What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Family Lawyers Mackay has built a following among clients dealing with separation, divorce, property settlement and parenting arrangements. Rebecca Casanovas is the practitioner named most often, described as patient, honest and thorough, explaining complex matters in plain language and staying contactable as circumstances change. Reviews time and again mention clear, upfront guidance on costs, including a refund after a matter concluded and an initial consultation where the firm advised against proceeding. Elise Foote is thanked for her knowledge and empathy across a long-running divorce and parenting dispute, while Ian Field is credited with a successful property outcome.

Recurring themes include responsiveness, careful attention to detail and a respectful manner during difficult periods. Clients mention help with consent orders, child support lump sum payments and domestic violence matters, along with referrals elsewhere when that suited their situation. Communication is a point that comes up often, with calls returned promptly and advice continuing as matters progressed. A recurring observation is that the process became easier to understand through plain explanations and honest guidance during settlement negotiations. Professionalism paired with genuine compassion is the quality clients keep returning to when describing their experience.

Rebecca made me feel so comfortable in a situation that I felt very vulnerable. She gave me good honest advice and supported me through one of my most hard times. I’ll always be appreciative of having her on my side.

Had a seamless and very professional experience helping me with my divorce proceedings. Costs very clear upfront, spent the time explaining everything to and how it works. Very nice firm, would highly recommend this team to help you out!

Separation is never easy, and it’s not a time when you feel at your best. Rebecca at Family Law gave clear, helpful advice and walked me through the settlement process in a way that made everything easier to understand. Google searches can only take you so far—real support from a knowledgeable professional makes all the difference.

I was very happy to have found Rebecca. After hearing some horror stories at work I avoided the bigger names in town and went to Family Lawyers Mackay. Rebecca explained things in simple terms, listened as things developed, was always available to talk, or called back in a very short time frame, and continued to provide advice as we progressed. I even got a refund once we had finalised. As much as I hope to not need a family lawyer again, if I did I hope Rebecca is still available.
