Top tier lawyers!!

CWJ have been excellent from start to finish, a pleasure to have worked with. Every member of the team I dealt with from reception to partner were all extremely helpful, polite, and professional. They deserve recognition for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and responsive law firm; highly recommend.

Claire Schneck

Was going through an extremely tough divorce, and decided to change lawyers as I didn’t feel supported. After an immense amount of homework Claire’s name came up. Best decision! Not only was Claire proactive, she was a constant support in the most stressful of times. Her contacts within the legal world were top-class. I have no question in putting Claire’s name forward for a five star review as the kindness and professionalism was second to none. Thank you.

I found Claire to be very clear, concise and efficient in dealing with my divorce case. Her knowledge and sensible approach gave me confidence that responses to the other party were fair and just.

Divorce- Claire Schneck & Sandy Hills

I wanted to say a big Thankyou to Claire Schneck & Sandy Hills who have helped me through my divorce. They have given advice, & support throughout & whenever I needed clarification they responded straight away which was very reassuring at such a difficult time. They have helped me to get to a new place in my life for which I am very grateful.

Most important Sandy Hills is not mentioned yet he was my main contact throughout. With the advice from both Sandy and knowing Claire was in the background made me feel very comfortable and exceeding pleased with all communications and of course the outcome.

I would thoroughly recommend Claire Schneck - she manages the right balance of professionalism and empathy. And Sandy Hills was great at responding quickly and not making me feel any question was a stupid one.

Claire was excellent in every way from start, at our fist meeting she remarked that the regrettable dispute with my ex partner had ‘been going on rather two long’, through obtaining a court order (via TLATA proceedings. She was very clear and sympathetic and dealt with every aspect of the case (including a time when my ex was representing herself and getting quite wayward) in a very prompt, efficient and highly professional way. I couldn’t be happier with Claire’s work, her approach and the results (a court order and swift sale of the property) and her professionalism,
