Let me introduce myself.

Hi, I'm Paul Cook

I’m the Principal of Sherlock Legal.

Prior to being admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor, I served in the Royal Australian Air Force, and subsequently in the Western Australia Police Force (for 14 years).

Often people need a lawyer at difficult or stressful times in their life. My goal is to help you through this time, get you the best result, and to minimise your stress as much as possible.

I became a Barrister and Solicitor to help everyday Western Australians understand and fix their complicated legal problems.

Trusted legal counsel. Nothing fancy.

Client testimonials

"My mother's mother passed away a few years ago. The paperwork was horrendous. She went to Sherlock Legal and it was sorted out within half an hour. Her relief was extraordinary. If you've ever thought, "Hmm I should update my Will," or Power of Attorney, or something like that, I can not recommend Sherlock Legal highly enough. Don't leave it too late."

Jarrod Buttery

"Paul is an excellent legal practitioner and extremely ethical. If you are going through any legal issues I honestly believe this man can steer you through the storm successfully. Another fact I found quote incredible was he is actually a very nice person who genuinely cares about his clients. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone."

Simon Coates

"I was in need of legal help with a family estate matter, and had been for many years, but lack of money had stopped me from being able to seek it. The support I received was invaluable. I was impressed at just how professional they are but at the same time you are made to feel like you have a friend standing behind you."
