I provide professional, cost effective representation and legal advice for clients dealing with the Family Court in relation to care of children or family harm applications.
I am an approved provider for legal aid.
If you do not qualify for legal aid we can explore options which may nonetheless allow for affordable representation.
I provide professional service in accordance with the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2008.
