Angela Hudson

The Smart Start Appointment was excellent value, set me up with clear expectations, and settled my mind about the challenging times ahead.

I have had Clare assist with a family law matter. As a lawyer of a different specialty, it took a lot for me to invest financially in specialist services while in a difficult financial situation. I am very happy I chose to seek Clare’s advice instead of trying to navigate it on my own. Clare is astute, a clear communicator, and absolutely wonderful to deal with. Our appointments were on time, booked easily, and the staff are lovely. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a good basis of advice in a difficult time. Thank you to the team for their help.

They did what they said they would do, when they said they would. They were there for me when I needed them and they have literally helped me change my life!

At the start of my separation I read that a good solicitor will ask you what you want, not tell you, and that was the very first question Linda asked me. Then she listened and understood! Linda, Kylie, and Christa at Delaney Roberts have been amazing support over the last twelve months. Excellent information and advice, every question answered and I have felt supported and informed the whole time. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would. They were there for me when I needed them and they have literally helped me change my life! I highly recommend the team at Delaney Roberts. I can not thank them enough for their support.

Hannah Cashman

At a time when I was extremely vulnerable DR made navigating the legal jargon easy, answered my many questions without making me feel stupid and provided endless reassurance and support.

I would like to thank everyone at Delaney Roberts, particularly Kaya Huseyin, for the incredible help and support provided to me through an extremely difficult time. Legal advice was practical and ethical and I was amazed at the kindness and compassion that they displayed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Delaney Roberts to anyone going through the absolute nightmare that is family court.

Sarah Jackson

From initial consult all the way to completion of my family law matter, Monique made me feel cared for, heard and ensured only the best for my situation.

When picking someone to entrust with your own personal situation, you want to have someone that is in your corner, and that’s what I found with Monique and Jill. The entire process was made easy, and they handled everything with the utmost professionalism. I truly appreciated their personalised service, care and advice. I highly recommend them and the team at Delaney Roberts. Thank you again Monique and Jill, you have both made a hard and difficult situation less stressful.

Matt Stoddart

Linsey Wilson and her team of experts at Delaney Roberts where exceptional in understanding my situation and implementing a strong fair case towards custody with my daughter.

During the year it took to complete the final orders to be placed, Linsey went above and beyond countless times and acted immediately after our first consultation which resulted in me being able to see my daughter after 3 weeks of her being withheld. I wish that no parent will have to endure what myself & my daughter have had to go through, but with the help & guidance of Linsey this process was made with assurance for an end result. So again a great outcome for myself & my daughter all thanks bro the fantastic work of Linsey & her approachable team at Delany Roberts.

Robyn Cameron

From the moment you step in the door, it’s like a warm hug. Everyone at Delaney Roberts makes you feel safe, at home and embraced. You feel completely supported, and you have hope.

Take back control of your life and make a fresh start.
