Mitchell Family Lawyers ( Shae) and staff were outstanding. I had no idea what to expect going into my matter, but i was soon put at eze after the 1st call from Shae. The staff in office are top notch and handled my calls promptly and efficiently and respectfully. If you need help with a Family Law matter then I highly recommend Shae and the Team.

Shae and Madeline have been nothing short of amazing. They go above and beyond to help support and ensure you feel at ease during a stressful time. They made me feel very comfortable in an unknown environment. Would highly recommend.

Shae is an extraordinarily talented solicitor who was instrumental in achieving a fair, timely, and just outcome during my separation. She approached my matter with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care, and it was clear from the outset that she prioritises her clients’ best interests above all else. Shae has extensive knowledge in family law, and it was truly a privilege to watch her work. I’ve since recommended Shae to friends, to which she has delivered the same exceptional standard of care for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shae and her practice to anyone needing support with family law matters.

As a dad of two, I trusted Shae with the most important thing in my life during an extremely complex and hostile divorce. She stood her ground against much larger legal teams, demonstrated absolute mastery of family law, and at times completely schooled opposing counsel. Her advice was clear, her advocacy unwavering, and her fees more than fair given the complexity of the matter. If you want a solicitor who will genuinely fight for you in family court, I cannot recommend Shae and her firm highly enough.

Shae's legal advice has been incredible and has helped me through some pretty stressful times. She is always prompt, efficient, easy to talk to and her advice is always valid and to the point. I would highly recommend Mitchell Family Lawyers to anyone needing advice or representation in a family law matter.

Shae is an absolute powerhouse! She’s calm, confident and seriously knows her stuff. From day one I knew I was in the best hands — she’s the kind of lawyer everyone respects (and maybe a little fears in the courtroom!). Shae fought hard for me, stayed firm when things got tough, and always had a clear strategy. She’s not just smart — she’s fierce, fair and genuinely cares about getting the right outcome. Couldn’t recommend Shae and the Mitchell Family Lawyers team more highly!

Shae is amazing. She has displayed an incredible amount of empathy for my situation, and has worked exceptionally hard to achieve a desirable outcome in my case. From the moment that I first approached Shae with the issues that I was facing, I felt in safe hands. Mitchell Family Lawyers are an extremely professional team, and I can't speak highly enough of them. My two daughters and I will be eternally grateful.
