There are really 3 simple rules in making the right choice to finding the best family lawyer in Sydney:

  • Check how long the lawyer has been an accredited specialist in family and divorce law. Five years? ten years? or 20 years? – The more experience the better.
  • Insist on a Law Society Accredited Family Law Specialist. A divorce lawyer who is an Accredited Specialist has gained formal recognition of legal excellence. This means that a combination of relevant experience and study makes accredited specialist divorce and family lawyers the best in their field. By choosing an Accredited Specialist to be your lawyer you can expect the highest quality legal services, efficiency, best possible legal advice and best chance of a positive outcome in your legal matter.
