Testimonials

What our clients say about us:

"Please accept my sincere thanks for your professional handling of my recent family law matter. You provided a very focused, ethical and decisive service and Julian Miller's representation of my position and management of the Court process was superb. Please pass on my thanks to him and your wonderful support staff, Tyler and Emma for their help and responsiveness. I am happy with the Orders we achieved, they allow for children to have both parents in their lives with the least disruption to their school lives. It is a win for them! I know it is not supposed to be "therapeutic" but it felt good to speak my truth under oath and stand up to that bully. I am stronger person for having completed the process I believed in. Thank you for helping me achieve this."

"I am very satisfied."

What our clients say about Collaborative Practice:

"I couldn't believe it. I suppose the key is everyone's open and looking for points of consensus. So the lawyers aren't arguing they're helping you understand what's realistic and that hadn't really happened before. It enabled both of us to see the other's side and reach sensible compromise. What might have cost a fortune ended up being less than $3000.00 each."

"Many thanks for everything, the outcome for me was more than I'd hoped for!"

"I would like to thank you and your team for the advice and assistance given to me with the property settlement. It may have been more protracted than we expected, but I value the care that was taken to ensure a fair and dignified solution. In the end, the process was at least equally important to the result and I fear that this would only have been achieved with the collaborative approach."

"Advice was good, articulated well and I was not pushed into taking a particular course of action. Thank you. "

"Not knowing the law too well I was treated with respect and in a friendly way. My case was set up and ready to proceed on time by the solicitor. It was above and beyond if necessary.

In addition to this the other party in this matter replied:

"I'm still really emotional about the break-up. It's been difficult, but this process helps remove that emotion from negotiations. We'd worked too hard for too long to blow our assets on lawyers. We're both fair-minded people, we didn't want to rip each other apart, so that helped. To be honest, I thought it would take a while but it was over after one meeting".
