Family law solicitors

Jodi Street was the solicitor for my family law case, and I will forever be grateful for the work she put in for myself and my family. Jodi is easy to contact, honest, diligent and I felt able to talk to her openly from the beginning. She truly cares about who she is representing, and it was clear that the family team within Porter Dodson work cohesively and effectively for their clients. I would not hesitate in recommending Jodi, and Porter Dodson as a whole, to anyone who found themselves needing representation in the family courts.

Your sensitivity and professionalism in navigating through the obstacles thrown in our way, helped me greatly through what has been for me a long and difficult divorce - thank you so much.

Ellen’s reputation preceded my first encounter with her and I have to say she was everything I had been told about. In the courtroom she was masterful – she was able to explain my feelings and my hopes with precision but with a perfect amount of emotion and heart. She found the perfect balance of case law and a father’s love for his children. In person she manages to explain difficult concepts with patience and in language I could understand. She was always honest with me, offering both her significant experience and her “feel” for how my matter might progress and never once did she offer me unrealistic expectations. 

Her written communications were of the absolute highest quality. Whenever I received a case summary from Ellen I was often left in tears. Once more, she was able to convey the love I have for my children right next to the facts and the evidence that supported my case. I do not think I will ever be able to explain the impact that Ellen has had on my life, or on the lives of my children. The impact of Mrs Saunders will be remembered by me for ever. Thank you Ellen. 

I would like to take this opportunity to say just how grateful I am for your help. Not only did you listen but I felt you truly understood my situation. Your empathy and support have made all the difference to me and in reuniting me with my children. You may think you were just doing your job, but in situations like mine, it was like a light during the darkest days.
