I owe my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to Bill Kordos, Yianni Kordos, Jessica Bagnall, Rachel Seear, and the entire team at AFL Kordos Lawyers for everything they have done for me throughout my property settlement matter. From the very beginning, the team showed an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, compassion, and genuine care during one of the most difficult and emotionally overwhelming periods of my life. My matter involved a complex and stressful property settlement process, including court proceedings and mediation, and throughout every stage, they stood by me with unwavering support and guidance. Bill and Yianni’s leadership, strategic advice, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome gave me strength and confidence throughout the entire journey. Jessica’s attention to detail, knowledge, preparation, and representation during mediation and throughout the proceedings were truly outstanding. Rachel’s kindness, patience, and support behind the scenes never went unnoticed and meant so much to me. Every communication from the team was clear, professional, honest, and easy to understand. They handled my matter with both exceptional legal skill and genuine empathy, always making me feel heard, supported, and reassured during such a challenging time. What truly sets this firm apart is not only their talent and experience in family law, but also the fact that they genuinely care about their clients as people. Their hard work and dedication have genuinely changed my life, and I will forever be grateful for everything they have done for me. I would recommend AFL Kordos Lawyers without the slightest hesitation to anyone going through a family law or property settlement matter. They are an incredibly skilled, hardworking, compassionate, and dedicated team, and I feel truly fortunate to have had them by my side. With my sincerest gratitude and appreciation.

Claudia was knowledgeable and professional at all times. She was compassionate and patient, and made sure I understood every step of the process. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I cannot thank George Kordos enough for everything he did for myself, and by proxy my child during an incredibly difficult separation. Unfortunately, I was dragged into family court by my ex-partner who was led by their woefully inadequate, money hungry lawyer. George’s skill, experience and professionalism saw straight through their delaying, money chewing tactics and moved heaven and earth to progress the matter in a cost effective way for me. The outcome his hard work delivered was far better than what I could have hoped for. George is one of the most compassionate, caring and genuine people I have ever had the privilege to meet. He listens, he understands, he is strategic and insightful. He also advocates for the best interests of the child at all times. George and Amber have my highest recommendation, and I would have zero hesitation in sending any of my family, friends or colleagues to him if they were to find themselves in need of family law services. Thankyou for everything G.

Anybody going through a separation is not emotionally easy and that is why you need people around you that really care. I was introduced to Bill Kordos about 6 years ago.. yes it took 6 years to reach a settlement. With false AVO (which we won) and been displaced from your own home, it was not easy however Bill understood and assured me that I could contact him at anytime 24/7 if I needed someone to talk to and he was true to his words taking my calls even in the weekends. I had a very complicated asset portfolio and he assigned me Amber and Rhiannon and later James. The team was absolutely amazing. Amber also went beyond her call of duty to check on me and was always available even for the smallest of things. Even though they are no winners in the family court especially for the breadwinners however after a lengthy court battle and a 5 day trail, we were still able to salvage a reasonable result from the sinking ship. Lawyers are never cheap and if one can resolve it among themselves then that is the best outcome however the family court system is completely broken and the amount of discretionary powers that judges have is a legal minefield. That is why one needs to have experts in their corner from day one and AFL Kordos comes with the highest recommendation. '

AFL Kordos Lawyers is the only firm you want by your side when you have to go through the Family Court process. It's that simple! In what was almost a 4 year process, my journey began with Bill Kordos and Georgia Mort and shortly after I was joined by George Kordos. From the very first meeting with Bill and Georgia I knew I had the right people to represent me and my children. To say I was a broken mess when I first walked into their office would be an understatement, I couldn't even breathe. After being falsifying accused of being a danger to my children I had no legal access to the 3 little people I lived for. Bill and Georgia listened with intent to get an understanding of who I was, what I had been through, where I was at that point in time and what the children and I needed. My case started that very day and it wasn't long until Bill helped me gain access to my children and I could once again breathe. The Family Law System is broken and as such an absolute nightmare to navigate and survive without Kordos Lawyers. All men are not the same and we should not all be treated like the monsters that are out there, who claim to be fathers. I’d like to say a very big thank-you to the firm and in particular to George and Georgia for all their expertise, professionalism, diligence, attention to detail, advice and EMPATHY shown and provided to me through my matter. It was an extremely difficult time for me and the children and these two people helped me and my family through the process and made it all the easier to come to terms with. George was strong, focused and composed when I was weak and out of fight, he pulled me through. To state it’s merely appreciated would be understated. A further special mention goes out to Georgia Mort for EVERYTHING you have done for the children and me. Yes, it’s your work but I feel that you have gone over and beyond in assisting me, guiding me and for the EMPATHY you have shown me. You allowed me to vent and kept me grounded so many times, taking and making late calls, replying to txt messages and responding to emails at all hours of the day. On a personal level, I truly felt and saw you as my friend throughout this process not my lawyer. For this I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay you! Today I have full parental responsibility for my children and I owe it all to AFL Kordos Lawyers.

I have been dealing with George and Bill for over 5 years now. After being pulled back through more court cases due an unpleasant ex. George & Evan rallied around my case to ensure I could be reunited with my children. Due to the uncertainty and many loop holes in the system this caused many delays. Those delays never caused George to miss a step, Infact pushing harder for results. Within this whole period Brought many challenges, which included extra court cases which would then bring my new family & home into the firing line. Again George rallied around me to ensure I was okay emotionally / financially. George helped me win across all aspects of all cases, and now can say chapter closed. I can not thank George and the team enough, and always am quick to highly recommend them to all my family and friends. Also thanks to Amber who’s always on hand for the last minute changes or questions. Always turning up to work ready to take on all challenges without a fuss.
