Holden Barlow

Let's be honest - no family court matter is a joyous experience. What I was after was clear and concise advice that set me up for realistic expectations. I couldn't fault my experience and although I didn't necessary celebrate the outcome I understood the situation and likely costs involved as they were regularly relayed to me throughout the process. I have subsequently referred friends and family and would highly recommend the service offered by Justin and his team (Leing in particular) if you have matter than needs resolving.

Couldn't speak more highly of the Lawyer appointed to me Caitlin Liddelow from Holden Barlow. Caitlin was very friendly and knowledgeable, all my questions where answered in layman terms. All the way through my appointment I was advised of the upfront costs and her advice was straight to the point.

Having recently met with Justin Dorney and Caris Tysoe for an initial consultation, I found them be to professional and thorough. I could see that they had thoroughly reviewed the documentation that I had sent them before the consultation, and the information they provided me was relevant, providing all the help I needed to achieve a successful outcome in my situation. The Holden Barlow Family Law Information Pack and the post-meeting review letter have been especially useful to me. I highly recommend their services.

Holden Barlow have been exceptional in their dealings with me. Could not recommend them highly enough. Justin in particular was fantastic, and got the job done!

I have dealt with Holden Barlow on several occasions in respect of family law matters. Holden Barlow have been both professional and courteous in my dealings with their office. Rather than creating issues, Holden Barlow, and particularly Mr Dorney, have been a pleasure to deal with. For each of the matters that I have engaged with Holden Barlow the parties have been able to reach an agreement which was to the benefit of both parties and avoided ongoing litigation and the costs associated with argument before the Family Court. .

Highly recommend Justin and the whole team at Holden Barlow.They have always been prompt, professional and efficient with every dealing I have had with them, both from a professional and personal level.Justin has been very approachable and his humanity shines through when you speak with him, his staff have all been amazing to deal with and I have been cared for exceptionally well.Thank you Justin, Maddie and Leing !

We have had the pleasure of working alongside Justin Dorney at Holden Barlow who achieved a great result for a mutual client. We highly recommend Holden Barlow for anyone in need of assistance with their family law matters.

I recently met with Justin Dorney and Leing Kang for an initial consultation to initiate the process of a Binding Financial Agreement (BFA). I found them very professional and thorough with their legal advice. They were very patient, explaining the process for separation resolution both with and without a BFA, and were very thorough in explaining the Family Law Act. They also thoroughly reviewed the information that I submitted and provided independent legal advice on the information I had provided to them to ensure I would have the best possible outcome. They explained their pricing upfront, which I have found isn’t always the case with lawyers. I would highly recommend them, especially given their wealth of knowledge and experience in Family Law matters.

Firstly we started with one lawyer spent one hour in regards to advise about divorce proceeding. Was charged over $1,000. Made my second appointment with my son. Was told your lawyer is no longer here you are now dealing with a different lawyer Caitlin. Had to go over everything again.Once again charged over $300+Was then told have to pay $1,000 for them to hold. For every phone call they charge &37 every email $37. Phone call for less that a minute same price.The service we got was poor and she did not fight at all for our case. Basically we were doing it all ourselves and paying large fees just to get a form 11 done.We were told to take over our case ourselves which we did and finalised the form 11.Then received another bill from Holden Barlow for another $934 for printing and other expenditures of which we never had any photocopies done.My dealings with them in particular the lawyer Caitlin is that I would suggest go somewhere else you will get a much better lawyer who will work for you and not charge ridiculous fees.In total we spent around $5,000+wasted as we got no where.Finalised the form11 ourselves and all we needed was a lawyer to fight our case which she never did but charged very high prices. Suggest go somewhere else.

As commercial lawyers my team of solicitors at Hale Legal have had the privilege of working closely with the team at Holden Barlow in relation to complex commercial, company and trust structures in the course of financial family law disputes over many, many years.I have found their knowledge and dedication to their clients to be exceptional.I have no hesitation in recommending Justin and the team at Holden Barlow.
