Cantwell Family Lawyers

Can't Thank Melissa and her team enough for the support they have provided in one of the most challenging times of my life. Her experience, diligence, professionalism and care helped me to attain the best possible outcome in the family law matter.

At a very stressful time in 2000 I had need of expert committed representation and had the great fortune to find Melissa Cantwell. She represented me over a six year period and I cannot fault her expertise and advice throughout. I will be forever grateful for her honesty, forthright manner and expert advice. I ended up in a great position maintaining shared residence of my son, that otherwise would have been unlikely as I'm a male.

I was referred to Cantwell Family Lawyers by one of my friends for my financial settlement with my ex husband. I cannot thank her enough. Melissa & her team has been great . I highly recommend them. Their help & advice every step of the way, got me my entitled share & there was no need for court. Thank you Melissa for everything.

My experience with Cantwell Family Lawyers was exceptional.From my very first meeting I felt understanding, reassurance, empathy and compassion.Melissa and Bryn, working as a team and both possessing outstanding knowledge, were always on top of every detail and were always contactable.Lesley in accounts remembered my name, child and situation just from my voice, after over a year and was always a pleasure to deal with.I switched from a large law firm where I felt lost in the machine, could not get timely responses from my lawyer and felt I was being milked for every dollar at every opportunity.With Cantwell I honestly felt that the best outcome for myself and my child was always at the forefront of their concerns, and it was never about the money.There were no extra fees or hidden costs, billing was extremely reasonable and the solutions suggested were tailored to suit my case and save expenses were possible.This Firms knowledge, experience, commitment and integrity is beyond exemplary and I would not hesitate in recommending their services to others.I honestly would suspect any negative reviews left here are from opposing clients who have not been as well served by their own counsel!

Couldn’t be more grateful for being referred to Cantwell family lawyers. It was the biggest blessing on my families life. The firm was super efficient, knowledgeable of the law; and made sure I had the best representation for my hearings. This is a very honest, experienced firm, who really do have a heart for families and the stress that court and legal matters put on you; and most of all they really care for the children that are involved in it all; whether that be protecting them, or putting their needs above everything else. Thank you Mary, Melissa, and Leslie, you will always have such a special place in my families heart.

Melissa and her team at Cantwell Family Lawyers did an absolutely excellent job in guiding me through family law matters towards a very satisfying result. Melissa's deep knowledge and experience, as well as her ability to brilliantly articulate matters via written letters or verbally, were central in achieving a very satisfying outcome. I highly recommend Melissa and her team for anyone wanting an experienced and talented Lawyer who will fight for what is right and just. Having Melissa and her team on my side proved very valuable to me, both from a mental and emotional perspective, as well as a financial outcome result. Thank you so much Melissa and the wider CFL Team, I am very appreciative for your excellent services.

I have had the advice and support of Melissa and her team since a referral given to me by the Bouverie Centre in 2016. From that time until today I have found them to be exceptional in all aspects of their work. Family law is complex and emotionally draining to be part of as a client-so to have a firm that is transparent with their fees,always available to clarify and explain procedures and pragmatic about which battles to fight-invaluable !A small firm with hearts of gold !
