Family Law Parenting

Highly recommend, 2 year family law matter settled with a positive outcome. Very professional, very understanding and kind. Could not fault the service. Thank you Tayleh, Blaise and team. I appreciate all your hard work.

Kaya Huseyin represented me in my divorce settlement and was fantastic. She was always on the ball, informative and understanding. Highly recommend her

I feel extremely lucky that I had the support of my solicitor, Clare, throughout this process. She is as genuine, warm and kind as she is professional, efficient and knowledgeable.

These past 2.5 years, I’ve been through one of the most challenging experiences — certainly the most traumatizing — in my life to date. Clare dealt with my parenting and property matters with patience and understanding. It was a long and drawn-out process that was beyond either of our control, but she persevered regardless! I am truly and deeply grateful for all the time and energy she devoted to my case. Thanks to Clare (and her amazing team), I was able to get the resolution I needed in order to finally move forward with my life.

Delaney Roberts Family Lawyers are fabulous. I can not recommend Clare enough. Clare got everything we wanted. Thank you again Clare.

Very professional, genuine, and prompt. Would recommend their services.

Linsey, Kylie and Sharlotte are the best team I could have asked for to help guide me through some really challenging matters and challenging decisions. Always working together in providing great advice and support. The best!

If you need help like I did, please talk to these guys and ask if Kaya can help, she has honestly changed my life. Thank you!

If I could give any more stars I would. I was at rock bottom after losing my son and these guys and Kaya in particular have helped more then I could ever thank them for. Kaya dealt with my emotions and feelings at a level that goes way beyond any professional help and has guided me into a position that I am currently in the process of seeing my son again after almost 8 months. Without her help I would never be in this position, so I cannot recommend these guys any higher then 5 stars, but I would give them 5 million if I could. Kaya you are an absolute superstar!!

Sharlotte was absolutely amazing from the start. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and understood my individual needs showing care and sympathy. I have already recommended her to a few others in unfortunate circumstances and will continue to highly recommend Delaney Roberts.

From their competence, thoroughness and knowledge of the law, my matter was handled remarkably, while also showing me genuine empathy for my situation.

I had the pleasure of Anna Roberts and Olivia Shedden handling my Family Law matter and I cannot fault them, nor thank them enough. Anna and Olivia made, what was an extremely difficult time in my life, a little bit more bearable. Again, I cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to anybody going through a similar situation

Excellent service and advice, highly recommended!

Her professionalism and expertise made a stressful situation much more manageable, and I truly appreciated her clear guidance and support.

I had the pleasure of working with Simone Johnson for a parenting mediation that resulted in consent orders, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her assistance. She was incredibly quick with her responses, always helpful, and provided constant reassurance throughout the process. I highly recommend Simone Johnson to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate lawyer.

Simone is an absolute pleasure to deal with, would highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Kaya for her professionalism and expertise in family law.

I recently left a Defacto relationship. I was lost and confused about what my options were and what my next move should be. After seeking advice from Kaya Huseyin I was able to take the right steps to achieve the best outcome for an awful situation.

Avoided court through successful mediation – money well spent. Rhiannan’s support was invaluable.

Rhiannan Earl has been extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. A true specialist in the challenging field of family law.
I appreciated the opportunity to review and shape my case with her expert advice.
It helped hone my points and make things crystal clear.

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.

I was very pleased with Shree’s advice, timely responses, and negotiation skills. Highly recommend Shree Gaikwad and the Delaney Roberts team.

My ex-partner filed an application in the family court for our children and I didn’t know how to go about dealing with it. I was lost and overwhelmed with it all and made an enquiry with Delaney Roberts. Shree explained the process to me in clear terms, prepared my response documents and negotiated an agreement on my behalf with my ex’s lawyer without needing to go through with the Hearing.

I received excellent information from the legal assistant, who was very helpful and pleasant.

Highly recommend their services!

I had a great experience with the office! The service over the phone was excellent and the result of my call was very positive and engaging. The lady with the cute accent did an amazing job listening to my enquiries and making sure my kids and I were okay.

Brooke made me feel so at ease and explained the whole process moving forward! High recommend.

I am forever grateful for all of Clare’s hard work and commitment that helped alleviate a lot of stress.

Clare was recommended to me in very high regard and her experience, knowledge, dedication and expertise surpassed all my expectations. I felt Clare was personally invested and she was always familiar with my case.

Clare and Briarna were of great help in a very difficult situation :).

I highly recommend this firm and their legal team.

Unfortunately, (I say unfortunately in relation to fact that I needed legal assistance), I have had to engage Delaney Roberts twice in the last three years. On the first occasion Linda acted for me and the second time Rhiannan is now representing me. Anyone who has been involved in family law knows how emotionally draining, frustrating and tiring the process is. When you come out the other side and you worked with Delaney Roberts, you can be confident that you got the best result possible and did so with the absolute confidence it was achieved ethically, with good advice, timely responses and a sound knowledge of the system and an honest appraisal of your situation, and all done without dirty tactics and mud slinging.

