Parker Coles Curtis

Over the last 2.5 years Jacquelyn has greatly assisted me with my custody agreement, divorce and financial separation. Every step of the way I have appreciated her honest, professional, considered, pragmatic and empathetic advice. I felt confident that I knew the appropriate steps and what options were available to me throughout.Jacquelyn is clearly passionate about her work in supporting people through a very daunting and confusing legal process, and I have recommended her to many of my close personal friends.Thank you so much to Jacquelyn and the team for all your support. I won't hesitate to continue recommending your services in the future.

Thanks to Parker Coles Curtis for taking on my case three years ago.The support you gave me in the initial stages was foundational in helping me have the courage to go through the process.Your continuous steadfast advice helped me to back myself even in the most challenging of times.The PCC Team was always prompt in responding to all correspondence and making sure I had everything I needed.If you need support in all things Family Law, I highly recommend the team at Parker Coles Curtis.

Where to begin in describing the lifesaving service I received from Catherine Coles, Liam McCarthy and Christine Faithful at Parker Coles Curtis?I was recommended by a friend to contact Catherine Coles for legal advice in mid-2021 to start my divorce process after I had been with my partner for 12 years, and I haven't looked back since. It was quite a life shock to have to undertake separation, and do it from overseas, during a once in a generation global pandemic with international borders closed, being made homeless, juggle a demanding full-time job, and manage the many legal, financial and mental health obstacles that were thrown at me.From the very first meeting, Catherine showed top-end professionalism, managed expectations in terms of costs and process, but more than anything, demonstrated her empathy and presented herself and her legal team as legal warriors that would be my number one support. Of life's stresses, death is often listed at the top in terms of extreme stress events in one's life, and then divorce. With that stress, it can be complex to unstitch many years of cohabitation, belongings, finances, property, superannuation, or other unknown rights your ex may not wish to afford you. Catherine, Liam and Christine at every corner helped me navigate the complex legal process, and helped me realise I had a value. Seeking legal services from Parker Coles Curtis became an investment in my future, not another cost during life's shock to me.I personally struggled to decide what I wanted at separation or what I deserved because I wanted both my ex and I to walk away with a fair separation noting we were an economic unit for those 12 years. But what I was being offered to me by my ex didn't stack up with the legal advice I was receiving from Catherine and Liam at Parker Coles Curtis. Unfortunately, my ex and I were not able to agree on what to separate, and Liam and Catherine supported me during a day of mediation with my partner. This was a day I will never forget and often speak about in support of the seeking legal advice. Imagine a surgeon conducting open heart surgery or Dumbledore waving his wand with awe inspiring spells to save Voldemort from murdering Harry Potter. Parker Coles Curtis Lawyers - same thing! Liam McCarthy waved his legal wand, used his experience, attention to detail and supported me to get a fair financial outcome. I was in safe hands the entire time. The day of mediation was a stressful event, but I was well prepared, kind, flexible, supportive to my ex-partner. Liam and Catherine worked hard behind the scenes and helped lock in a great outcome and we proceeded together with the next phase of my legal journey.That next phase involved negotiating divorce papers, court orders, administration with family court, selling a property, and navigating multiple milestones with ongoing support from Parker Coles Curtis. Christine was also a great support in ensuring communication lines were always open, and she helped to always inform me of communication that occurred between Parker Coles Curtis and my ex's legal representation.I am genuinely sad that I won't get to speak as often with Catherine, Liam and Christine after finishing my divorce process. But I have arrived at the next stage of my life with some closure, an amicable relationship with my ex and hope for a better future, and I am eternally grateful to Parker Coles Curtis.Thank you Parker Coles Curtis. My lifesavers.

I knew of Parker Coles Curtis by reputation and sought them out after six months of unsuccessful negotiations in a parenting and relocation matter. Even though I lived interstate, Debra, Madeleine and team were able to advise me, brief counsel and eventually manage litigation to a successful outcome. Debra was pragmatic and supportive throughout and did not overpromise a result in a 'finely balanced' case. I felt that the team took the time to understand the nuances of our situation and cared deeply about the outcome. I saw a high level of strategy and experience go into the preparation of materials and correspondence. I'll be recommending them to everyone I know.

As family members of a long term client of Jacqueline Curtis, I will attempt to adequately praise her and her staff for their outstanding work. At all times, and without exception, Jacquie was highly professional, efficient, insightful and wise, extremely hard working, dynamic and flexible under pressure and considerate and humane when things were tough!!! She is everything you need to succeed!! Sincere thanks to you Jacquie and your staff!

Dear Debra and the incredible team,Over more than two years, Debra’s excellent professionalism and expertise helped me to achieve an excellent outcome in the mediation. I met Debra more than five years ago in Women Legal Centre. Her professional touch and reassurance aided me in making the most challenging decision to flee from domestic violence and abuse, which I went through for over a decade.From the bottom of my heart, I thank Debra for reaching the promise you made on that night at the Women's Legal centre. But unfortunately, the settlement dragged more than two years, and without the support from her legal team, mainly Karen and Allison, I could not get the mental strength to stand up for the abuse I encountered for a lengthy time.The mediation went well, and Debra's skillful expertise in the legal profession helped me reach the financial and property settlement I deserved by ending 30 years of marriage.I am grateful to Debra and her excellent team for making my dreams come true. They all worked as a team to help me gain the most successful outcome in the settlement, and I will never forget them.

From our initial meeting I found Jacquelyn to be highly professional and displayed extensive knowledge of the legal process.She demonstrated her exceptional communication skills which greatly assisted me in the process of identifying what was important and how to achieve that. At all times she was a strong advocate for me and what I needed.Throughout the many challenges Jacquelyn consistently showed me respect, compassion and kindness.

Debra & Meg were handling a matter for my partner and I in the Family Courts. They not only won our case, but got us more than we were hoping. We had concerns for the financial aspect of having representation (as i'm sure everyone feels) but came to a very reasonable agreement and payment plan. Parker Coles Curtis are extremely kind, passionate and professional and I would highly recommend them for legal representation.Thank you for everything you did for us!

Parker Coles and Curtis arrived in my life at precisely the right time.Debra acknowledged my concerns, fears and my complex issues. They navigated a Family Law system that in my opinion needs reform to the best of their ability to assist me.Debra took me on from former representation and when I was in an overwhelming and threatened state. Debra was my voice of reason and my compass.I now have certainty and a future thanks to Debra, Maddie and Karen who are the perfect team to obtain the best outcome.

Debra Parker has been an amazing help in my family matter. She is amazing. I would heavily recommend to anyone who needs a family lawyer.
