Our experienced lawyers know that you need:

• someone who understands the emotions and attitudes of the people involved in your situation;
• your concerns; especially around financial security, child custody, personal safety and so on;
• someone who will provide upfront information about pricing and legal costs (and keep you updated as the matter progresses);
• a lawyer who will provide practical, results-focused advice.

Our family lawyers know that family law clients are usually experiencing one of the most emotional times of their life – a fear of the unknown, concern over financial security, worry for the future care of children, anxiety around personal safety and so on. Added to this, most people don’t know what their legal options are – especially when well-meaning friends or family offer advice that may or may not be correct. Our lawyers see your whole matter and not just the court documents that need to be drafted.

We cut through these issues and provide you with legal advice and a strategy based on decades of legal experience to give you the confidence to move forward with your life.

At your first appointment:

• you meet with an experienced professional in the area;
• you are advised in frank terms about legal costs and estimates to the end of your matter;
• we listen to you and understand your matter;
• our lawyer gives you some basic advice about how we start and handle your matter going forward.

We are Legalaid approved lawyers. We can help you obtain a grant of Legalaid to help with your matter.
