Blackwood Family Lawyers

I would highly recommend Melissa Hine to anyone seeking family law advice or representation. I found Melissa's approach to be genuinely refreshing; she was committed to understanding the specifics of my situation. She talked me through each step of the process and her attention to detail was second to none. I remain deeply appreciative of her legal expertise, her really practical advice and support and her patient way of communicating. It made the world of difference at a really tricky time.

Jennifer Zekirovska's work for me on a very personal and confronting family matter, has shown professionalism that I have not seen too often. Her approach was compassionate and empathetic while quickly grasping the complications of long term family problems. She then responded to each issue that developed, with a prudent style and approach. I was so very shaken, on many occasions during our process, Jennifer helped me get through the confused and complex feelings I was going through. To arrive at the best resolution possible. When consulting a professional, not only are you engaging them for their expertise, you are engaging them to help you in a an emotionally charged matter. Jennifer ticked every box. I will always be greatful to you Jennifer Thank you.

Both Kate Wild and Sarah Elkins are valuable assets, bringing in a wealth of expertise and dedication with a large dose of humanity into the legal system. Due to the complexities of my divorce, I knew I needed a strategic approach and a solid team to find a favourable resolution to my case. From our very first conversation, I knew Kate would be an invaluable advocate on the emotionally draining journey ahead. Kates deep understanding of family law combined with her sharp analytical abilities ensured no details were overlooked when it came to the matrimonial assets which included multinational businesses. She fought fiercely on my behalf and was deeply committed to a fair outcome for the children and I. Her expertise and dedication can only be matched with her deep empathy and guidance which were invaluable in the most arduous times. I am grateful for both Kate and and Sarah for their invaluable support. My kids and I are on a bright new chapter after the most challenging years and beyond excited for the future!

Blackwoods Family Law came highly recommended by a lawyer friend and I can now see why. From my initial consultation with Marita Bajinskis and Kate Wild I was immediately impressed with their sensitivity, professionalism and strategic approach to my matter. Kate Wild was my lawyer and worked tirelessly to obtain a great outcome for me. She was calm and assured throughout the ups and downs of the case which became unexpectedly complex. Kate is highly experienced and has a great legal mind - keeping me grounded with her logic, intellect and insight. She was always anticipating the next steps required to ensure a smooth resolution. Kate made me feel like a part of the team and we worked together to get the outcome I was seeking. Sarah Elkins handled the conveyancing and property settlement and was equally impressive - calm, reliable and highly professional. I strongly recommend Blackwoods Family Law. They are precisely the team you want on your side.

I chose to engage Blackwood Family Lawyers, as there Google reviews were fantastic. A bit of a painful start as some of there staff moved onto jobs in the court system. Unfortunately for me, my parenting matter has been very complex with multiple court hearings. Kate Wild and Sarah Elkins have been looking after my matter for sometime now, and have done a wonderful job in supporting me in and out of the courts. Although a painful process it's great to have someone who both understands the law but also understands real life. It is so fantastic to finally be involved in my daughters life. From a start of 30 mins a week on facetime to 20hours a week and still increasing I now get to spend time with little darling girl
