What Client's Say

I have worked with Mark Minarelli from DW Fox Tucker Lawyers on a number of matters since 2011. I found Mark to be friendly, competent and we have a very good working relationship. He has always acted in my and my client’s best interest, his advice has always been considered and practical. His knowledge and experience demonstrated over the years allow me to recommend him to others who may wish to use his and DW Fox Tucker’s services.

I have known Mark for many years and he has handled all my family’s legal matters for over a decade. He is extremely attentive to detail and efficient in answering all queries in a timely manner. He is thorough and trustworthy and always respectful and professional. I have been very happy with his services and will continue to deal with Mark and his legal team in the future.

Andrea Gonis

Over the space of more than 40 years, Mark Minarelli has acted for our family in all legal matters from property purchases for our business and other business and private matters, wills for my wife and I (with as-needed updates) and all other legal matters. We have valued his advice and highly recommend Mark and DW Fox Tucker Lawyers.

Allan and Roslyn Steffensen

I am a self-employed management consultant specialising in assisting lawyers and law firms to better manage their practices. For approximately ten years, I was retained by Mark Minarelli in a consultancy role to assist him in all aspects of managing his practice prior to him joining DW Fox Tucker. This gave me the opportunity to work closely with Mark and I was able to observe the manner in which he ran his practice. Mark is a dedicated, hard-working lawyer who always strives to achieve the most cost-effective outcomes for his clients. Client service and satisfaction are paramount to Mark. He goes over and beyond to achieve excellent results for his clients. I have also used Mark for a personal and very difficult commercial matter and was impressed with his relentless efforts to satisfactorily resolve this matter. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark to any prospective client.
