We don’t take our professional responsibility lightly. Always aiming to be one of the first to share the latest Family Law news with you.
Outside practice hours, we are also passionate legal advocates and supporters of events that promote social justice in all its diversity. We have had the pleasure of hosting a Jeff Kennett seminar on mental health and raising funds for Beyond Blue. We regularly raise funds for “Fitted for Work” who get women back into the workforce and for the homeless here and overseas. Our charitable and philanthropic endeavours continue and we are committed to giving back to the community locally by volunteering at community legal services.
