Overview

Melbourne’s Trusted Family Lawyers for More Than 50 Years.

We can represent you in all aspects of family law, including marriage separation and divorce, breakdown of de facto relationships, parenting and child support agreements, spousal maintenance, property settlements, and financial settlements including superannuation, trusts, wills and estates. In all cases, including the most complex cases involving international law, we will provide expertise and support at every stage to tell your story.

We Tell Your Story

Our lawyers are compassionate and driven to helping people and their families navigate stressful situations and rebuild their lives. We view court as the last resort, not a first resort.

We succeed in resolving approximately 95% of our cases before court proceedings are issued, saving our clients unnecessary stress, cost and time.

We listen to your story and advocate for your best interests. Our lawyers are committed to supporting you to achieve the best possible outcome in your family law settlement.

Your first meeting carries no obligation to proceed.

We offer strategic negotiation and mediation

We know lengthy court proceedings can take a heavy toll, both financially and emotionally.

Fortunately, the large majority of family law matters never go to court. By focusing on strategic negotiation and mediation our team strives to reach the best outcome for you in the most timely and cost-efficient way.

We will discuss your concerns and ideal outcomes, and we will outline your options and guide you through each step of the way.

Accredited Family Law Specialists
