The divorce journey is not one I ever planned to be on and I was totally unprepared for the emotional and daunting legal path that lay ahead of me. Madison and other staff from Coleman Greig were lifesavers for me. She approached each new legal consideration with a warm and compassionate attitude whilst still keeping me focused on the task at hand. No question was ever too silly to ask, and she was readily available on email or phone when I needed her guidance. I felt she treated me as a person and not just a client. The legal world can be scary for those of us who don't know it well, but Madison was always mindful of this and guided me through each step of the way. I am very grateful to her and the team at Coleman Greig.

I was referred to Madison by a long-term friend of mine who had been represented by Madison during his own divorce. Getting divorced was the most stressful period in my life, having to deal with finances, child custody and not knowing what outcome to expect but Madison’s advice was precise and reassuring. Her experience in family law is extensive, being an accountant myself, I was also very impressed with her understanding of my financial information and business/investment structures. In the end, Madison secured a great outcome for me, and I would have no hesitation referring Madison and Coleman Greig Lawyers to my family, friends and clients if they require her services.
