What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Depth of legal knowledge combined with genuine personal care emerges repeatedly from accounts of this Newcastle practice. Several reviewers describe family law matters, among them parenting disputes and property settlements, being managed with empathy and clear explanation, while others point to criminal justice work such as apprehended violence order cases and courtroom representation. Natalie Russell is named often for her patience in unpacking complex processes and her prompt replies by email and phone. Joshua Kershaw features in accounts of urgent parenting matters and property settlement files, where clients note he kept matters moving efficiently.

Maddison Battese draws praise for thorough preparation, following through on commitments and easing the experience of appearing in court, with her fixed fee described as fair and lightening financial pressure. Sonia is credited for proactive conveyancing, keeping transactions on track and attending to detail. Something that features in review after review is transparent communication from first contact onward, alongside honest, practical advice and a steadying presence at hearings.

We recently engaged Joshua Kershaw at Conditsis Lawyers for a family law property settlement matter. Whilst the matter was not overly complex, it had stalled and we were conscious of keeping legal costs to a minimum. From the outset, Joshua was approachable and empathetic — he understood the emotional weight these matters carry and handled everything with genuine care. He was efficient and responsive throughout, moving things along at pace without ever making us feel rushed or like just another file on the desk. He was always transparent about costs and consistently mindful of our budget, helping us navigate the process practically and without unnecessary expense. The matter has now concluded with Final Orders made by the Court and we are very happy with the outcome. Would highly recommend Joshua to anyone needing sound family law advice — particularly where you want someone who is not only knowledgeable but genuinely invested in your outcome.

I engaged Joshua Kershaw to represent me in an urgent parenting matter, and I couldn't be more grateful for his support. From the very beginning, Joshua was attentive, compassionate, and incredibly professional. He guided me through a very stressful situation with confidence and care, and thanks to his dedication, I achieved the best possible outcome. If you're looking for a lawyer who is genuinely in your corner and will fight for you every step of the way, I can't recommend Joshua highly enough. My case was far from straightforward and became quite complex at times, but Joshua consistently reassured me, kept me informed throughout the entire process, and made sure I understood everything that was happening. His communication, knowledge, and commitment were exceptional. Thank you, Josh, for your outstanding work and unwavering support. I would highly recommend you to anyone needing assistance with parenting matters

I highly recommend Kayla Nielsen at Conditsis Lawyers. Kayla was incredibly helpful, caring, and understanding throughout my situation. She took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and provided honest, practical advice when I needed it most. I never felt rushed or judged, and her genuine compassion made a difficult time much easier to navigate. If you're looking for a lawyer who is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her clients, I would not hesitate to recommend Kayla. Thank you for your support and guidance.

I want to say a huge thank you to Maddison Battese and her exceptional work throughout the entire process. Maddison represented me at court to appeal against a licence suspension of 3 months. From the initial consultation phone call I had with her she gave me a reassurance that she would do all she could to get the most favourable outcome to hopefully reduce my time of suspension. Throughout the entire process both Maddison and Amy’s communication was extremely professional. Attending to any questions that I had and providing me with the guidance to obtain the best references and recommending the best traffic offenders program to help my case. Today was an unbelievable outcome with my appeal being upheld in its entirety. No licence suspension. I truely believe that this would have not been obtainable without Maddison in my corner. A true professional. Thanks Maddison and the team at Conditsis Lawyers. Amazing result!

We had a fantastic experience working with Sonia as our conveyancer. She was professional, kind, and incredibly proactive throughout the entire process. Sonia kept everything on track, communicated clearly, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond really stood out. We’re so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable conveyancer.
