Last year my wife and I engaged Pearsons Family Lawyers to assist with a dispute involving a contractor who carried out very poor workmanship on our home. The matter involved extensive email exchanges and ongoing pressure from the contractor.

Leanne Abela from Pearsons provided clear, practical advice at every step, particularly on how to respond and how to properly counter the contractor’s claims. Her guidance and diligence gave us confidence to pursue the matter and ultimately resulted in us not paying for work that was sub standard.

We found her and her team knowledgeable, responsive, and very easy to deal with.

We highly recommended Pearsons Family Lawyers.
Response from the owner:Marc, thank you for your detailed review. We're pleased Leanne and the team could provide the clear guidance and responsiveness you needed to resolve the contractor dispute successfully. We appreciate your recommendation.

My experience with Pearsons Lawyers is a positive one. Staff are courteous, excellent customer service. The environment is inviting, friendly and welcoming. There were no delays through the whole process. I dealt with Ms Jessica Wong - a very compassionate, knowledgeable and competent professional person. She kept me up to date with all issues. I had full confidence in her and the staff. I have no hesitation in recommending Pearsons Lawyers. Moreover their charges/costs are reasonable and they delivered on time! Thank you Pearsons Lawyers.
Response from the owner:Elaine, thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re delighted that you felt supported by Jessica and the team throughout, and that the process was smooth and timely for you. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

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.
Response from the owner:Tyler, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad Brenda's compassionate and clear approach made such a difference during your separation. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

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.

My case had been dragging on for several years with no outcome. When I approached Pearson Lawyers they took the time to explain my options clearly and moved things forward quickly. I was genuinely impressed with how fast they reached a settlement and closed the matter within couple of months.

A big shout-out to Venus Pham and the team at Pearson Lawyers for handling everything so efficiently. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hidden FIeld

How do I end a de facto relationship?

To end a de facto relationship, you will need to separate from your partner and ensure you have let them know, either verbally or in writing. From there, you can address property issues and financial matters through mediation or court proceedings if necessary.

How are parenting arrangements organised?

Parenting arrangements are organised through mediation or court proceedings if an agreement cannot be reached amicably.

Expert family lawyers can assist in drafting consent orders or agreements that address children’s matters, such as custody and visitation schedules.

Our Point Cook family Lawyers will work with you to develop a plan that prioritises the wellbeing of your children and can also liaise with other professionals, such as financial advisors, if needed, to ensure a stable financial future after divorce or separation.

If disputes arise, our team helps navigate the legal process to achieve fair outcomes for all parties involved.

What do I need to do to finalise property matters?

To finalise property matters, such as property settlements or spousal maintenance, you must reach an agreement with your partner or seek a court order if necessary. This involves valuing assets, negotiating terms, and preparing legal documents.

Our Point Cook family lawyers can assist with divorce proceedings and ensure that all property issues are resolved according to the specific circumstances of your case.

Our team helps draft consent orders and supports you throughout the process to secure a fair and equitable property settlement on your behalf.

Is court necessary for family law matters?

Court is not always necessary for family law matters. Many issues, such as property settlements and parenting arrangements, can be resolved through mediation or negotiation. Cook Family Lawyers can assist in drafting agreements and consent orders to avoid court proceedings.

However, if disputes cannot be resolved, court may be required. Our expert family lawyers guide you through the process, representing your interests and seeking the best outcome while minimising the impact of court proceedings on you and your family.
