What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Divorce law is the focus of this Cairns firm, and the feedback left by clients consistently highlights how matters are guided from the initial conversation to the final outcome. Sheree is mentioned by name for her professionalism, her quick replies and her determination to achieve a strong result, with settlement work described as being managed competently and with clear updates throughout. Accounts also reference Rochelle Ryan, who is praised for her diligence, her knowledge and a genuine compassion that clients say made a real difference in complicated family disputes; one family credits her advice and support with securing a positive outcome for their grandchildren.

A point made in several accounts is the sense of being kept informed and supported through stressful personal circumstances, with clients recalling a steady and reassuring presence. Responsiveness, expertise in divorce and settlement matters, and a personal approach stand out across the feedback, and cases involving grandchildren and other sensitive family situations are remembered for the care and thoroughness applied to them.

Rochelle is diligent, knowledgeable and genuinely compassionate. The advice and support we received enabled us to get a good outcome for our grandchildren. Rochelle navigated us through a difficult and complicated matter with finesse.

Rochelle Ryan from Preston Law I found myself between a rock and a hard place, in need for a Solicitor. I was scared, helpless and felt all alone as if there was no way out of my personal matters. I spoke to a few people who told me with great confidence that Rochelle was the one I needed to speak to as she is “the best”. After hearing this from trusted sources, I actively looked for Rochelle, and when I found her, she was straight onto it and invited me in for an initial consultation. After spending five minutes with Rochelle, I felt comfort, reassurance and confident in my case. Rochelle took lead and guided me through the entire process, giving me options; but also taking the time to explain each option and what these choices would make for me long-term. I then had the pleasure of watching Rochelle work in a courtroom, which boosted my confidence in her a hundred times over. Rochelle is very knowledgeable, professional, reliable, down to earth and she genuinely had my best interest at heart moving forward. I would have went another direction without her, however, with her in my corner giving me the reassurance and professional information I needed, I was able to make choices that helped me achieve the exact outcome I was looking for to begin with. I would recommend Rochelle to any and all in need of support. Thank you, Rochelle, and thank you Preston Law

Best decision I ever made choosing Sheree to represent me. Handled my settlement so professionally and communicated everything along the way. Will definitely use (if needed) their services again in the future
