4.7 / 5 · 26 totalAs former client, I wouldn’t recommend this law firm to anyone. I didn’t feel that they work in my or my kids best interests. Passive and unexperienced part time lawyer(better be called paralegal) was involved in my case. After my kids were kidnapped and returned home to Australia under Hague Convention of International Child Abduction, this lawyer failed to understand this case and my kids best interests to have both parents in their life. My mistake to stay with this team as long as I did.
Highly reputable firm. I have primarily dealt with Chris Walker and Jane Kellet in a sensitive family law matter. When litigation is urgent, it is immensely reassuring to receive timely correspondence, even outside normal working hours. I developed deep respect for both Chris and Jane when my affidavits were due urgently and they worked relentlessly to ensure everything was completed on time (and the deadlines were brutal). The lawyers have great emotional maturity and there is a familial sense to the firm. This makes litigation a lot less stressful, and more productive when your representation has a sharp ability to situate themselves from your position as client. It is a comforting thing to be in the hands of people who know their stuff. I would specifically recommend Howe Jenkin to anyone involved in high-stakes disputes.
Anthony Siklich (Howe Jenkin) is a highly professional, knowledgeable and rigorous lawyer but with the emotional intelligence, honesty and innate common sense which is critical in these matters. He is just the right lawyer to help you get through a difficult family law matter.
Absolutely could not recommend this firm enough. I was lucky enough to engage the services of their solicitor Tim Peters, whose vast knowledge of the law, along with his calm demeanour and unwavering support helped to successfully navigate very complex parenting and property matters to achieve an extremely pleasing result.
Practical, common sense, wise counsel. Greg and Nicole are genuinely trusted advisers, steady hands in tough times. Five stars.
I started with Jane Kellett 18 months ago after a long messy 18 month litigation with my prior solicitor. Jane is very experienced, thorough, conscious of her clients wants and is extremely efficient. Jane has a practical approach while considering her clients values. Jane also has the best writing for legal communication, court applications and affidavits. She spends a large amount of time and effort making sure her clients documents give her client the best outcome with thorough facts and context. Even till the early hours of the morning when necessary. The biggest gift Jane has given to me is the patience and calm mind to sit and think to respond correctly with out reacting to my ex partners toxic communication style. I am so thankful for Janes patience throughout my case when at times I wasn't stable or able to be practical. I believe Jane is a solid choice for managing many family law issues at once, even the messy and confusing.
I could not recommend Tim Peters enough. Tim provided a rational perspective and sound advice through an emotional, irrational and difficult family situation for me. We had a clear plan which was achieved and my life has changed for the better as a result. If you seek an experienced lawyer that speaks a reality, clearly and is easily understood, do yourself a favor and contact Tim at Howe Jenkin and put the past behind you in an affordable manner. Thanks Tim and the wider Howe Jenkin team - an easy 5 star rating!
