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.
Julian has been an absolute god send! So amazing at every turn and always willing to go the extra mile. 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 :)
The Michael Lynch Family Lawyers team is extremely professional, reliable, personable and has an extensive family law knowledge that made me feel at ease. The team members go above and beyond and I cannot recommend them to anyone enough! Easy five stars.
Extremely professional team & great to deal with. They are right in the middle of the CBD, which makes getting to their office very easy. Highly recommend Michael Lynch Family Lawyers!
I’ve had a great working relationship with Michael Lynch Family Lawyers for the past six years and consistently recommend them for their professionalism, exceptional communication with me and their attentiveness. This is a team of experts in their field who continually show themselves as tenacious and resilient in working toward a fair outcome.
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 :)
