Client Testimonials and Reviews

  • Sarah Taylor

    During 2021 I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Antoinette Marie Gauci from Unified Family Lawyers.

    After meeting and consulting with more than one firm I choose to work with Antoinette as I navigated my separation and property settlement. From the initial appointment to final settlement I found Antoinette to be informative, supportive and fair in the advise she offered . I always felt as though my best interests were being highlighted and all of my communications were answered promptly.

    Apart from offering exceptional service I also felt that UFA was very reasonably priced.

    I would highly recommend working with Unified Family Lawyers.

    Alex and Donna are unparalleled professionals and experts in their fields. If you are going through a difficult divorce, it can be really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Alex and Donna have helped make this emotionally stressful time as easy as I think it can be with their down to earth and diligent communication. They take a lot of pride in their work and they are extremely talented and experienced. I genuinely feel like I am in very capable and caring hands. I can’t be any more grateful to them and the whole Unified Family Lawyers team. If you want someone on your side, you need to speak to Alex and Donna!

  • Kristenn Wong

    Navigating separation and divorce can typically be an emotionally, mentally and financially onerous undertaking.

    However, engaging Unified Lawyers and entrusting my matter to the highly capable and consistently responsive team of Alex Bourne and Chris Kissoglou has certainly alleviated my stress, knowing that they were acting in my best interests with their sensible and pragmatic advice. With their skilled assistance, I was able to finalise my parenting plan and property settlement via mediation with a pleasing outcome that obviated the protracted costs of litigation.

  • Shreya

    Highly recommend Unified Lawyers and a special mention to the lawyer who assisted me with my case – Donna Nguyen. She was thoroughly professional since the day I contacted her, always on top of asking for information, filing the case on time and ensuring communication was top notch every step of the way. Most importantly very upfront around fees structure and was very informative around any hidden fees throughout the process. If every lawyer was like her, there wouldn’t ever be a single person left in doubt around laws and court procedures. She’s an absolute rockstar!

  • Geetha De Silva

    When looking for a family lawyer, a firm in the city asked for a large sum upfront to start with. With unified lawyers, upfront fee was reasonable and affordable for someone going through a difficult period in their life. I was invoiced monthly as I went, which was helpful. Taylor Reardon was my lawyer and she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. She did a great job guiding me through the process and supporting me through the asset split after separation. I highly recommend unified lawyers for family law matters.

    I am so glad finally it came to an end!!. Thank you so much Taylor! you have advised me accordingly as to where I stand in my situation, and resolved my problem amicably. I was advised by many to how solicitors over charging their clients, unfortunately, it was not with Unified Family Lawyers. They are so reasonable in terms of charges and understand their clients well. I did the right choice by engaging the right firm.

  • muntashir mamun

    I recommend Unified Lawyers for any Family or Domestic violence or issues; I have received excellent consultation when I called them first time in regards to an issue related to my neighbour. They first listen to issue and explained what would be potential ways to deal with the issue from lawful perspective and also send an follow up email to confirmed what was discussed. I was very worried with the particular issue but after talking to them I sensed hope and clear understanding what to do next. I give them a five star.

Property Settlements, Asset Division and Financial Issues

Splitting property, assets and money is an unfortunate reality that comes at the end of a marriage or de facto relationship. It also a challenging and complex process, so it is critical that you work with a professional family lawyer who can help you understand your rights and your responsibilities.

Our property settlement lawyers can help you by offering expert advice, strategies, and options for your unique situation – because the end of every relationship is unique. Some of the crucial financial and property related family law disputes we can help with include:

De Facto Relationships and Property Rights

If you’ve split from your de facto partner, its important you understand the factors that can influence your rights to property and financial aspects. The length of your relationship, and if you have children together are only two of the factors that can affect your property rights.

Spousal Maintenance

It’s common for spousal support to be a part of a separation or divorce. Factors like the future earning capabilities and differences in income can impact whether a party will be obligated to pay spousal maintenance. You need to ensure you understand your responsibilities and entitlements in any family law financial matter.

Property Settlement Mediations

Figuring out how to divide your property and assets doesn’t have to be a drawn-out affair in court. Through property settlement mediation, we can help you and your former partner to work out how to divide your property and avoid going to court. Before any mediation takes place, we can help you understand your entitlements based on your unique situation and do our best to achieve the best outcome for you. Even the most complex property matters can be resolved.

Parenting and Children Matters

When children are involved in separation or divorce, it can be a daunting and overwhelming experience for both you and your child/children. It’s our aim to ensure the best interests of your child are looked after, and we will work with you to ensure you understand what these are and the options available to you. Our advice in any parenting matter will also be with the aim to ensure your children’s needs are the priority. There are a variety of different family law issues that can
involve children, including:

Consent Orders and Financial Agreements

When an agreement can be reached regarding how your child or children should divide their time between their parents, then a consent order can make this legally enforceable. To ensure your child’s best interests are being looked after, we can provide you with advice.

Child Support

If you believe a child support payment assessment has been unfairly made, then you can discuss this and your options with our family lawyers. Child support payments are assessed by the Child Support Agency and are not always accurate.

Grandparent’s Rights

Whether you’re a grandparent who is looking to understand your rights to see your grandchild or you’re a parent wanting to understand your obligations, our experienced family law team can help you with grand parenting matters.
