Absolute angels

GT Stewart from start to finish have been kind, caring, personable and quite honestly angels. The team Max, Kristen and Alison are incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and professional but also empathetic and genuinely care about you as a person. They hire the most incredibly barristers. I had two during my case and both incredible. I can’t recommend them enough. Going through the hardest 14 months of my life - these people truly deserve the highest level of appreciation. My advice: do not hesitate to reach out to GT Stewart. Thank you doesn’t even scrape the surface.

Family Law with Max

Max was clear, kind, helpful, straightforward and clearly knew his stuff and he updated us throughout the duration and it felt like he took on board concerns and suggestions and that was helpful. It was a very upsetting time and his kind calm understanding manner really helped. I would recommend him and his team wholeheartedly. He gave us confidence at a very bleak time. Thank you.

Excellent legal advice delivered with professionalism and sensitivity

I approached Max Konarek on recommendation to advise on a longstanding matter which unfortunately necessitated family court hearings to agree contact arrangements. From our initial consultation meeting, Mr Konarek exercised impeccable legal judgement, providing timely and measured legal advice. Given a number of sensitivities, Max was superb throughout proceedings, advising with clarity, keeping me fully abreast of developments, all the while remaining accessible, responsive and managing somewhat tenacious counsel for the other side - this across a number of hearings spanning almost two years. I cannot recommend Max highly enough in matters pertaining to family law & child protection, and would not hesitate to call him again should I, or any of my close contacts require representation, particularly across complex cases.
