WE ARE A FAMILY LAW FIRM BASED IN BURLEIGH HEADS & THE BYRON SHIRE

To make the process as smooth and accessible as possible, scheduled appointments can be made in Burleigh Heads, Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, and Tweed Heads.

THE ROAD AHEAD

We practise exclusively in family law matters.

Our aim is to provide timely and focused family law advice to you, so that you can be involved in the process, and make informed decisions.

It is vitally important that family law and divorce matters get off on the right foot, so that you feel assured that your case is in the right hands.  Often getting the right advice first time from the right solicitor can be the difference between making the right decisions and the wrong decisions.

About us

We believe that information is power. A lack of information will keep you up at night. You should understand broadly how the law relates to your circumstances so you can make informed decisions.

Strategy is also important, and we strive to ensure you have a plan to move forward — with practical steps you can take and clarity about your role in the process. We treat clients the way we would want to be treated in the same circumstances. Separation and divorce are not easy, but navigating a path forward can make the journey less of a mystery and give you back some power in your own life.
