Family Law Matters

“I can’t recommend the team at FLM enough. I’ve gone through 2 law firms over the last 5 years and have forked out good money for some very average representation. For many reasons I was delighted to see that everyone in the FLM team lives and breathes Antonella’s ethos. Good advice (with heart) from people who have gone through divorce and truly did work hard to minimise my pain. It wasn’t about ‘winning’ or ‘losing’ with my matter, it was about convincing the court that I’m a decent father and wanted more time with my daughters. With Antonella’s keen eye and 22 years of experience it was great to have strategic input from the wise one to guide me with the other solicitors in the team doing the ground work bring my story out in the best light possible. Thank you to Antonella, Brendan and Veronica and all the team from the bottom of my heart.”

Throughout the toughest period of my life, Antonella and the team at Family Law Matters have been nothing short of incredible, in particular Veronica Phillips.I worked closely with Veronica over a three and a half year period to eventually finalise my protracted and nasty family law proceedings for both property and parenting.Veronica is an extremely compassionate, loyal, honest and knowledgeable legal professional who has proven that you don't have to play dirty to get a great outcome. My kids and I couldn't be anymore happier with the final result.As a devoted father, I will be forever grateful for everything that Veronica and the entire team at Family Law Matters have done for me and my family.

Whilst the circumstances that led me to requiring FLM were not ideal, I am incredibly glad FLM were on my team.My matter has been handled with care, respect, confidentiality and I have never felt like I was asking too little or too much.Jenna is not only a fantastic solicitor, but a fantastic person and manages to make a very difficult process as easy as she possibly can. She is cost-conscious, adept, and goes above and beyond in every aspect.I have also been fortunate enough to also have some interactions with the Principal, Antonella, and Cortnie, another solicitor. It is clear that the culture is instilled from the top and it shines through all of the staff members at the firm.I hope I don't need FLM again, but I know exactly who to call if I do. I will be eternally grateful for the way that I was treated and for the work they have done in addressing the dissolution process.

I was really happy with Family Law Matters from my initial phone call they put me at ease about my journey ahead and recommended Melody van der Wallen to deal with my matter.I was really happy with everything Melody supported me with throughout the whole process. Melody was extremely efficient and thorough. I felt very well supported, nothing was a problem and was happy with the outcome.Highly recommend Family Law Matters and Melody will definitely look after you.

I do not want to deal with legal issues but I have to in order to solve my property settlement issues after divorce. Although there are many family lawyers advertised on the website, it is actually hard for me to find one. Sometimes it became suffer for me to repeat things again and again, but things have been changed since I met with Brendan and Steve in Family Law Matters, from the first talk with Steve over the phone, I felt I am in a helping hand and he understood my situation, until later I met with Brendan in their office, he instantly understood me and advise me the way to achieve, I became much confident and relaxed in working with him to solve my problems. Especially later when we work together, for every issue either via email or via phone, his suggestions or answers are always to the point, he really thinks from customers’ point of view, that is why he can understand me. Their business is excellent , it is just like their business name ‘Family Law Matters”. I highly recommended.

I hired Veronica Phillips for assistance with intrafamily adoption. I had spoken to about 4 other firms/lawyers, and Veronica was by far the kindest, and most helpful - which is why I chose to go with her. I am so glad I did! She gently guided me through the process, was very fair in her pricing and went above and beyond to make sure I was supported. I will definitely be reaching out should I ever need further help, and I 10/10 recommend. Thank you, Veronica.

Veronica has a level of warmth, empathy and heart that I did not expect to find in a lawyer. She is approachable, versatile, highly knowledgeable and quick to reassure or respond.In action she is deliberate and articulate, so much so that her counterparts appear aloof. Veronica and the team have been considerate of my single parent income from day one and have made adjustments wherever possible.I cannot fault one person at FLM, they have always been supportive and do not hesitate to impart their knowledge or give helpful advice. I sought out Family Law Matters for their wholesome values, rather than finding a local firm, and I'm so grateful that I did.

Highly recommend Jenna from Family Law Matters. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and compassionate towards the situation. Throughout our dealings I felt as though I was in very capable hands due to her excellent communication skills.Thank you Jenna for your outstanding service.

I have been seeing Melody at Family Law Matter's now for approximately 12 months and have found she is amazing in the work she does and does not take a backward step in helping her client's receive the best outcome she possibly can. If you need any assistance in family law don't hesitate to contact Melody, I highly recommend her.

Family Law Matters have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of my financial settlement. When you first reach out to the team at Family Law Matters, you will be greeted by Steve, who immediately makes you feel at ease. Steve gets the ball rolling and gives you the pep talk you absolutely need when you initiate this process. I had the privilege of having Melody appointed to my case and she was absolutely flawless in her approach to my specific circumstances and her manner towards me as her client. At no point did I lack confidence in her. She took the time to explain the process and the reasons why she was making a recommendation. She did this in such a way that at all times I felt like I completely understood what was happening and why. This made me feel reassured that every effort was being made to achieve the best possible outcome. She was very understanding and empathetic towards me regarding the emotional impacts that this whole process had on me. Melody handled a complicated and difficult financial settlement with impeccable professionalism.