Through their services I have been able to reconnect with my children, and I thank them for helping me to do that.

Delaney Roberts Family Law, Claire McAteer and Briarna Albert were a pleasure to deal with. Apart from a few little hiccups along the way, they were understanding and accepting of my situation.

I felt that I had strong support from the team in this very stressful situation.

Clare McAteer handled a very complex and highly challenging situation with respect, insight and while providing reassurance to me throughout. Clare was always approachable, willing to discuss ideas and approaches.

Sharlotte and Kylie made my matter very easy to deal with and I am grateful for their diligence, professionalism and empathy.

She is very child focused and fair on the grounds of equal and meaningful relationships with children and parents.

Linsey Wilson represented me in my family law matter.  I would recommend her to anyone wanting a fair and equal parenting situation with a great outcome with children’s wellbeing at the core of the matter.

From the very first meeting I was instilled with confidence that I had chosen the right place to look after my matter.

Both Clare and Briarna have been nothing but prompt in all communication with myself, which is very reassuring during such a stressful time.

Went above and beyond to make a difficult time in my life as smooth and friendly as possible.

Absolute thorough and professional effort from the team at Delany Roberts.  Would highly recommend speaking with Linsey, Sharlotte and the team for your family law needs.

I would recommend Anna to anyone. A genuinely good person and very professional.

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Delaney Roberts. The agency was friendly and easy to deal with. The advice was clear and timely.

I have loved Clare’s honesty and how she listens and explains things to me all of the time.

She puts in a lot of care and effort for her clients and achieves a good outcome. I have complete trust in her.

From my perspective you are light years ahead of the competition. It is so good to see a professional with such great customer service, who can communicate in a calm clear manner, especially when I am and usually a bit emotional.

You were actually referred to me by one of your previous clients. Just goes to show how strong word of mouth is, especially in this town. There are now more people running around Newcastle saying what a terrific job you do. Keep up the good work, I look forward to continuing to work with you on my matter.

My sincere gratitude for getting this arranged with commensurate alacrity, it is thoroughly appreciated!.

A true champion of your profession.

Thank you very much for all you have done for me. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in 4 years last night. Once again thank you for your patience and attitude and commitment for a positive outcome.

Linsey’s youth belies her strong organisational skills, eye for detail, steadiness, sensitivity to my mental health issues and overall capacity for support and understanding of my situation.

Nobody wants to find themselves going through a legal ‘battle’, post separation. It’s draining, painful, lengthy, ridiculously expensive and to be avoided if at all possible. However, my super capable solicitor, Linsey Wilson, at Delaney Roberts Family Lawyers, helped guide me through about nine months of negotiation and some sometimes shocking behaviour from my ex and her lawyer.

She wasn’t fixated on going to court at all costs and helped guide me to a sensible solution, reached after just one day in front of the Newcastle family court registrar. That is what you pay for, in my opinion, and Delaney Roberts Family Lawyers got me through a difficult financial settlement and subsequent agreement over parenting orders with guile, intelligence and not a little kindness. Linsey helped me settle before the costs (financial and emotional) got even greater, so I’ll always be grateful for that. As will my two young daughters, with whom I can now concentrate on having happy times, 50% of the time.

You managed the unique complexities of my case whilst providing professional advice, support, understanding and knowledge.

I would like to thank you for very much for providing me with exceptional representation in my family law matter. Your approach to the issues and providing explanation and direction really helped put me at ease throughout the process.

Clare, you are amazing you have just given our family the best Christmas present ever.

Watching you do your thing, was awe inspiring. You have given me so much confidence in getting what I and my son truly deserve.

First of all, I want to thank you for the amazing support and guidance you gave me yesterday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My experience with Clare McAteer and staff at Delaney Roberts Specialist Family Lawyers has been excellent.

I needed Legal help at the last minute and Clare worked with great effort to get me the results that I needed. Clare and team have been professional, efficient and honest. Clare has kept me informed every step of the way and made this very difficult time in my life a lot easier. I highly recommend Clare at Delaney Roberts.

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.

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.

Clare was informative, responsive and attentive to my needs and always actioned what she said she would.

After an average experience with a previous lawyer, I was humbled by Clare’s assistance in my Family Law matter. I would recommend Delaney Roberts.

Clare was always concerned about what it would cost me and helped me get the best possible outcome without it costing me a fortune.

Clare is amazing. After listening to what I wanted to get out of my case, she explained in detail what was realistic and what wasn’t. Hopefully won’t need another lawyer but would definitely use her services again.

I’m so appreciative of the support, guidance and legal advice Monique Allan has provided for my family law matter.

Thank you Monique and Jill. Monique has worked with me through some stressful situations and I highly recommend her not only for her knowledge and expertise, but also for her calm and fair approach during a difficult time.

Linsey was able to help me navigate this unknown territory resulting in a fair and reasonable outcome.

