Our story
A different kind of family law firm
We met when we were employed as duty lawyers at the Family Court and noticed more and more people unable to afford full legal representation. Everyone should have the same access to justice as those with Legal Aid lawyers or privately funded lawyers. We came up with the idea to create a service that offered only what was most essential to a client's success - quality advice and documents, at a set price up front, so people know where they stand financially.
