Cameron and Sarah went above and beyond to assist with a property settlement and divorce proceedings. Their attention to detail, knowledge of the family law, warm, kind and caring attitude made a difficult process much smoother. I highly recommend them and the whole team at Parker Coles Curtis.
Debora Parker is a very professional, helpful and experienced mediator. Made me feel comfortable and confident . Trustworthy, caring and kind. Would highly recommend
Boy how lucky was I to pick PCC to help me through my challenging circumstances and to have Sarah Rodrigues and her team handle proceedings - knowledgeable, compassionate and importantly of firm resolve. Struggling to wade through the quagmire alone talk with Sarah, I can highly recommend.
There are moments in life when everything feels complex, confusing, and overwhelming, when you need a team that not only understands the law but also understands you. My experience with Ms Debra Parker, June Cheng and the team at Parker Coles Curtis has been truly life-changing. From the very beginning, they approached my matter with exceptional professionalism, deep knowledge, and a genuine sense of compassion. They are trauma-informed and take a holistic approach, not just focusing on the legal process, but also on the person behind it. Whatever stage you are at in life, and no matter how complicated or disjointed things may seem, this is a team that will help you find clarity and direction. They simplify what often feels like an impossible process, communicate with care, and stand by you until the end. I’m deeply grateful for the support and guidance I received. I only wish I had reached out to them sooner, but even so, the outcome and the journey left me with renewed confidence and peace of mind. If you are standing at a crossroads and unsure what to do next, take the step. This is a firm that will listen, guide, and handle your matter with integrity, empathy, and excellence.
Debra Parker and Madeleine Bonadeo assisted me for 3 years with my legal matter. Their expertise and guidance throughout the process was incredible and when small mistakes were made, they were acknowledged, fixed and never repeated. I really appreciated their support and work, I would not have been able to achieve the same outcome if it weren't for them. Their role in supporting women throughout this process is commendable work. Thank you to the whole PCC team.
My experience with Parker Coles Curtis has been nothing short of exceptional, and I especially want to acknowledge the incredible work of Catherine Coles. After dealing with several solicitors in the past who achieved very little and left me feeling frustrated, Catherine completely turned my situation around. From the very beginning she has been brilliant – proactive, strategic, and genuinely invested in my case. She guided me through an incredibly complex and stressful process with clarity, care, and determination, and worked seamlessly with my barrister, James Haddock, who was absolutely outstanding at final hearing. What also stood out to me was that the entire team at Parker Coles Curtis go above and beyond. Every person I dealt with was professional, supportive, and truly committed to achieving the best possible outcome. Family law is never easy, but with Catherine and the team behind me, I felt supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend Parker Coles Curtis to anyone needing the very best family law representation. Catherine Coles is not only an exceptional lawyer but also a dedicated advocate who genuinely cares about her clients.
Catherine of Parker Coles Curtis was the help I needed at such a tough time. She helped me achieve the outcome I wanted and the experience plus service was priceless. This firm is highly recommended and would definitely use her again. Thankyou once again Catherine and Christine.
