What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Separation, parenting arrangements and family court disputes dominate the accounts left about this Wollongong practice, and the same names surface again and again. Natasha Hewlett, Cassandra Garforth and Cass are each singled out for the patience, warmth and clarity they brought to fraught circumstances, with clients describing solicitors who explained each stage in plain terms rather than hiding behind legal jargon. Something that features in review after review is the personal footing of the service: people felt heard as individuals dealing with real consequences, not processed as another file, and they note that questions were answered promptly as matters progressed.

Those caught in parenting disagreements describe being steadied by advice that mapped out their choices and restored a measure of control, while the welfare of children shaped the recommendations they received. Reviewers speak of results that surpassed what they had anticipated after lengthy proceedings, crediting careful preparation, attention to detail and compassion during an emotional stretch. The dependable support of the wider team in court is mentioned repeatedly, and parenting matters, separation guidance and family court representation run through the feedback.

I cannot recommend Laura highly enough. From the very beginning, she was an incredible source of support during what was an emotionally challenging time. Her empathy, kindness, and genuine care truly set her apart, and I always felt she had my best interests at heart. Laura guided me through my separation and divorce with both professionalism and compassion. Her calm and reassuring approach made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel far more manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she has done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and South Coast Family Law Group to anyone needing a family lawyer.

I recently reached out to the South Coast Family Law Group for assistance and advice on a sensitive and somewhat stressful family legal matter. I was introduced to Natasha Fuller, whom I can not speak highly enough about. Her friendly and caring nature, combined with her vast professional experience and knowledge, left me feeling completely at ease and with a clear understanding of my legal options. (It was like someone had lifted a load of concrete off my shoulders and completely cleared my mind of any concerns). Thank you Natasha and all of the team members.at SCFLG. Five Stars is an understatement and I will recommend you to anyone requiring Family Law assistance. My kindest regards and gratitude. Dave Warren

I would highly recommend South Coast Family Law Group. Natasha Hewlett represented myself in my family court matter. Natasha and her team were very professional, understanding, helpful and made the whole experience so much easier. Family court matters are one of the most stressful things you will ever have to go through. Having a good team behind you makes all the difference. I couldn’t fault Natasha or her team if I tried. Thank you Natasha and team. Kind regards Christian

I couldn’t recommend South Coast Family Law Group enough. From the very beginning, they made the entire process feel human and grounded, even when dealing with complex legal matters. They never made me feel like just another number! They genuinely understood that this is my life, my future, and most importantly, my daughter’s life. Their experience shows in every conversation. They take the time to explain things clearly, touch on every detail, and make sure I always feel supported and informed. They consistently go above and beyond, and their compassion has made one of the hardest situations feel manageable

Cassandra Garforth was recommended to me by a friend when I needed advice after my separation. Her professional, understanding and compassionate nature reassured me that I had made the correct choice. The outcome in my case was better than expected and I could not recommended highly enough Cassandra and her team for their assistance. Worth the 5 star review!