My solicitor Linsey and the team at Delaney Roberts have been highly professional and supportive throughout my family law matter. Thanks again Team!

Clare McAteer is a highly competent and caring solicitor who always ensures that her clients feel comfortable and informed at all times.

Highly recommend! If you’re looking for a kind, personable and efficient lawyer, I couldn’t recommend her enough.

When deciding who is the best person to represent you and put your families best interests first you can’t go past Linsey Wilson at Delaney Roberts Adamstown. From the day we walked in her office we knew we had the most professional lawyer to guide and direct us to a successful outcome.

There is no limit to the care they show for their clients and to get an email out of business hours to me just shows that they care, just because the lights are turned off in the office doesn’t mean they stop thinking about you!

“I have been dealing with Delaney Roberts for a few months now and I could not be happier with the way they conduct business and the service they provide.
I have had dealings with Clare McAteer and Linsey Wilson and I must say that they are both amazing women and are fantastic in the jobs they do.
Considering the matter that I have enlisted their services, they have never made feel like I was just another case number. Instead I am a person and I matter. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Delaney Roberts. Keep up the great work.”

Love love love. Linsey has made my family law matter so easy to deal with. Accomplishing time with my son after 2.5years apart. Words can not express my gratitude.

Clare was extremely informative. Understand my issue and a guided which is proving positive for my unfair AVO scenario linked to Family court matter.

Thank you once again to Linsey Wilson and Delaney Roberts Specialist Family Lawyers, we would not hesitate to use you again in the future if the need arises and would highly recommend your services to anyone.

It is with great respect and gratitude that we write this Google referral for Delaney Roberts, Specialist Family Lawyers at Adamstown, Newcastle, and in particular Linsey Wilson – Senior Associate Solicitor.

Earlier this year we had the need for a family law specialist solicitor for a complicated matter. We had never had any experience in family law matters previously and as we are living in the UK and required an Australian solicitor to represent us locally in Newcastle it was a daunting and overwhelming process to face.

We approached several firms who were not willing to take our case and then we were recommended to Delaney Roberts. All staff we encountered were friendly and responsive and willing to listen to the particulars of our matter. After initially corresponding with Samantha Miller, we were appointed to Linsey Wilson who had the most experience and expertise to represent our specific matter.

From the onset we were very impressed with the seamless manner in which Linsey was able to put us at ease and have full confidence in her abilities and skill as a lawyer. Linsey really made a difference in our case with her personal and caring approach to our matter. At all times we had full trust in Linsey’s commitment to gaining the outcome we were seeking.

Communication between the time zones was not a problem, Linsey tailored appointments at convenient times to us on a variety of forums, including video meetings, emails, and phone calls. Linsey was outstanding in her coordination of communication with two other solicitors who were involved locally in our matter and a UK solicitor. It was so reassuring to be secure in the knowledge that our solicitor had everything at hand – no need for us to chase.

To say we were satisfied with Linsey’s strategic approach to our matter, her organisation, preparation and how Linsey conducted herself in the court proceedings is an understatement. We could not be happier with the successful outcome of our court matter and believe we would not have had the same outcome with another lawyer or firm.

Many who spoke with us during our process voiced that they would not like to be in our lawyers shoes and that it was unlikely that the court would rule in our favour. Perhaps if those who voiced these opinions had the pleasure to have a lawyer such as Linsey Wilson of Delaney Roberts Specialist Family Lawyers represent them they would experience the wonderful feeling we have when everything comes together and ensures that the system really works.

I recently went through a painful separation, the last thing I wanted to do is go through a long custody battle and splitting of assets. Only working with Fiona for a short time I found her to be super responsive and very professional not taking any nonsense from her counterpart. She made what could have been an even longer drawn out affair move smoothly and made sensible suggestions as to not cost anyone involved any more money than it already had. Highly recommend Fiona for no nonsense help with family law matters.

I would highly recommend Monique Allan. Monique is very attentive and professional. I felt my feelings were validated and I had her support and reassurance throughout the process of settling a family law matter.

My only regret is that I didn’t find Linda immediately after separating.

I came to Linda Hackney at Delaney Roberts exasperated after 18 months of little progress with parenting issues. Linda listened, and then proposed an appropriate course of action that once implemented bought about a resolution that sees my children and I finally have certainty. Linda and her team are professional, thoughtful, compassionate, and get results.

Clare’s knowledge is unrivalled, her bubbly personality reassured me from the start.

It’s with a heavy heart I wrote this review because it means my journey with Clare and Bianca is over. I met the girls during a very difficult time in my life and they were the light helping me navigate through. Bianca was always available to answer any question no matter how random or silly it was. This dynamic duo are the people you want in your corner, they go above and beyond and surpassed my wildest expectations. I hope I never have to use their service again but if I do they’ll be the first people I call on. I love you girls so much, you’re become part of my tribe and you laugh at my jokes what more could someone ask for.
