Smith Family Lawyers Melbourne

From the moment I met Denise, I knew I had found the right lawyer to represent me and my two children in our family law matter. Throughout our entire case, Denise showed such deep care and genuine concern for everything we had been through, what we were facing, and what was ahead. She was truly remarkable. Her attention to detail, incredible memory, flawless documentation, and vast knowledge of the law were backed by her tireless work ethic. She continuously did everything humanly possible to achieve the best outcome for my family, tackling every single aspect of our case with total integrity. While sharing her legal expertise, she made sure I understood the process, my choices, and the potential outcomes with absolute clarity. She did all of this, whilst having a rare, incredible ability to humanise a difficult system, always bringing everything back to what mattered most for our real lives. Thank you again Denise, Ben and the entire team at Smith Family Law

I don't normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. Working with Denise Yew was exceptional. Denise is truly outstanding at what she does- professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Denise's clear communication, responsiveness and genuine care made a stressful situation feel manageable and gave me complete confidence. I would also like to sincerely thank Smith Family Lawyers. Every interaction was positive, professional and reassuring. They are an exceptional team. I cannot recommend Denise and Smith Family Lawyers highly enough. Thank you again Denise for your outstanding support.

Jane H was awesome. She listened, was kind, and provided me with very sound practical, strategic advice of how to manage an ex's extremely difficult behaviour. Highly recommended.

I’m not normally one to provide testimonials but because I felt the service I experienced with Smith Family Law was of such high level that it needed recognition. Going through a relationship breakup is an emotionally draining experience and in the midst of it all you need to make a bunch of important sound decisions that help ‘set up’ your future life. It’s fundamentally important to have someone trustworthy in your corner to help navigate through all the complexities of separation. It took 12 months to get through my separation from my partner of 18 years which could’ve been longer if it weren’t for the poise demonstrated by Ben and his team at Smith Family Law. They were professional, strategic, wise and transparent. During the entire journey I felt supported by them, often through emotionally stressful situations. A special thanks to Denise for the calm and positive atmosphere she created. The dedication to her vocation is evident and truly appreciated. She was able to bring the human element into the mix making it feel a more personable experience rather than transactional.

To be honest I could not recommend highly enough. Ben Smith was amazing at a very difficult time. He was everything lawyers ‘supposedly are not’ he was kind, caring, empathetic and always aware of costs involved and how I could save myself huge costs that most law firms charge. He advised when I could do things myself and recommended wonderful barristers to take over when required. All of the staff I dealt with over the phone were courteous and helpful and followed up the huge amount of questions I had. Any divorce is a difficult time and I felt listened to and understood, when I’m sure at times, I made no sense at all. Thank you Ben for your wonderful guidance at a time I really needed it.

Smith Family Law provided an excellent service. Showing care and compassion and obtaining the best possible outcome. Jane Holford in particular was exceptional. I would highly recommend if you are in need of any family law matter.

I had an exceptional experience with Ben Smith. From the very start, he demonstrated deep knowledge of family law, offering clear and personalized advice. His professionalism, coupled with genuine compassion, made a tough situation easier. Always accessible and supportive, he kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a skilled and caring family lawyer.
