I would like to say a huge thank you to Judy Stewart for all her help, expertise and kindness to me and my family, during a very stressful time. Much appreciated. Happily recommend her.Posted on David BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am compelled to leave a 5 star review for Stewart Family Law and the amazing Lawyer who guided me through a very difficult and challenging property settlement and achieved the best possible and realistic outcome for me. Her name is Lauren Holm and I cannot recommend this amazing Lawyer and Lady enough. Lauren was so straightforward and honest and from the very first conversation it was evident that Lauren’s knowledge of Australian Family Law was at an incredibly high level. I knew I was in great hands immediately. I changed Law Firms mid settlement and was so pleasantly surprised with respect to the new level of representation I was receiving. Miss ensured that I was fully aware of all possibilities and outcomes and provided me with genuine guidance that was in my best interest. Miss was also able to bring the matter to a timely conclusion. I am incredibly grateful to Lauren and Stewart Family Law. If you are in the daunting process of choosing a lawyer then please take it from someone who has experience and choose these guys. You won’t regret it. Dave 😊Posted on DASARI ANURADHATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very positive experience working with Temika. She was patient and took the time to listen to my circumstances in detail, rather than giving a one-size-fits-all approach. She genuinely cares about helping her clients and always looks for the best possible outcome, doing everything practical to achieve results. Temika was consistently ahead of deadlines, which gave me peace of mind knowing court dates and important matters would never be missed. She is well-prepared, highly organized, and very reliable. Even on days when she was in court and couldn’t offer an appointment right away, she still made sure to reply as soon as she could — at the very least with an email — so I was never left without communication. This was especially important when I was stressed and anxious and emotional toll I had from my court matters, as her responsiveness gave me reassurance during difficult times. I highly recommend Temika to anyone seeking a lawyer who is professional, caring, and truly committed to her clients’ needs.Posted on Elzette GenisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an exceptional experience with Stewart Family Law. From the very beginning, the team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to understand my situation and made a difficult process feel so much more manageable. Their communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt informed and confident in the advice I was receiving. Every team member I dealt with was kind, respectful, and truly had my best interests at heart. I’m so grateful for their guidance and expertise - I honestly couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you again!Load more
