Testimonials
James
I really appreciated the empathetic, personalised and expedient service provided by Kristian. He took time to understand my situation and worked with me as an equal rather than telling me what must happen. I received very timely responses to all emails and phone enquiries and he was able to maintain a high level of professionalism in the face of challenging, procrastinating and unprofessional conduct from the other party. Evelyn
Vanessa and her team have made such a stressful period in my life pass so smoothly. They have been consistently professional, efficient, compassionate and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to recommend them. Jocelyn
I’d like to say that Vanessa Mathews conducted my difficult parenting dispute in a very professional and caring manner and helped to achieve such a positive outcome for me and the children.
I’ve been recommending Vanessa to friends and clients. I’m pleased to say that all is going very well now and I couldn’t have done it without your professional services. Erin
I’m happy to provide a testimonial about my time with Vanessa. Vanessa conducted my matter in a very professional and caring manner with a positive outcome for me and the children. I’ve been recommending her to friends and clients. All is going very well for me now but I couldn’t have done it without Vanessa’s professional services. Linda
From the first day I met Byron Bay Family Law, their calming and reassuring manner left me in no doubt, I had found the right firm to deal with the complicated legal situation I was dealing with. Their dedication, communication and sound legal advice, made enduring a difficult situation, so much easier. Lydia
Negotiating a divorce is obviously a hard, emotionally traumatic, and stressful time. Yet Byron Bay Family Law brought a sense of calm and optimism, assuring yet gentle and always put my best interests foremost to get me the best outcome possible. Awards
