Family Law

We have a range of abilities in the family area to suit most needs. Sarah Mc Govern has excellent communication skills and a very warm heart for those who are suffering relationship problems and she is very skilled at providing good outcomes for those with children issues. She is also very quick and efficient in obtaining protection orders for those who are suffering from domestic violence.

Wayne Jones also has many years of experience in the Family Court, involved in parenting disputes and he has a caring but no nonsense approach.

Jessica Herd and Heather Mckinnon have less experience but both are available to help with family disputes, including protection orders. If a female lawyer is desired eg where there are sensitive issues to discuss for women clients then we have a good choice of female lawyers for you (the men aren’t too macho either)!

Steven Zindel has had experience in most areas of family law but, for reasons of allocation of roles within the firm, has tended to confine himself recently to the relationship property area. This is because he has those technical skills where property and money are involved and where knowledge of the interrelationship between relationship property, trust law, company law and equity is important for achieving the best outcome.

Heather Mckinnon has been helping in this area recently and Sarah Mc Govern works in the relationship property area in the more domestic settings eg where there are not commercial or trust issues.

All of us are equipped to deal with most aspects of family law but we have our preferences and specialisations and we try to work within those. This is also to suit our availability so that you have the best lawyer at the right time. All of us are available to help each other behind the scenes, so that you potentially stand to benefit from the collective experience of five lawyers.
