I engaged KF Lawyers Early March 2024 after basically going backwards with previous Law Firms. Through my sister she passed on the contact details of KF Lawyers Australia and I was introduced to Katrina Favre. From the first contact I had with Katrina and her firm, I had no hesitation in asking her if she would represent me. The quality of legal representation offered was unmatched to what I had experienced. Katrina and the firm cared about what my family was going through I was going through, after I explained what had happened and my situation. To this day I am not sure how complex my case was, but it did feel very complex to me as I had other legal matters to deal with and I do not understand the law at all. This is where Katrina is a master. She is not just a specialist Family Lawyer, she is much more with extensive experience. Katrina pointed me in the right direction with some very astute colleagues who could help with other matters that also had ways to influence family law case as well. I was being manipulated, extorted and pushed to the limit through the legal system and by the other side, who thought they could use the law to their full advantage and knew more. Well, sorry, let me tell you, they did not know who they were dealing with KF Lawyers the absolute guns. Katrina’s dedication, sheer will and tenacity is the absolute best second to none. She leaves no stone unturned. Working at who knows what hours all day every day. Her skill set is out of this world is just a natural her knowledge of the law is by far the absolute best you can get. Communication - you know exactly where you stand. Katrina will not tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear in a plain and simple way. Then she will let you know how she and her firm will get you through it. The best aspect is you don’t speak to a someone passing on a message you speak to the BOSS all the way through. I had consistent communication with my legal representation. Compassion - I was losing my mind sometimes, but Katrina and her firm always made sure I was ok as a person and looked out for me; she always asked about family, work and how I was coping etc. I was really blown away with the level of care. I felt like Katrina had my back the whole way, which helped me focus on other things like my children and my business. In the end everything worked out well above my expectation, and to this day, I still can’t believe the result Katrina got myself. Katrina was close to taking my case to hearing so I could move on with my life, but in less than three days before crunch time, it was done and dusted with an outcome I did not expect to achieve. I just left everything in Katrina’s hands, trusted that she would do the best by me, and she delivered more than I could hope for. To this day I hope no one has to go through the stress of the family law process. It was daunting for me and I struggled to find the right lawyer until I met Katrina. If you need the best Law Firm, and I say this with purpose and meaning, go straight to KF Lawyers Australia. They are the best and not buy a small margin buy a long way. I know KF Lawyers will always be our lawyer if needed. Katrina at KF Lawyers saved my life, my family, my business I will always be indebted to KF Lawyers. Thank you Katrina and KF Lawyers.

I’ve been a client of Katrina’s now on several occasion on different matters, each time she achieved an amazing result in the shortest possible time frame, I couldn’t give her a high enough recommendation 11 out of 10 👌

We could not be more greatful for the effort and care Katrina put into our matter. Katrina and the kf lawyers team made a stressful time of your lives a lot less stressful. She was there for us whenever we needed anything and was ontop of everything from beginning to end could not have asked for more. Was the best decision we made getting in touch with Katrina and should the need arise there is nowhere else we would go.

I engaged KF Lawyers Australia to represent me in a Family Law matter, after becoming dissatisfied with my previous Solicitor, and watching agreements made up until that point dissolve. I selected Katrina Favre on recommendation from the NSW Law Society. From first engagement, she has been a calming influence, extremely professional in her dealings, and saw negotiations through to agreement and finality in a firm but fair approach. I would recommend her to family and friends.

Katrina was recommended by another lawyer! (who is now practicing in London). And such a great recommendation it has been. Katrina has a wonderful combination of legal knowledge, professionalism, perceptiveness, and reassurance. She is so organised and astute, yet has a calm and warm presence. I know Katrina’s skills and attributes would assist clients with legal matters - civil, family or criminal. Thank you Katrina for everything.

KF Lawyers really surprised me with professionalism and service. I went to many law firms and was always felt that I wasn't important or my issues were not good enough but not with KF lawyers. This firm really put me first and made me feel valued. Katrina from the first talk cared and showed empathy. They always responded back to me and my enquiries asap and the firm gave me confidence that they will do their best and always came through HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

After enduring significant setbacks due to my previous lawyer’s failures, I was left feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. From the moment I engaged Katrina, everything changed. Katrina’s deep knowledge of family law, meticulous attention to detail, and strategic approach were nothing short of remarkable. She took the time to thoroughly understand the complexity of my case, patiently addressing my concerns while providing clear, honest advice. Katrina treated my situation with the utmost care and professionalism, ensuring I felt heard and supported every step of the way. If you need a skilled, dedicated family lawyer who genuinely cares, Katrina is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
