McPhee Lawyers

Arlene and her team helped me through a difficult and emotional time with a supportive combination of experience, genuine compassion and legal expertise, that resulted in the best possible outcome. I will always be grateful for Arlene's patience and humour. I recommend McPhee Lawyers

We retained Damien and his team at McPhee Lawyers in a parenting matter. Being represented by one of the best Family Law Specialists in Queensland gave us confidence during a difficult time. Damien achieved results above our expectations, maintained perspective for the issues in dispute, and he had an impressive level of knowledge in Family Law that progressed our matter to the point of parties settling before trial.

Arlene Stanovitch provided outstanding advice and support for my recent family law matter (separation and settlement). This is the second matter for which I have used McPhee Lawyers, the first being many years ago with the firm's founder, Judith McPhee. Arlene has maintained that original high standard of professionalism and attention to detail. McPhee Lawyers are the only firm I would use for a family law matter. Their fees are very reasonable and worth every cent given their thoroughness and very prompt attention. Everything is explained clearly and any potential pitfalls are raised and discussed, including mitigation. Nicole also provides very friendly and supportive assistance. They are a great team and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services. - Lisbeth

Damien assisted me with a property settlement and consent orders. McPhee provided excellent advice and guidance. I would absolutely recommend Damien and McPhee lawyers for those looking for help in any family law matters.

I have recently used Arlene from Mcphee Lawyers for a family matter. Arlene is extremely confident. She is down to earth and gets to the point quickly. I have always felt safe and confident when dealing with Arlene. She is also compassionate and understanding. Something you need when going through a stressful time. In fact the whole team at the firm are great to deal with and friendly. I would certainly recommended Arlene and the Mcphee team.

Damien was so professional and guided us through a drawn out process. He remained un-emotive and focused on facts which helped shape a set of orders which were fair and children focused.So far these orders have improved communication and stability when we have formerly dealt with an irrational ex partner where we constantly rode an ever changing narrative with every mood change. We can now move on with our life knowing these orders are in place for the future.Thanks Damien and team.

I used engaged Arlene Stonovich of McPhee Lawyers in a family law property settlement. Arlene refused to take any action against the ex-wife's Ned Kelly style lawyer who blatantly escalated correspondence and matters to increase the billing for both lawyer's practices. After 14 months the property settlement when to court without Arlene who went on holidays in Thailand leaving with me with family court representation by Anne McPhee. From the family court debacle I ended up with a Binding Agreement that cost me thousands more that normal child supports payments would be, AND ended up with the child support agency stealing money from my employers bank account. Despite numerus requests to McPhee lawyers Arlene Stonovich refused to help fix the botched 'binding agreement' costing me tens of thousand of dollars. After the child support agency stole funds from my employer's bank accounts i research and discovered that lawyers should never allow client to enter into binding agreements where their client will be financially disadvantaged by the agreement. Ann McPhee sold off the practice soon after my property settlement. Even when I offered to pay further additional legal fees Arlene Stonovich refused to assist. Their lack of 'customer care' was appalling.

I have recently, July 2017 used McPhee Lawyers for a family legal matter. I found Arlene technically very competent. She provided quality no-nonsense advice in a friendly constructive manner. I certainly recommend Arlene and McPhee Lawyers if these are qualities you are looking for in engaging a lawyer on a family legal matter.

Arlene and her team were helpful and supportive at a time of need. They tendered to all my needs with efficiency and represented me exactly how I imagined. I will return for future legal advice and recommend to anyone with Family Law issues to contact Arlene.
