1. Initial Consultation

Our initial consultation offers the guidance you need to make informed decisions. Whether it's answering questions or planning, we provide a flat fee for an initial appointment.

2. Advice

It's vital to have experienced family lawyers to guide you through your legal issues. Without specialised advice, your rights could be at risk. We provide the very best legal advice tailored to your particular circumstances.

3. Agreement Drafting & Independent Legal Advice

Many clients come to us with an agreement already reached with their partner, wanting to formalise that agreement to make it legally binding. We can give you many options available to document your agreement including practical and cost effective documents.  We strive to give clients certainty with respect to their fees and we offer a matrix of fee options to suit each circumstance.

4. Representation

From negotiations with your former partner/spouse or their lawyer up to and including going to Court.  We recognise that some clients may need or want advice at certain stages of their matter or they may want to significantly reduce overall legal fees. We can work with you to determine the level of our assistance and guidance.
TESTIMONIALS

Hear from our clients on how we provide sophisticated, professional and compassionate representation

"Lucy and the team were amazing with my case and with me - so professional and empathetic"

 I felt so comfortable and supported while going through something so ugly and stressful. Lucy took the stress out of everything and was so well informed. She knows her stuff and really fought for me and my children. I would recommend her a thousand times over. After seeing a few different solicitors previously, i can safely say, they are NOT all built the same. Lucy and her team are next level, just like family. And at a time when you need it most, it is so comforting to have someone as passionate and knowledgeable about the workings of the law in your court!!And yes, we got the outcome we were looking for!! So grateful for this wonderful team. Thank you!!

“Anna and the team at Neilan
Stramandinoli are exceptional"

Whatever your family law situation, Anna makes the process so much easier through sound and realistic advice and a compassionate and listening support style that makes you feel heard and understood, with strong advocacy for you at every step. You always know where you stand with Anna and I cannot thank her and the team enough for helping me successfully navigate a complex situation to the best possible outcome. Highly recommended without hesitation.

"These lawyers
are incredible"

They are lovely women that really care about the people they represent. They do not overcharge and they achieve the best outcome for their clients, i know i am one of them. Thanks Anna, Bridget and Lucy as well as Eloise you are all wonderful.
