anyone looking for a family lawyer with perseverance, a mind for tactics and past experience with family law”.
“When I separated from my husband, I sought the legal services of the staff at Hudson Henning & Goodman to resolve issues in relation to the settlement of property, and to arrange the application for divorce. Dealing with a spiteful and vindictive ex has, without a doubt, been the most draining and frustrating experience of my life, however, the staff at Hudson Henning & Goodman, in particular Simon Creek and Natalie Dimmock, took it all in their stride making the process much easier for me to deal with.
They demonstrated support, understanding and professionalism in all areas, and their experience resulted in a happy outcome finally being achieved. I can now move on to a much brighter future and put the past behind me. Thank you!”
"P.S. I’d also like to commend the receptionist, Kareena Young. I have found her to be a delightful and friendly person to deal with when paying the bills, which made even that process less painful!?"
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank your partners, associates and staff for your efficient and professional assistance in handling my recent case to resolve the difficult family issue in relation to the resolution of my late wife’s will and estate.
I am sure that were she able to know it, my wife would have been most grateful. My family are happy with the satisfactory outcome, especially in that further action was avoided."
Mr GH
"On many occasions over the last three years we have sought the advice of “the team” from Hudson Henning & Goodman.
Whether it has been of a personal or business dealing, we have found them to be knowledgeable on the subject, fair and considerate to your personal feelings and always seeking a positive outcome.
It has been a good interaction and one we would like to continue in the future. Good luck to a great team."
"Simon Creek acted for me in very difficult and complicated Family Law Proceedings that went on for over 4 years, ending in a successful result.
Simon always acted in a highly professional manner and made himself available to me 7 days a week, which I appreciated. He was always there with advice and encouragement, especially when I felt like giving the whole thing away due to frustration.
I found Simon to be a man of great moral substance which was important to me. I would certainly recommend him and his firm of lawyers to anyone needing such advice.
“Simon Creek and his family law team helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. My case involved children’s issues, property issues and threats of abuse and violence. At all times, the family law team at Hudson Henning & Goodman supported me both legally and emotionally.
Even though my former husband went out of his way to scare me into accepting his proposals, Simon Creek made sure that I was not forced into accepting something that did not protect my interests. There is no doubt that the end of any marriage is a highly traumatic and depressing time – all I can say is that the family law team at Hudson Henning & Goodman boosted my spirits and made sure I had good advice at all times.
I am very happy with the outcome of my matter and highly recommend Simon Creek and his team to anyone looking for a family lawyer who will look after them and stand up for them when required.
"I am writing to express my thanks to Hudson Henning & Goodman and your senior Associate Matthew Wallis, for the advice, guidance and detailed attention in handling my recent legal and taxation affairs. I am extremely grateful for the assistance in achieving the positive outcome for my business and myself.
The advice to engage the service of counsel and your Matthew’s personal and professional attention to these matters I believe was crucial in achieving the successful outcome. I have recommended Hudson Henning & Goodman to my clients and friends for legal advice and would be happy to provide the recommendation to your potential clients if requested."
"I first approached Hudson Henning & Goodman in September 2004. I was in a fairly distressed state having received a legal letter demanding a large percentage of my total assets. Simon Creek interviewed me and due to his knowledge of family law and the way he explained the procedures that would follow I began to feel at ease.
His knowledge of Family Law became obvious as he explained what would happen in a quick settlement or in a worst case scenario, being drawn out litigation. I was reassured with a comment that Simon made during the initial interview when I asked the question “Have you won many cases concerning family law property settlement issues”. His reply was “We don’t lose cases. We usually reach a settlement that is at worst, acceptable to our clients”.
During the next few weeks Simon and his assistants were very persistent and professional in their handling of my case, not only during negotiations but also in the wording used in the final documents.
Hudson Henning & Goodman achieved an excellent result for me on my family law matter and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any person with similar issues."
"I wish to bring to your attention my complete satisfaction with Simon Creek and the Hudson Henning & Goodman team.
During my dealings with them, I have found their manner to be courteous, thorough and very professional. The way they conducted themselves during my court proceedings was proficient and true.
I would have no hesitation in recommending their expertise to anyone I know."
"The Shire of Plantagenet recently sought the services of legal advisers who would be prepared to work closely with shire staff on an ongoing basis over a broad range of issues.
As Chief Executive officer I was very aware that we needed to be able to talk with our legal advisers on a less formal but nevertheless confidential and professional basis.
We are most satisfied with the service that has been provided to us on a number of issues including simple conveyancing, legal action with regard to delinquent debtors and most recently examination of property owned by the council under the old system title.
Hudson Henning & Goodman are big enough to access high level legal advice and small enough to meet our needs of personal ‘one on one’ service."
Mr Rob Stewart
CEO, Shire of Plantagenet
"I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Hudson Henning & Goodman, but most especially to Matthew Wallis, who handled my case.
After my de-facto passed away without a will, I went through the worst ever experience of my life.
I was left with a lot of financial stress, hardship, grief and problems with a mother in law, things I could never imagine possible till I was put in that situation.
After dealing with another lawyer first off, they set me back further financially and did nothing to resolve the case, only making it worse by trying to represent myself and the mother in law at the same time. Hence your firm was recommended to me, so I came to you.
I was really lucky to stumble across Matthew Wallis, who was very sincere, supportive and got my case sorted quickly and efficiently.
It has been pleasurable dealing with Matthew over the last 2 years. I was always kept updated and always received good advice throughout the process.
I would like to offer a very big thank you for my wonderful outcome. To all the staff involved, I am pleased to be able to move on and put this behind me at last.
I will be recommending Matthew highly to anyone I know that needs a good lawyer."
"Many thanks for the way in which you dealt with our settlement. It was indeed a pleasure to have completed the process of the settlement so smoothly and in a professional and kind manner. Thank you so much.
"As the executor of a will and with the duty of the sale of a property, I chose to use your services and expertise in the settlement of the property.
I wish to express my appreciation for the service provided to me by Mrs Aileen Newell.
From my original request, engagement and completion of the settlement I was overwhelmed by the pleasant, streamlined and trouble free way in which the communications and interactions were handled by Mrs Newell.
Having had no experience in these matters previously, I am indeed extremely grateful for the kind, professional manner provided to me by your practice."
"Special mention to Murray and Paul for working so diligently and tirelessly for our cause. Peace, happiness and prosperity we pray for you all in 2007."
"Many thanks for your help and service as our settlement agent. We didn’t worry or stress through the whole bank ordeal because you were so calm and reassuring. Also thanks for coming to the rescue with all the utilities and their need for proof of ownership. In Appreciation."
