What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Co-parenting arrangements, consent orders, child custody and property settlement are the family law matters this practice handles, and the accounts gathered from clients point to a consistently steady and reassuring manner. People frequently describe arriving unsure about how the process worked and then finding that the team helped them understand each stage, which took much of the fear out of the court paperwork. Ivy is named for the thoughtful help she gave with co-parenting questions and for calling back to address concerns so that a client felt comfortable moving forward.

Sonalia is credited with guiding a property division matter without losing the client along the way, explaining each step plainly as it arose. The lawyers are spoken of as professional, organised and focused, and their calm handling is linked to a constructive atmosphere in which difficult subjects were treated respectfully. A theme raised again and again is communication: queries were answered, advice was given in language that made sense and clients felt cared for rather than processed. Domestic violence matters, custody disputes and property division all feature in what people wrote.

Had an initial consultation with Collective Family Law about getting a Binding Financial Agreement for my divorce settlement. They were very helpful and informative - asking pertinent questions and openly answering the questions I had. Even from just this initial conversation I'm confident that they would handle my case properly and well. Well update if/when things have progressed further.

Had to get consent orders done for co-parenting. A lot of forms and court stuff, but the team made it way less scary and helped us get it sorted properly. Many thanks to the entire team
