A Truly Exceptional Experience

Working with Matthew Dobkin of Sugare n Co has been an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, Matthew brings a rare blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for his craft. His attention to detail is evident in every interaction—he listens carefully, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond to ensure everything is exactly right. Sugare n Co reflects Matthew’s dedication and creativity. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but what really sets him apart is the care he puts into each project and the pride he takes in delivering something special. It’s refreshing to encounter someone who not only does outstanding work but also makes the entire experience enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew and Sugare n Co to anyone looking for exceptional service and a team that truly values its customers. An easy 5 stars.

I’ve been working closely with Matthew Dobkin at Sugare for over 2.5 years. He very quickly developed an understanding of my case and was able to cut through the noise and focus on what really matters. He also dissected and summarised some complex historical family financial matters that I couldn’t fully grasp, and presented them to the court effectively. He guided me through childcare arrangements with a very difficult and combative ex-partner, which resulted in an excellent outcome, with the magistrates ruling everything in my favour. We took a fair and reasonable approach throughout, and Matthew ensured that I was presented in the best possible way. Spending time with Matthew during these stressful proceedings was also a positive experience due to his calm, personal, and even light-hearted approach to everything outside of the legal work. I’m very happy to recommend him and Sugare to anyone going through a separation.

Matthew D just finished dealing with my divorce and he nailed the outcome for me. He was polite, courteous and thoughtful throughout, thoroughly hard-working and genuinely cared about me and getting me the best. His strategy for the case was excellent; he fought hard for me and was a tough negotiator with the other side. There were some testy issues relating to tax, trusts and a business and his advice proved to be accurate. I couldn't have asked for more from him. Have a great summer Mathew, Cheers.

My personal thanks to Matthew Dobkin, for steering through one of the hardest times of my life. I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew for anyone going through a divorce involving complex financial and health matters. Matthew has such clarity of voice and his guidance was clear, strategic, and always grounded in my best interests. I trusted him completely throughout the process, and he delivered a fair, well-negotiated financial agreement that gives me peace of mind (even in death LOL!) Always professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive — I couldn't have asked for better representation, or a more experienced and trusted guide through this past year. I am most grateful. Thank you!

Matthew and the whole family team gave me wonderful service. Matt dealt with my divorce and children case. He enabled me to have my children for an equal amount of time and got me the share that I wanted of my business and properties. He was professional throughout, made himself available to speak with me out-of-hours, made me feel reassured and was strong in court. My thanks to him and the team for giving me my life back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend
