Burbank & Brown Lawyers and Conveyancers (incorporating MDV Family Lawyers) - Nowra, New South Wales

Brent is a very professional and upfront solicitor. He did everything possible to make things right. I highly recommend him. Thanks again mate. Hopefully I never need you again but if I do you definitely will be the one I call. Very reasonably priced in comparison to some. Even the office staff when I walked in were so nice and polite. I can't fault this firm ?

We are so pleased with the service from the team at Burbank and Brown Lawyers. They have provided us with excellent advice and were so professional through our conveyancing and also drawing up our wills. Thank you Melissa and Anthony we would highly recommend using them.

Thank Tiff and Kurt

I recently had Melissa and her highly professional team assist me through my separation. From the initial consultation, I felt Melissa held my children's best interests as the priority throughout the entire case, then listened to what I ideally wanted for them. She gave me the exact reality of what was going to happen during this process, from costs and funding to the legal process and how deep and far I wanted to push within the system and an honest potential outcome in doing so. So from day 1 the information was open and honest regardless of my own bias in what I felt should be fair. For this alone I would highly recommend MDV for legal help.

During the case, I was well informed either by Melissa or Brent every step of the way. They would contact me and get my consent before acting on anything and advised me in a way that stayed true to what I wanted for my children but also had the children's best interests at hand. And with this i felt 100% supported by the team of MDV.

Melissa would often give me very professional legal advice and is extremely knowledgeable in this field, but she also had, what I feel most people forget in these highly stressful times, which is, being a genuinely good person/friend and would calm the room by having an engaged conversation about the kids and personal life just as you would with a mate. For me, this was very comforting during this stressful period of my life.

We went into mediation together and Melissa and Brent were there the entire time keeping things calm and professional when I needed help getting my point or concerns across. In the end, what I wanted for the children and myself was achieved with slight variations in which was better suited for the children and their future with separated parents.

MDV also helped with the separation of both my properties. Once discussions were agreed with the financial and property split, Melissa's conveyancing team and herself coordinated with the bank and seamlessly arranged the transfers.

I 100% know i would not have been able to achieve this without the backing of Melissa and her team, and I am extremely grateful for having them help me out with everything. You have changed my life forever in the most positive way moving forward with my children.

Thank you.

Troy

It gives me great pleasure to review MDV Family Law and their team of highly professional staff. Our professional relationship extended over 2.5 years by closure of my settlement and in this time I came to know my team well and felt extremely secure and safe in their hands. Family law can become so negative and toxic and extremely stressful for the client, and my journey was no different. Having Melissa in my corner, closely supported by her entire team gave me the strength and stamina to see it through to closure, an achievement I didn't think I would manage at times due to the degree of stress divorce can generate. Melissa's professional, experienced approach, coupled with her astute knowledge of family law and just the right balance of care and concern left me feeling confident in the process and genuinely cared for. Melissa had my best interests and welfare at heart from the beginning. I am extremely grateful for the legal representation I received at MDV Family Law and have no hesitation in recommending this firm to those who find themselves lost and clueless in the face of divorce. Melissa D Vine, you're an angel in a business suit! xo

Throughout what was a very difficult time for me personally and my family, MDV Family Lawyers, (in particular Principal Solicitor, Ms Melissa Vine), showed consistent professionalism to support my children and I. More than that, Ms Vine showed us kindness and understanding. She was extremely knowledgable in negotiations and highly impressive in the court room space, making me feel professionally supported over the 8 months I was a client of this excellent firm. This resulted in a favourable resolution of our matter earlier than expected.

Ms Vine and all the staff at MDV Family Lawyers were wonderful to work with, efficient, motivated and courteous. It is very clear that the staff at MDV Family Lawyers are passionate about what they do and go about their roles with integrity and commitment.

Thank you Ms Vine, I will never forget your dedicated approach to my matter, your professionalism, the long hours, dependability and kindness. You were 100% genuine in your concern and care for my children and I, something which unexpected, but in which I am so grateful for.

We recently used Burbank and Brown Lawyers and Conveyancers for our conveyancing matter. We appreciate the effort from both Anthony and Melissa that went into our matter. They were both professional, reliable, diligent and guided us through a difficult property matter.

MDV was a part of my daughters and my journey through the family law court system. With Melissa acting for us, the outcomes achieved were in the best interest of my child.
The firm was professional, realistic and empathetic through out the four years of being a client with MDV.
I would highly recommend MDV to act for any parent who wants the best for there kids lives and future.

We recently finalised a long and protracted property settlement which had been caused by the wife's reluctance to cooperate and be reasonable. In fact it was almost 4 years but through Melissa's tenacity and "never give up" approach she finally got the wife to see commonsense and it was all settled on day one of the hearing. Melissa was professional the entire time and represented the husband with great respect and compassion. The husband had been through a terrible ordeal over this time and was left without much hope. However Melissa never gave up and achieved a fair and just outcome which means the husband can now move forward with his beautiful children and a life together. This was the result of hard work, knowledge, experience and a "can do" attitude. As a family we are all very thankful.
