The only family solicitor you need!

From the start, George and his legal assistant Maria were outstanding. He gave me reassurance throughout. We laughed together, analysed together, he was not only by my side, but genuinely believed in mine and my children’s case. There isn’t another solicitor I’d ever consider, or use. George was Professional, knowledgeable, confident. Maria was sympathetic, empathetic and kind. These two kept me sane through a tough time.

Great service

I felt that the solicitor made a very thorough assessment of my tricky situation and went above and beyond what I expected to give me some good, carefully considered advice. On top of that he seemed like a really nice guy.

It's over.... thanks to Jenny

I just wanted to say how grateful I am to Jenny for her support and valued advice, during a very prolonged and difficult time. Her professionalism and knowledge kept me going when I was ready to give up. Which I will be forever thankful.

Jenny Warriner is a star

Jenny was recommended by a friend and this was the best recommendation I could have possibly obtained to help with my complex matter. Jenny is a deeply knowledgeable, efficient, prompt and profound lawyer whose support in my children's and financial cases cannot be praised enough. She quickly grasped the nuances of the matter, provided highly valuable advice and overall helped to succeed in the court hearings, saving me peace of mind and finances. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jenny to anyone seeking advice / representation in children's and matrimonial finances matters, I only wish I had met Jenny earlier.

Cannot fault the advice

This is the second time I have had to use Family First, having successfully obtained a court order giving me access to my daughter. A few years in and the relationship had broken down further, contact was getting less and more difficult, and eventually it stopped all together.

I went back to Family First and the advice I have been given was exactly what I needed, not what I thought I wanted. This is important because the system needs to be navigated carefully and FF are experts at this. So much so, that I now have a new order in place, more contact time, and more caveats that benefit me and my daughter.

Although the cost can be daunting, I was given fair warning about impending bills, and even had payment plans in place to help with the burden.

All in all, I am very happy with the service (and of course, the outcome) and would happily recommend the team to anyone looking for expert advice and guidance during what can only be described as the most difficult period of my life.

Thank you Bruna (plus counsel) for all your hard work and dedication to the cause. I couldn't have done it without you.

Unfortunately, I have received a very unsatisfactory service with this law firm. Crucial documents and personal statements were filed late. Statements were extremely poorly written with numerous grammatical errors, which I had to painstakingly correct. No useful legal advice was given throughout. The solicitor was very passive and just happy to send me her bill for poor service. Retrospectively, I should have considered paying a bit more but for better quality service.

I received advice from Jenny Warriner on a family related litigation and had the best experience ever (in particular compared to a few solicitors from other practices over the last year). Jenny's professionalism, communication and advice have been unparalleled. She has been highly efficient and straight to the point during the consultations, absolute pleasure to work with and if it wasn't her, I doubt I would have achieved a positive hearing outcome that I had at the final hearing.
