Where do I even start with Sage? Five stars simply isn’t enough. I came to Sage after being represented by three different law firms, so when I say these guys have your back and your partner’s back I genuinely mean it. If I’d found Sage from the beginning, I would have saved myself months of stress, frustration, and a significant amount of money. I can’t thank Naveed and Paul enough. As a father going through the family court system, it can feel incredibly difficult to find people who truly listen, believe in you, and fight for you. Unfortunately, my experience with previous firms made that even harder. Looking back, I honestly believe that if I’d had Sage representing me from day one, I would have been in a much stronger position. Sage took on my case with only three weeks before mediation, which meant they had an enormous amount of work to do in a very short time. From the moment they came on board, Naveed was proactive sending emails, following up, and making sure every detail was addressed. His work ethic and dedication were outstanding. What also impressed me was that they genuinely cared about my partner who’s a third party and many firms don’t want to touch or protect third parties instead use them as collateral to make the clients case better, which is morally wrong but Paul an Naveed treated her with respect and listened to her. Other firms weren’t interested in supporting her or doing what we believed was the right thing. Sage looked beyond the circumstances and fought for what was fair and right. For the first time in a long time, I feel like the narrative has finally changed. Other firms promised me they would achieve that, but Sage actually delivered without me having to chase them or constantly ask and beg. It’s important to note I never felt my voice was heard or validated with other firms, from the start my partner and I felt heard and instead of telling me what to do Naveed gave me he’s professional opinion and then let me decide on the path I wanted to take and that’s how it should be. Thank you to everyone at Sage, and a special thank you to Naveed and Paul. Keep doing what you do and standing up for what’s right in a system that is heavily against men. Your professionalism, dedication, and genuine care have made a real difference to my partner and my life already I’ll always be grateful.

I chose Sage Family Lawyers after searching law firms on google and looking at google reviews. I am so glad I took notice of these reviews. I also looked at Doyle’s Guide for further reassurance. Sage Family Lawyers are a dedicated team who are professional, knowledagable and without question supreme. I would not go anywhere else. Natasha Mastroianni is the absolute best. There are no words that can adequately express my gratitude to her. I am in awe of her ability and her tenacity. My legal case was a complicated and lengthy process which was physically, mentally and emotionally challenging but I was beyond fortunate to have Natasha steering the ship. Natasha is the ultimate professional. She is knowledgeable, patient, extremely kind, she listens, ensures she understands, is compassionate, honest, supportive, child focused and dedicated to her clients. Natasha goes above and beyond. She listens and answers all questions honestly even the silly ones. She explains complicated situations in simply terms. Natasha responds in a timely manner and is incredibly organised and efficient and most importantly knows and understands the law. I felt reassured having her as my solicitor as I knew I was in the best hands. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I was able to discuss things at every turn and was always given the pros and cons of all options and the best legal advice. Natasha worked with me to secure the best legal team. Ultimately Natasha and my Senior Counsel got an exceptional outcome. We all know that Orders can change peoples lives. In this case Natasha is responsible for an outcome that during the lengthy process felt impossible but ultimately has been life changing and in my daughter’s best interest. I now feel like I can live life again. If you need an exceptional lawyer look no further than Natasha Mastroianni. Don’t risk your future and your child's future on any other legal team.

Olivia and the team helped me through a rough separation, focusing on what needed to be done, while treating me with respect and consideration. I am extremely grateful to have been able to hand over the practicalities to them and recommend Sage unconditionally.

I had the pleasure of working with Natasha Mastroianni on a family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first meeting, Natasha was not only professional but also compassionate, making me feel supported throughout the entire process. She addressed all issues in a timely and thoughtful manner, always considering the impact of negotiations on my situation. Her practical approach and attention to detail gave me confidence that I was in good hands. If you're looking for a dedicated and experienced lawyer, look no further than Natasha. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients!

I cannot recommend Olivia Melville highly enough. Family law can be overwhelming, but Olivia made me feel heard, supported and genuinely cared for. She has the rare ability to balance professionalism with exceptional legal expertise and does it with empathy, integrity and a level of attention to detail that gave me confidence throughout the entire process. What stood out most was her ability to listen and understand the circumstances without judgement and knowing I had someone truly in my corner who was committed to achieving the best possible outcome while always acting in my best interests made all the difference. Family law requires more than legal knowledge alone—it requires trust. Olivia had mine from day one, Olivia is an incredibly supportive, compassionate and understanding family lawyer and I would not hesitate to recommend her to others seeking exceptional legal representation or navigating complex matters. I am incredibly grateful to have had her by my side. Thank you Olivia!

So thankful for all the assistance and guidance I received during a very stressful time. Family Law can be a long emotional process. Working with Natasha was so reassuring. She listened well and gently directed me with practical advice, ensuring my expectations were sensible and practical. No question was too small or silly, and Natasha took the time to walk me through legal procedures when I was feeling nervous and unsure. Communication was always timely. There was real transparency with all costs, so I had no surprises. A personal recommendation led me to Natasha at Sage Family Lawyers, and I would personally recommend them, especially Natasha, to friends or family with no hesitation.

I had a really positive experience working with Olivia at Sage Family Lawyers. From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive during what was a stressful time. Olivia took the time to clearly explain each step of the process and made sure I felt informed and confident in my decisions. She was not only knowledgeable and thorough, but also compassionate and understanding, which made a huge difference. I truly felt like she had my best interests at heart and handled everything with care and integrity. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and supportive family lawyer.
