Family Law Matters - Cronulla, New South Wales

Leigh Moorhead

Stating the obvious that no one wants to use Family Law, however sometimes it is necessary and if you do then it is wise to research and find a specialised law firm. Veronica at FLM was amazing to work with, highly organised, meticulous in her detail. The entire journey I felt that I was in good hands, the trust I had with Veronica to use her guidance and expertise was warranted. Although I was one of the unfortunate ones that does end up in a Family Law Court room, all of that preparation over the preceding two years I could see play out in that room. I could see all of the judgment calls that Veronica had guided me towards work effectively. I would recommend FLM and Veronica to anyone in need of a specialised Family Law Firm/Lawyer.

Could not recommend Cortnie and the team from FLM highly enough.
For someone who had no idea on how the family law system worked, and after hearing horror stories about solicitors only being there for your money, it was a very anxious time attempting to select a solicitor to help me with my situation.
From the moment of making initial contact, I felt at ease and comfortable making the decision to work with the company, and in particular Cortnie.
It was a long and lengthy process getting to settlement date, but I was informed and things were clearly explained every step of the way. Although it was a costly exercise overall, there was not once I felt like I was being taken for a ride, or taken advantage of. I felt so supported, and ended up learning so much about the overall process. No question was ever a dumb one, and Cortnie was so approachable and always kept me informed.
I can’t recommend her highly enough, and although I hope I never have to, I wouldn’t hesitate to use her and the team again!

Veronica has a level of warmth, empathy and heart that I did not expect to find in a lawyer. She is approachable, versatile, highly knowledgeable and quick to reassure or respond.
In action she is deliberate and articulate, so much so that her counterparts appear aloof. Veronica and the team have been considerate of my single parent income from day one and have made adjustments wherever possible.
I cannot fault one person at FLM, they have always been supportive and do not hesitate to impart their knowledge or give helpful advice. I sought out Family Law Matters for their wholesome values, rather than finding a local firm, and I'm so grateful that I did.

Family Law Matters have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of my financial settlement. When you first reach out to the team at Family Law Matters, you will be greeted by Steve, who immediately makes you feel at ease. Steve gets the ball rolling and gives you the pep talk you absolutely need when you initiate this process. I had the privilege of having Melody appointed to my case and she was absolutely flawless in her approach to my specific circumstances and her manner towards me as her client. At no point did I lack confidence in her. She took the time to explain the process and the reasons why she was making a recommendation. She did this in such a way that at all times I felt like I completely understood what was happening and why. This made me feel reassured that every effort was being made to achieve the best possible outcome. She was very understanding and empathetic towards me regarding the emotional impacts that this whole process had on me. Melody handled a complicated and difficult financial settlement with impeccable professionalism.

Anthony McKay

Throughout the toughest period of my life, Antonella and the team at Family Law Matters have been nothing short of incredible, in particular Veronica Phillips.
I worked closely with Veronica over a three and a half year period to eventually finalise my protracted and nasty family law proceedings for both property and parenting.
Veronica is an extremely compassionate, loyal, honest and knowledgeable legal professional who has proven that you don't have to play dirty to get a great outcome. My kids and I couldn't be anymore happier with the final result.
As a devoted father, I will be forever grateful for everything that Veronica and the entire team at Family Law Matters have done for me and my family.

I do not want to deal with legal issues but I have to in order to solve my property settlement issues after divorce. Although there are many family lawyers advertised on the website, it is actually hard for me to find one. Sometimes it became suffer for me to repeat things again and again, but things have been changed since I met with Brendan and Steve in Family Law Matters, from the first talk with Steve over the phone, I felt I am in a helping hand and he understood my situation, until later I met with Brendan in their office, he instantly understood me and advise me the way to achieve, I became much confident and relaxed in working with him to solve my problems. Especially later when we work together, for every issue either via email or via phone, his suggestions or answers are always to the point, he really thinks from customers’ point of view, that is why he can understand me. Their business is excellent , it is just like their business name ‘Family Law Matters”. I highly recommended.

Donna Boyle

I was really happy with Family Law Matters from my initial phone call they put me at ease about my journey ahead and recommended Melody van der Wallen to deal with my matter.
I was really happy with everything Melody supported me with throughout the whole process. Melody was extremely efficient and thorough. I felt very well supported, nothing was a problem and was happy with the outcome.
Highly recommend Family Law Matters and Melody will definitely look after you.

Matt Riedy

Whilst the circumstances that led me to requiring FLM were not ideal, I am incredibly glad FLM were on my team.

My matter has been handled with care, respect, confidentiality and I have never felt like I was asking too little or too much.

Jenna is not only a fantastic solicitor, but a fantastic person and manages to make a very difficult process as easy as she possibly can. She is cost-conscious, adept, and goes above and beyond in every aspect.

I have also been fortunate enough to also have some interactions with the Principal, Antonella, and Cortnie, another solicitor. It is clear that the culture is instilled from the top and it shines through all of the staff members at the firm.

I hope I don't need FLM again, but I know exactly who to call if I do. I will be eternally grateful for the way that I was treated and for the work they have done in addressing the dissolution process.
