Family Law Matters - Cronulla (NSW)

5 /5 Leigh Moorhead: Stating the obvious that no one wants to use Family Law, however sometimes it is necessary and if you do then it is wise to research and find a specialised law firm. Veronica at FLM was amazing to work with, highly organised, meticulous in her detail. The entire journey I felt that I was in good hands, the trust I had with Veronica to use her guidance and expertise was warranted. Although I was one of the unfortunate ones that does end up in a Family Law Court room, all of that preparation over the preceding two years I could see play out in that room. I could see all of the judgment calls that Veronica had guided me towards work effectively. I would recommend FLM and Veronica to anyone in need of a specialised Family Law Firm/Lawyer.

4 /5 Keith Ryan: I was in a situation whereby my second marriage broke down due to my response of a horrible and nasty word when advised that I was to fund further repairs to a premises which would then be placed on the rental market to provide financial stability. Further I was to then provide suitable premises at a suitable location where my prior wife could reside with minimal contribution. Due to this untenable situation, requests for resolution to be dealt with in a calm and mutually respectful manner and the opportunity for a windfall, my former wife had to make this as difficult and drawn out as possible. After making a number of enquiries I contacted Family Law Matters and explained my situation. All members of staff who I personally dealt with were professional and caring, providing expertise and grounded advice to assist me to navigate this mine field. My former wife would accept all disclosure details then do nothing for an extended period before demanding updated detail with the threat of Family Law Court proceedings. The team at FLM advised me to apply for divorce which was the start of bringing this very protracted matter to an end. After much assistance and support my matter was finally resolved. Apart from one instance where my Solicitor went on maternity leave during a period of awaiting a response then the solicitor who had taken carriage of my matter leaving the firm. My matter flowed fairly well. Although, when this incident occurred, it was up to me to get everything back on track.

1 /5 Piotr: These lawyers acted for my ex. To put into perspective, they ended up negotiating a lesser settlement for her than my initial proposal and this the result of a poor approach, involving fuelling conflict, which contributed to an extended legal battle. Only someone of a vindicitive nature would appreciate the service this office will offer. After having to deal with this office for the best part of almost 2 years, I hope those of you who are considering their services and want a good, fair, smooth process, seek alternate options. 1 star, becuase 0 doesnt exist. Response to the owner. That you claim that my ex was satisfied with your advice and service - a service prolonging the outcome, whilst achieving less than was tabled at the start of the process, only highlights the point of my initial review.

5 /5 Kasey Hahn: Could not recommend Cortnie and the team from FLM highly enough. For someone who had no idea on how the family law system worked, and after hearing horror stories about solicitors only being there for your money, it was a very anxious time attempting to select a solicitor to help me with my situation. From the moment of making initial contact, I felt at ease and comfortable making the decision to work with the company, and in particular Cortnie. It was a long and lengthy process getting to settlement date, but I was informed and things were clearly explained every step of the way. Although it was a costly exercise overall, there was not once I felt like I was being taken for a ride, or taken advantage of. I felt so supported, and ended up learning so much about the overall process. No question was ever a dumb one, and Cortnie was so approachable and always kept me informed. I can’t recommend her highly enough, and although I hope I never have to, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her and the team again!

5 /5 Elle Morand: 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.
