Why choose an Accredited Family Law Specialist?

To answer this question, we should firstly explain what an Accredited Specialist is.  An Accredited is assessed by senior members and peers in the Law Institute with technical, practical and academic expertise.  To become an Accredited Specialist, one must undergo rigours and tests to demonstrate knowledge, experience and skills to satisfy the Law Institute that they may be recognised for having a special competence in a particular area of law.  When dealing with significant issues surrounding your family, finances, security and quality of life, wouldn’t your interests be better served with a highly qualified, experienced and trained professional to represent you?

Have your family law matters resolved with the best outcomes in mind

Once you’ve decided it’s time to see a lawyer for divorce and you find the relationship is beyond repair don’t allow yourself to be confused with well meaning but ill informed advice. To minimise the adverse impacts of such a breakdown, it is often wise to deal with the issues amicably and quickly. Factors applicable to the couple may involve children, maintenance, support, custody, property, lifestyle and/or finances. There are potentially a number of complexities to be addressed in a minefield of legal and material matters. Even if you’re not ready to “make the break” and on amicable terms parties need to be informed and prepared. Seeing a professional will not only help you move forward but may also alleviate some conflicts and issues which you may not be aware of.

How do I choose the best family lawyer for me?

The choice of solicitor is even more daunting when it involves aspects of your life that go beyond legal considerations.  You not only need to have confidence in their skills and ability to ensure that your interests will be best served but you need to be comfortable that they are the right fit to understand and guide you through the process in a way that will relieve you of some of the stressors that you’re already dealing with.  With Uma you will be informed of what you need to know not what you want to hear.  Backed by a distinguished career in various aspects of law, she’s the family law solicitor that you’ll be glad to have to represent you for the protection of what is precious to you.
