Australian Family Lawyers - Canberra

We came here expecting legal expertise for the money you pay. Adrian made document revision feel like a game of "spot the new mistake, and somehow the paperwork became less accurate the longer he worked on it, his inaccuracy even came down to the children’s names and followed through to the final orders which were beyond poorly written and even nearly a year later we are still dealing with those mistake via a contravention order. Would not recommend. Highly recommend if you're studying how not to be a family lawyer.

I initially engaged Jonathan for a specific set of matters, but he has been incredibly agile and accommodating as my circumstances changed along the way. He quickly understood that my priority has always been achieving peace and stability for myself and my children, and he guided me toward that outcome in the gentlest and most thoughtful way. Throughout what has been a very challenging time, Jonathan has been a constant source of calm, reassurance, and clear guidance. I’m truly grateful to have found a lawyer who combines professionalism with genuine common sense and integrity. Highly recommend.

Horrible experience, everything felt like a challenge. No expectation management, constantly had to follow up and even when details provided they somewhere would miss them. Didn't get the feeling they were on "your side" and often just felt like interactions were to keep the meter running.

Jonathan Statham from AFL is a fine lawyer. As a client I found his services very professional, thorough, timely & responsive. I felt he had my back, cared and was a great communicator. I highly recommend him for any family law matter.

Johnathan, Meaghan and the team are the best. They helped me get along this process with compassion and empathy which is rare in the scumy world of family court and family law. Jonathan is a really nice guy highly recommended using him.

Thank you so much, Jonathan and Adrian for all of your work and support during what was quite a difficult time. You were diligent, very accommodating and conscious of my budget. I’m very appreciative, I was able to obtain all the outcomes I needed from your services.

Jonathan was professional, supportive, and clear in his advice. He made a stressful process much easier, and I would highly recommend him for any family law matters.
