What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Newcastle matters involving separation and property settlement dominate the feedback for this family law practice, and property division in particular emerges as the issue clients return to most. Several reviewers describe the value of having their position explained in plain terms and of feeling genuinely listened to, with clear advice offered at every stage and contact that stayed consistent from the first meeting through to the conclusion of a matter. Individual lawyers are named repeatedly: Jessica Fordham is credited with restoring belief in the legal process during a lengthy and complicated case, while Angela and Montana are thanked for guiding clients through difficult family situations.

Kieran is described as professional, considerate and supportive, walking clients through each step, and Kristie earns praise for empathy and steadiness across a demanding year; Karen is also mentioned for clarifying the legal aspects of a situation. A point that comes up often is the combination of warmth and thorough, polished work, with patience and kindness noted alongside diligence. Divorce and broader family law matters attract the same observations, and satisfaction with the outcomes reached runs through the accounts, particularly where earlier negotiations had stalled.

I contacted Hebblewhite at a difficult and confusing time in my life and I am so thankful I did. Sarah was knowledgeable, professional and offered excellent advice whilst also listening to what I wanted. My experience resulted in the best possible outcome for my family. I am extremely grateful for Sarah and the team at Hebblewhite!

Jessica Fordham is highly professional and trustworthy. In my complex family law case that lasted over six years, I went through four different lawyers. For five years, the other side repeatedly demanded 85% of the property settlement at mediation. Jessica was the first lawyer who gave me confidence in the legal system. She truly listened to me and understood my situation. Even though English is not my first language, she was able to accurately express my concerns and advocate for me. She helped turn a very unfavourable position into a 50/50 settlement at mediation, allowing me to finally move on with my life. I am deeply grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dedicated and effective family lawyer

I cannot recommend Hebblewhite Lawyers, and especially Kieran, highly enough. He went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for my complex personal legal matters during one of the most stressful periods of my life. Throughout the entire process, Kieran was professional, considerate, and supportive. He represented me with a high level of professionalism and took the time to walk me through every step, ensuring I always understood the process and what to expect. His knowledge, dedication, and support throughout the process helped achieve the best possible outcome for my legal matters. I would highly recommend Kieran to anyone looking for a trusted and highly reliable family lawyer.

Though my interactions with this firm were brief the firm was professional throughout. Kieran Ridley, who was engaged in a previous firm with me, made the transition to Hebblewhite Lawyers smooth so that there was immediate continuation. He was communicative and empathetic.

My experience with the team at Hebblewhite has been exceptional, and I'd like to personally thank Kristie in particular. The past year has been an emotional whirlwind, and having someone as experienced, steady, and genuinely empathetic as Kristie in my corner made all the difference. She gave me the strength and confidence to keep going at the times I felt like giving up. My matter has been complicated and anything but straightforward, and she handled every layer of it with calm, clear guidance and absolute competence. I’m incredibly grateful for the way she represented me. Her support, clarity, and commitment were far beyond anything I expected, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I knew I’d found a unicorn was when my ex actually said, “Your lawyer is really good. She runs rings around mine. I wish I’d found her.” Kristie is outstanding at what she does, and I’m so thankful I had her guiding me through this process.
