I can not recommend Cantwell Family Lawyers enough, they are a professional, highly knowledgeable, experienced and honest firm.
Cantwell Family Lawyers really do have the family's best interest at heart. Melissa and Sylvia maintained constant contact with me and explained legal terminology in an understandable way which made me feel informed and at ease. After having been through such a tumultuous and stressful situation, their reassurance, empathy and compassion was truly a breath of fresh air.
I am very blessed and very grateful to have had Sylvia represent me. Sylvia went above and beyond, she was genuinely invested in my matter and the welfare of my family. Sylvia's confidence, tenaciousness and persistence, mixed with her intelligence and her well spoken nature lead to the best outcome for my family's future.
I truly can not put into words just how amazing Sylvia is, her positive attitude, her righteous moral compass and her integrity shone through her work.
I will forever be grateful for Sylvia, Melissa and the Team at Cantwell Family Lawyers.

It was the best having Cantwell there along the way and of course the support has been upmost remarkable. I cannot thank them enough how much continued support I received. So very grateful for having them then and there.

Melissa and her term should be ashamed of themselves. They actively engage in their clients absurd agenda and end up wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dont engage Cantwell (even as an applicant), you wont get the advice you need and you will waste alot of money chasing a fever dream. Just defended a case facilitated by Melissa where our side spent $200k in fees for a $0 settlement! Melissa makes her living by abusing the powers of the court.

Melissa and her team at Cantwell Family Lawyers did an absolutely excellent job in guiding me through family law matters towards a very satisfying result. Melissa's deep knowledge and experience, as well as her ability to brilliantly articulate matters via written letters or verbally, were central in achieving a very satisfying outcome. I highly recommend Melissa and her team for anyone wanting an experienced and talented Lawyer who will fight for what is right and just. Having Melissa and her team on my side proved very valuable to me, both from a mental and emotional perspective, as well as a financial outcome result. Thank you so much Melissa and the wider CFL Team, I am very appreciative for your excellent services.

A big thank you to Melissa, Lesley and the Team.
They were so understanding and helped me with every question and query I had.

Would give more stars if I could!

Thank you again so much.

Couldn’t be more grateful for being referred to Cantwell family lawyers. It was the biggest blessing on my families life. The firm was super efficient, knowledgeable of the law; and made sure I had the best representation for my hearings. This is a very honest, experienced firm, who really do have a heart for families and the stress that court and legal matters put on you; and most of all they really care for the children that are involved in it all; whether that be protecting them, or putting their needs above everything else. Thank you Mary, Melissa, and Leslie, you will always have such a special place in my families heart.

I highly recommend Cantwell Lawyers for any family law related matters. Their support helping me to gain majority care of my daughter (fathers can have majority care too), has honestly saved my daughter from very difficult circumstances. The empathy, compassion and genuine concern for your situation by Melissa, Lesley and Bryn, I can’t speak highly enough. They have truly changed my daughter life for the better, and given her a chance for a much brighter future. I feel that the support and advice given well exceeded my expectations. I do wish to thank them all for their support.
