Client Reviews & Testimonials

I dealt with Brenda Ling for my separation. She was respectful throughout the entire process, and found a very good balance between being compassionate, considerate and honest with my expectations. Brenda has a good ability to explain things at different levels of understanding through what is understandably a stressful and unfamiliar process. I received a recommendation for Brenda from a trustworthy friend, and would happily recommend her to others.
It was a pleasure to deal with Pearsons Lawyers, Glenroy.... I had the honour of having Joseph Schepis and Amanda Vella help me through my divorce proceedings and it made a difficult time in my life so much easier.
Both Joe, Amanda and all the staff in the office were very friendly, sympathetic and professional and I couldn't have got through it without all of there help and advice.

I highly recommend Pearsons Lawyers, Glenroy for all family matters needs.

Thanks again to the whole team.

Review for Pearson Family Law

I cannot speak highly enough of Pearson Family Law and the exceptional support I received from Andrew. From the very beginning, Andrew demonstrated not only deep legal expertise but also genuine compassion and understanding, which made a difficult situation feel far more manageable.

He guided me through every step of my legal matter with clarity, patience, and professionalism. Andrew was always available to answer my questions, explain my options, and ensure that I felt informed and empowered throughout the process. His attention to detail and calm, strategic approach gave me immense confidence in the outcome — and I’m deeply grateful for the result he helped achieve.

Pearson Family Law as a whole operates with integrity, care, and a client-first mindset. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated legal team, I wholeheartedly recommend them — and especially Andrew . He truly went above and beyond.
Response from the owner:Ruphael, thank you for your heartfelt words and detailed feedback. Andrew and the whole team appreciate your trust, and we’re honoured to have guided you with care through every step. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
