What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Cairns, Millyard Family Lawyers has earned consistent praise for the way family law matters are managed with both skill and genuine care. Amanda Millyard is named repeatedly, credited with sound advice, accurate predictions about likely outcomes and the depth of experience she applies to complex separations and divorce proceedings. Team members Jess, Brittani, Jelkica and Eric also feature, with Eric noted for a warm reception and Jess for patient, persistent guidance through a complicated matter.

A recurring theme is the emotional difficulty of family law disputes and how the firm's respectful manner and steady support helped clients feel confident rather than defeated. More than one customer describes the service as professional, organised and efficient, with matters resolved promptly and communication maintained clearly throughout. The thorough method and commitment to securing strong results appear again and again, as does personal backing that went beyond what clients expected. Advice was explained plainly, and the caring, nurturing attitude shown during stressful periods left a lasting impression on those seeking help with family law issues.

I was quite vulnerable and felt defeated after 2yrs with a previous family lawyer. Crazy fact my Previous Lawyer sent the referral My first meeting with this firm was understandably emotional, I met Amanda Millyard and how thankful I am for this firm to accept my journey.

I found Amanda and Jelkica to be very thorough and personally supportive. Separation and divorce can be a difficult and emotional process. They both went above and beyond what would normally be expected. I appreciated their personal support and I also appreciated their high skill level and depth of experience. Eric who manages the accounts and greets you when you attend this practice, was also always warm and welcoming. My matter was successfully resolved and Amanda advocated strongly on my behalf. I can highly recommend their practice to anyone needing assistance with Family Law, and I am very grateful for their efforts in assisting me.
