What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Divorce, property settlement and mediation work forms the backdrop to what clients say about Michael Lynch Family Lawyers. A recurring observation is that matters were handled with both competence and personal warmth, with reviewers noting they were kept informed at every stage rather than left wondering how their case was progressing. Named solicitors are singled out repeatedly: the expert advice that helped secure a desired outcome is thanked, a calm, thorough and diligent approach to an international matter with multiple moving parts is praised, and persistence and positivity across a difficult period is acknowledged.

Compassion and responsiveness during stressful proceedings earn credit, as does guidance and promptness in naturally long processes. A theme that emerges often is that additional requests were dealt with quickly and that clients felt able to make contact when urgent issues arose. Feedback also touches on fees being regarded as fair given the outcomes achieved, including settlements reached on favourable terms. What stands out across the accounts is the steadiness of that support through emotionally demanding family law cases, with clear communication and attention to detail mentioned again and again.

I can’t recommend Chrissy Trueman and Victoria Lierse highly enough as well as the Gold coast team including Steph and Olivia. They have been professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive throughout my family law matter. Their clear advice, responsiveness, and genuine care made a very stressful time much more manageable. I’m so grateful for their dedication and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing strong, supportive representation.

Extremely complex case and Debra & Bridget overcame multiple challenges to get the outcome I was hoping for. Well looked after and informed at all times. Would recommend both ladies for whatever is needed in your family law case.

Its been a horrendous 9 months but he has some how managed to stay positive and helpful at every turn. I wouldnt wish this on anyone but I know if any one asked for advice I would point them to julian in a heart beat. So incredibly thankful to have him on my team :)

I highly recommend Michael Lynch Family Lawyers. Although this is a reflection of all their representatives, in particular I wish to thank Chloe Leavy who provided me with invaluable guidance, professionalism and mindfulness of promptness which helps in these naturally long processes. I also found the fees reasonable and obtained a positive outcome with my family law settlement, so thank you to Chloe :)
