The MacDonnells Law Family Law team has QLS Family Law Accredited Specialists in all our office locations - Brisbane, Townsville, and Cairns.
Our Family Law team has expertise in all areas of family law and they take pride in providing prompt and reliable legal services to all clients, helping to reduce the stress in these difficult times.
Given the very private, personal and financial nature of issues involving family law, choosing the right family lawyer for your needs is important. In family law, confidentiality and trust are vital. You are entitled to have your lawyer (solicitor) listen carefully to the issues as you see them, provide objective legal advice, and ensure your legal needs are met.
Our family law specialists understand the framework in which family law operates and they take the time to understand your individual case to achieve the most beneficial outcome.
We also offer legal services in every field complementary to family law, reducing the likelihood of delays, costs or hassles in the resolution of your family law matter by facilitating easy access to additional legal services such as:
- wills & powers of attorney
- property & property settlements
- commercial
- taxation
- business structures & trusts
We know that not all family law and relationship matters need to end up in Family Court. Our family lawyers have a strong focus on dispute resolution and can advise you on out-of-Court settlements, or when it is advisable to proceed to Court.
Whether you are considering divorce, marriage, living with someone, or separation, our team know the complexity of the law and are sensitive to your needs.
We look forward to working with you to provide a solution.
