Objectively, the best course of action when you require the services of a family lawyer is to start where most modern research does: on the Internet. Look for reliable reviews and testimonials from verified former clients. Although you should always take negative online comments with a pinch of salt, if you discover dozens of them about a particular company, you can count them as a collective red flag. Alternatively, you can put your trust in a reputable, premium family solicitor from Coleman Greig and know that you will receive nothing short of the following:

  • Our undivided attention when spending time on your case
  • Clear, concise communication
  • Fair, transparent pricing with no hidden fees
  • Open, honest advice and counsel
  • Access to some of the finest legal minds in the country

Any family law lawyer will tell you that matters of this nature can be complex and require time and energy to get through successfully. Some of the steps you should anticipate include the following:

Gathering evidence and organising documentation

Robust and reliable evidence is crucial to any family law case, as with most legal issues. When seeking a court order or other ruling, it is critical to present the evidence and prove its accuracy.

Mediation

Many cases find resolution in the mediation process, where both parties are encouraged to meet with a trained mediator and see if they can resolve their differences without taking further action.

The team at Coleman Greig Lawyers is standing by to assist with your commercial and personal requirements across New South Wales, so please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments. Our experienced, trained representatives will guide you from there and together, we can work on the perfect resolution to your family law issues.
