I had an excellent experience working with Marija Wood. She was professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to my case. From my first consultation, she took her time to explain everything clearly, keeping me informed at every step of the process. Her attention to detail and strategic approach has helped resolve my issue efficiently and with a favourable outcome. I highly recommend Marija Wood to anyone looking for a knowledgeable solicitor. She is very organised.

Hayden Perer is an exceptional solicitor. Hayden was my solicitor for about three years and assisted us all the way to Trial which is now at closure- with a favourable outcome for my child and I. Always child focused and down to earth unlike many legal professionals who see us all as dollar signs. Quite the opposite with Hayden and I would absolutely recommend him for your complex family law matters. Thanks Hayden!

I had an incredibly positive experience through out the time Perth Family Lawyers were representing me. They were fantastic at getting back to me, keeping me informed, acknowledging my correspondence. The whole process was made so much easier thanks to the help of the Perth Family Lawyers and if I'm ever in need of their services again, I would definitely go back to them.

Peter banks represented myself and previously represented my partner for his custody matter and was fantastic, as soon as I needed representation, he was the first person I called up to see if he would be able to. He is very dedicated to his clients and always feels like he has a personal interest in your matter. He will cut to the chase with you, will try to minimize your costs as much as possible and make you feel like you have a friend in the court when you need one.

Milica Pudney

Melissa is very knowledgeable but also compassionate, approaching to each client with care and professionalsam. She leads the rest of the team of highly dedicated lawyers who always offer a quality advice and make sure you feel heard. They are professional but also friendly! I highly recommend!

Rory Burrows

Perth family lawyers are a brilliant law firm full of experienced solicitors that know all there is to know about Family law. They were able to help a close friend get back part custody rights very recently and we cant thank them enough. Thanks team!

Nicola Bowen and the team at PFL are second to none. Their outstanding professionalism and attention to detail is fantastic. They really showed that they genuinely cared about my situation and were very understanding and compassionate. I can't recommend or thank them enough for their efforts. They were truly an amazing team

Julie Savill

Nicola Bowen represented me over the last 2 years and was incredibly helpful. She did her best to keep costs low and has the utmost integrity. She guided me through every step of the process and assisted in negotiating a very favourable outcome for my settlement. She is straight talking but personable and I highly recommend her.

Peter Banks of Perth Family lawyers has been representing me. He is amazing and I would highly recommend his services to anyone. He is unusual as for a lawyer, he is very down to earth, and has redefined to me what a lawyer can be...almost a real human being ?

He is very supportive, understanding and tolerant of the frustrations as an individual going through Family Law (especially being a male) and all the "glory" that it brings for everyone.

He has kept me on track, focusing on minimising costs as best as possible, moving on with life even when I felt I may start to stray and been a good ear to run through all elements with, not just legal at times. Basically, he treats me as a person not cashflow...

As to the PFL team, they have all been great as well. I went with them initially as I liked the fact that they are not a company trying to just extend events to get that next paid for email out of you, or keep you in courts to buffer their bottom line. I actually believe that they care about your individual circumstances and to help you through this as best as possible, minimising your costs.

This is especially relevant if you are a male, they are also fully aware of how the Family Law system is stacked against you regardless of how honest a person you may be. Whilst a lot cannot be changed by them due to being the way Family Law is (however I know they want it changed and do pursue this), I have felt that their understanding of the male in the process of Family Law, knowing the "tricks" that other lawyers may look to and working to avoid or circumnavigate them makes the process far more tolerable.

I cannot highly recommend them enough, especially Peter Banks (who honestly I think would also fit perfectly playing bass guitar in any band ?)
