Umeir Mastoi
I had my recent divorce-related matter handled by the team at Unified Lawyers, including Daniel Abraham, Eliza Harley, and Alfi. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the team for managing my case so effectively and professionally. They were thorough, responsive, and supportive throughout what was a very challenging process. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a complex divorce matter.
Niegel Vaz
I cannot recommend Maneesha Zacharias from Unified Lawyers highly enough. From the very beginning, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care throughout my family law matter. Maneesha took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and confident in all decisions being made. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and strong advocacy truly set her apart. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I achieved a very positive outcome, and I’m incredibly grateful for her support during what was a stressful time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and committed, Maneesha is the person you want on your side.

Professional and well resourced organisation. Family lawyer Diana Melas dealt with my parenting case in an efficient and versatile manner to get the desired outcome quickly. Diana has a broad knowledge base of the law to put any of your concerns at ease and attacks her work load with some prowess.
Ashlin Weeks
Crispian and his team were extremely helpful and reassuring during a very stressful time in my life. Their guidance, knowledge, care, clear communication and hard work not only made the process easier and calmer by them ‘in my corner’ but I am very happy with the outcome reached. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the future
Ahmad Doar
I was represented by Leen Setrak who oversaw my family law matter and although it was a difficult time for me and my family, I was satisfied with the work and ultimately the result. I was always kept up to date, the advice was always realistic and fair, and the effort to resolve the dispute was unwaivering. Thank you Leen for everything, I can be a father to my kids again.
Lillian Nettlefold
I cannot recommend Jessica Adamovich highly enough. She gives you complete confidence going into trial, which makes an incredibly stressful process feel manageable and under control. Her professionalism, knowledge, and preparation truly stands out. Beyond her expertise, she is genuinely great to get along with. She communicates clearly, keeps you informed every step of the way, and makes everything feel like a seamless transaction. You always feel supported and understood. If you’re looking for a family lawyer who is both highly competent and easy to work with, Jessica Adamovich is an excellent choice. Thanks Jess, you have, and continue to be a pleasure to work with!

Are We The Right Family Lawyers For You?
We’re not the best fit for everyone or every situation, and that’s ok.
We're A Fit For You If...
Looking For One-On-One Attention
Limiting the number of clients we work with ensures that you always receive one-on-one attention and a personalised service that meets your unique separation journey.
Focused On Finding A Resolution
Actively look for ways to resolve your family law matter so that you can move on and live your best life.
Standing Up To The Bully, The Gaslighter And The Ostrich
Your ex is being a bully, making you feel a little crazy or simply burying their head in the sand over the separation. It’s okay – we’ve got you.
Support From Your Legal Team
You’re looking for your ‘wing-person’ and a team that ‘has your back’. We’re your team to support you to lean in to finding a resolution or asking the Court to make a decision on your behalf.
Technology Is An Expectation
You expect that we would be using technology to bring you an efficient service and that is exactly what we do by continuing to invest in technology.
We're Not A Fit For You If...
Vendetta For Your Ex
Wanting to hurt you ex as much as possible is a sure-fire way to halt negotiations and we’re not interested in supporting that.
Committed To Conflict
We call this ‘adopting the ‘noise cancelling’ positon’. No amount of negotiation, discussion or advice will change your mind about the position that you have adopted.
Prioritising Volume Over Quality
Lots of activity can move things along but we’re more interested in nailing helpful and actionable outcomes to get you to a resolution.
Not Wanting To Get Specialist Legal Advice
You’re more content taking advice from well-meaning friends and family and sitting down with a specialist family lawyer doesn’t interest you in the slightest.
Using The Children As A Way To Bargain For A Property Settlement
It’s never okay to intentionally involve children in a family law dispute unless you need to reach a resolution about their care arrangements. If you’re planning to use your children to bargain, we’re not the lawyers for you.
