Expert Family Law Services with a Personal Touch

Family Law Chambers is a specialist law firm based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, comprising of 13 members who conduct expert practices focusing on the Family Law Jurisdiction and associated proceedings. Our members are widely recognised as leaders in Family Law at the New South Wales Bar, providing premium services in a specialist jurisdiction. Established in February 2004, our chambers have been committed to offering a superior service in Family Law, with a broad range of experience and expertise covering all aspects of family law disputes.

Our History

Family Law Chambers was founded by a group of barristers who practiced predominantly in Family Law and occupied new premises immediately next to the Family Court of Australia in Sydney. This was the first time in Australia that a group of barristers had departed from the traditional styling of the name of chambers to focus upon and present the specialist jurisdiction in which they each practiced. Our chambers were officially opened by the Honourable Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG on 6 May 2004.

Our Services

Our highly experienced and skilled barristers, arbitrators, and mediators provide expert advice and representation in a wide range of family law areas, including property settlement, parenting proceedings, child welfare, child support, international child abduction proceedings, and mediations. We also offer services in other areas such as appeals, binding financial agreements, de-facto relationships, financial and property settlement, independent children's lawyers, international matters, legal aid, maintenance and child support, children and parenting proceedings, relocation, family provision, family law criminal law, professional negligence, medical negligence, commercial and banking, discrimination and equal opportunity, coronial inquests, royal commissions, bankruptcy and insolvency, and complex financial settlement.

Our Clerk

The clerk to our chambers is Branka Dosen, the principal point of contact for all solicitors wishing to brief counsel. Branka is highly experienced and knowledgeable in the area of Family Law and is always available to assist with any queries or requests.

Reviews
Positive: The reviews overwhelmingly praise the exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise of several barristers.
Negative: The negative comments highlight concerns about a barrister's lack of understanding and failure to deliver expected results, as well as the perceived unfairness and expense of the legal system.

Exceptional Barristers

The reviews highlight several exceptional barristers who have made a significant impact on their clients' lives. These barristers have demonstrated compassion, empathy, and expertise in handling complex cases. Giles Stapleton, for example, showed a remarkable level of humanity and drive, supporting his client and their son throughout a difficult parenting matter.

Professionalism and Integrity

Other barristers, such as Mr. Schonnel SC, have been praised for their professionalism and integrity. He handled a case with exceptional thoroughness and left no details unattended. His clients appreciate his service and highly recommend him. Mr. Michael Todd has also been recognized for his understanding and sympathy, putting himself in his clients' shoes and fighting for their best interests.

Concerns and Disappointment

Unfortunately, not all reviews have been positive. Melisa B. expresses her disappointment with Michael Todd, who accepted payment but failed to understand the brief, leading to devastating consequences. She does not recommend him and was unable to contact him when seeking a remedy.

Expensive and Unfair System

Stephanie Myers shares her experience with Richardson, describing the legal system as unfair and outcome-dependent on which lawyer and judge one can afford. While she appreciates the service provided, she finds it expensive.
