What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Parents navigating divorce and custody disputes describe the work of this Melbourne family law practice in consistently positive terms, with Luke and Olivia named repeatedly as the solicitors who guided them through the process. Several customers describe feeling heard and believed at a point when they doubted their position, particularly in matters involving parenting arrangements and time with children, and they credit the team with explaining each step clearly and keeping communication prompt before and after hearings.

Reviewers frequently point to a calm, steady approach during court appearances and negotiations, which they say reduced the stress of an emotional experience. The result itself is a recurring theme: clients note that matters progressed after periods of inactivity elsewhere and that fair, workable outcomes were reached, including arrangements for overnight care. Paula is also praised for replying quickly to emails and keeping clients informed.

Beyond technical skill, one thing mentioned again and again is the genuine care shown toward clients' lives as well as the legal outcome, with the team described as professional, patient and supportive throughout. Confidence, knowledge of family law procedure and persistence in advocating for clients round out the picture, and the same names arise across matters involving divorce, parenting and intervention order proceedings.

Luke and all off his great staff, made my days in court a lot less stressful. Luke showed great support, attention and navigated me through a biased system. Highly recommend Seitz & Pepper Family Law

The team at Seitz & Pepper have been amazing, their communication and commitment to my case has been above and beyond. Particularly Olivia and Luke as they have actually understood the painful process and displayed care about my life as well as the outcome. I hope I never have to use you again but would in a heartbeat if I needed too.

Spoke with Luke, brilliant, he helped me but no charge, his awareness and information second to none. If you need a solicitor , please use Seitz and Pepper. I called around they were the best.

I cannot recommend Luke highly enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, supportive, understanding, and always made me feel heard throughout what was a very emotional and dramatic journey with my IVO case etc. Luke guided me every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and fought hard for the best possible outcome. His dedication, knowledge, and genuine care made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Thanks to Luke's hard work and expertise, we won the case. I am incredibly grateful for all the support he provided during one of the most challenging times in my life. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about his clients and delivers outstanding results, Luke is the person you want on your side. Thank you again, Luke, for everything you did for me and my family you and your team. Highly recommend you wont be disappointed 👏

Rebecca, Luke and Olivia were amazing, they were understanding and incredible when it came to my divorce/processing. I would highly recommend them especially in dealing with tedious and difficult ex-partners.

After a year being unable to get more time with my kids, I decided I needed to take some action if I ever wanted things to change. I had my ex and others telling me there was no chance a court would rule in my favour or give me overnights. I felt like my relationship with my kids was completely at my ex's discretion. Luke and Olivia were some of the first people to believe me, to see past the picture that had been painted of me, and show me that there was actually a way forward that allowed me to re-establish a relationship with my kids, and some autonomy in my role as their father. A year and a half later I have a set of orders that promises roughly 3 overnights a week, after a period of scaffolding time. It's been a difficult road, but I'm grateful for the work Luke, Olivia, and the whole team put in to get me to where I needed to be.

We, George and Kay, are the parents of Jason Steel, a client of Saltz & Pepper Family Lawyers. We would like to publicly express our gratitude to Luke and Olivia who worked closely and tirelessly on Jason's behalf to achieve an outcome that was much better than either of us anticipated. There are good lawyers and then there are Saltz and Pepper, outstanding lawyers. To anyone who has concerns about a fair and equitable property settlement, you can do no better than Saltz and Pepper.
