    A legal service delivered with empathy, expertise and excellence!

    Oscar Smith was initially referred by David Truex of Expatriate law. Oscar along with Antonia church have worked on my case since 2023. Oscar, is a remarkable lawyer who demonstrates vast knowledge in the niche field of international law, steadfastness in achieving goals and compassion towards his client and helped my son and I relocate back home to Australia. Oscar and Antonia, continue to work on my case, attend hearings on my behalf and have proved borders and timezone barriers can be overcome with efficient and timely communication. Overall, Expatriate law as a firm provide intelligent and clear advice to their clients enveloped in a humanistic approach. Thankyou Oscar, David, Antonia and Expatriate law for giving my son and I a fair chance at life and for all the wins in the past and in the future!

    Beatrice Ermolin assisted David Truex during my complex, two year financial settlement battle. She was extremely professional, thorough and went out of her way to keep me informed of all developments in the case. Beatrice reassured me at times when I needed it and I know she has a very successful career ahead of her. Thank you so much Beatrice.

    David has worked tirelessly for two years on my very complex and drawn out divorce and subsequent financial settlement battle. The successful outcome could never have been reached without David's vast knowledge of UK family law and his morale boosting support as I faltered. Thank you David for everything!

    Excellent and realistic advice

    Was provided with very sensible, comprehensive and very realistic legal advice from Mr David Truex of Expatriate Law regarding a Child Support Agency historical debt (20 years old!). My circumstances required legal knowledge in both UK and Australian jurisdictions and Mr Truex’s experience and knowledge covered all options for my situation. Highly recommended and very professional dealings.

    I have been a client of David Truex for over fifteen years - actually, the last time we engaged before our matter this last week was fifteen years ago!! On both occasions, I have appreciated David's quick grasp of my core issues/concerns and the clarity of his speedy advice. As an Australian seeking advice about UK law, I have always appreciate another feature of working with David: he has a sense of humor - something that we all need sometimes "in these situations".
