I would advise absolutely anyone to choose Mary Chilinski — she is without doubt the very best advisor you could ever wish to have, especially when dealing with family courts. She is incredibly intelligent, and knows exactly how to build strong, clear paperwork and put everything in perfect order. When you are open and honest with her, she takes all the facts and shapes them into something solid, making sure everything is right and fair, and guides you firmly toward reaching your goals. Even when serious allegations were placed against me, she still gave me every opportunity to clear my name and prove the truth. She took great care to explain clearly exactly what I needed to do, and gave me wise guidance, advising me to follow every step that the professionals asked of me. She always checked in to make sure everything was being done properly. I trusted her advice completely, followed all her instructions, and because of her careful preparation, everything was set in place perfectly. She also arranged for me to be represented by one of the very finest barristers around, and together they helped me achieve custody and the right to care for my son. Mary Chilinski is kind, respectful, exceptionally smart, and knows exactly how to make things work even when they seem difficult. She gives you useful tips, constant guidance, and is always there to support you. She replies to emails and answers phone calls promptly, calls you whenever there is something important to share, and always keeps you fully updated on every development and outcome throughout the whole process. She pushes you gently in the right direction, helps you get everything organised, and truly makes the impossible become possible. I recommend anyone to use Family Law Group — they are one of the best in town, and especially to contact Mary Chilinski, because she is simply the very best.

Angela Phelan was absolutely amazing when she represented me at court today. She was so clear, thoughtful and convincing, and guided us to reach a wonderful agreement so I can have contact with my son. Even when matters seemed very difficult and it looked like a positive outcome might be impossible, Angela Phelan worked with such care and dedication, and she successfully achieved everything I had hoped for. She remained perfectly professional at all times, while always being so polite, gentle and kind. She took all the time I needed to explain everything clearly to me, making sure I always felt comfortable and fully understood what was happening. She truly turned what seemed impossible into reality. I would recommend everyone to use Family Law Group, because they are simply the very best.

I found myself having to appear in court with only two days to find a solicitor who could help. Jonathan represented me in court and the outcome was far better than what the opposing side had hoped for. Due to the opposing side prolonging the process I had to attend court again, but Jonathan gave me the tools and confidence to get through it resulting in a good outcome. Jonathan oversaw documentation which will give myself and my children security moving forward. Jonathan and Henna were always on hand to give advice and always approached my concerns and worries with an empathetic ear and sometimes a pep talk at my lowest points. When I was receiving unprofessional emails directly from the opposing solicitor or intimidating messages they offered advice on how to respond. Your attention to detail and clearly setting out what outcomes could be achieved meant I had the full picture to make decisions. I would also like to mention Jo and Sally who always answered the phone with a calming tone which would immediately give me the confidence that I wasn't alone in this and that I was in safe hands. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me, over the past couple of years, this stomach churning, anxiety provoking, stressful time was made easier knowing you were there to ensure this episode in my life would come to its conclusion. We are finally there, thank you and all the best.
Thank you so much for this moving review. We know how incredibly stressful and anxiety-provoking court proceedings can be, especially with only two days' notice. We are so proud of Jonathan for stepping in quickly to secure an excellent outcome and for giving you the tools and confidence to move forward. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and very bright future!
I cannot thank my solicitor enough for the incredible support, guidance, and reassurance she has provided throughout these very difficult court proceedings. From the beginning, she has been professional, compassionate, and incredibly understanding. She has taken the time to listen, explain everything clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I felt supported during what has been one of the most challenging periods of my life. Her knowledge, dedication, and commitment have been outstanding. She has gone above and beyond to ensure that I felt heard and represented, and I have always felt that she genuinely cared about me and my family. The emotional support she has provided alongside her legal expertise has meant so much. Having someone so calm, reassuring, and determined in my corner made an incredibly stressful process feel more manageable. I am truly grateful for everything she has done and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing support during such a difficult time. She is an exceptional solicitor and a credit to her profession.

Thank you for sharing such heartfelt and moving feedback, Fleur! Navigating difficult court proceedings is incredibly stressful, and we are so grateful to hear that your solicitor provided the compassion, reassurance, and exceptional legal support you and your family needed. Thank you so much for your wholehearted recommendation, and we wish you and your family a much more peaceful chapter ahead!
I worked with the Family Law Group for just over 3 years on a case for my mum. Jonathan Corbishley was professional and very knowledgeable throughout. Henna Aietan handled most of our contact and was exceptional. She was reassuring, knew every detail of the case, gave clear advice, and attended court with us which was a huge help during a difficult time. They are the ULTIMATE POWER TEAM. We achieved exactly the outcome we hoped for, and I strongly recommend them both.
Dear Qasim. Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Jonathan and Henna supported you so effectively throughout your case, and that you achieved the outcome you were hoping for. We really appreciate your recommendation.
Mary helped me in a urgent case that was very last minute, really thankful for all her help and support she was amazing x

From the start of the process through to the end, I received excellent support. Everything was dealt with in a timely manner, and any delays from the other party were actively followed up. Hayley was empathetic, professional, and rational when providing advice, making me feel supported and well informed throughout. I never felt discriminated against or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the service I received and would highly recommend it.

I had Jonathan helping my case. I highly recommend him as he is really a very good solicitor. Very patient, helpful, very smart, giving me the assurance that he will work in my best interest, which he really did. I am so grateful that he helped me succeed through the worst experiences of my life. I will always remember his kindness, the patience to answer to my questions/worries, and the ability to deal with all the stressful situation I went through. Thanks so much, Jonathan!

Would highly recommend Donato at family law. He has always been reliable any questions I’ve had he’s always answered them and broken them down so I can understand. My case hasn’t finished yet but I’d 100% recommend Thank you for been so patient with me.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Donato has been reliable, patient, and supportive, taking the time to explain everything clearly. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.
Recently I had a family court case where I had Donato Damiano representing me, I cant thank him enough as the outcome was everything I could have asked for. The professionalism and the reassurance was there from the very start. He handled the case perfectly and from this we got the outcome I thought was once impossible. Further from this Tony woods who represented me at the final hearing was amazing, both very lovely but professional people and I would highly recommend them!
