A heartfelt thank you, Joplin, Joanna, Jezara & Alyssa, for your professionalism, support, and guidance throughout my matter. You made a difficult time much easier to navigate, and I truly appreciated your communication and dedication. I would confidently recommend their services, they are exceptional!
Would give them 10 stars if I could!! Highly recommend especially for complex cases and DV in family law!! I came to them with a mess of a case, very complex and I was losing. From the first meeting, they turned my case around. By the time we reached final hearing, they presented an air-tight case and I was successful in securing sole parental responsibility of my children. They helped me protect my children and also myself from the perpetrator. The best legal team in the area, and I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for me! Thank you Joplin, Erin and the team ❤️
****. Don't wastet your time or money with this firm in my opinion. ***** Seem too busy to return calls and provide explanations so yeah if you want to loat time and money and maybe even the possibility of losing custody of your child, do what they told me, go look elsewhere online for my answers. Worst legal firm I have ever had an interactions with. Never return calls when they say they will. Tell you what you want to hear over the phone, ask for a paid consultation and then tell you something different. They don't know what each other is doing on the case in my opinion and say it's someone else's problem. The lady I spoke to was very evasive and her response was to just go look online.
If you’re a father I would not recommend approaching this firm. I paid almost $500 for the initial consultation, the senior solicitor I met in Maitland was rude during the consultation , I walked out of there as a full time working dad paying child support thinking I no longer had rights to my child and a mother that refused to follow shared parenting orders. Leanne Gallagher was very good which is why I chose to approach a female solicitor at Joplin
Erin and the team at Joplin are the most professional, kind, caring, compassionate people I have been involved with I would 1000% recommend Joplin Lawyers to anyone going through family law Thank you once again
I highly recommend Joplin Lawyers. Joplin is very knowledgeable and professional. Right from the start, Joplin provided a high level professionalism and handled matters efficiently. I could not have asked for better representation.
Represented by Claire Braniff. The service I received from Claire was absolutely second to none. She goes above & beyond to make sure you receive the best possible outcome for YOU! It is apparent also, that the Joplin Lawyers team is just that, a team & an incredible one at that. Claire’s dedication, commitment & focus remained steadfast to my whole case, start to finish. An approachable, compassionate, professional & extremely capable law firm. I would not recommend another.
