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.

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.

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.

Aaron Rogers

I have no hesitation in recommending Delaney Roberts and their excellent services. I dealt with Clare McAteer and found that she made complex issues easy to understand.

Kellie Payne

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.”

5 Stars almost seem not enough!!

I have referred a couple friends to Delaney Roberts who were both disappointed and disenfranchised with their current representation. Clare McAteer handled their matters and the feedback I got from them was that Clare was nothing short of exceptional! She was attentive, professional as well as kind and empathetic in what was very emotional and difficult times for them.

I have recently had Clare McAteer assist me and my family with a matter, and I couldn’t speak higher of her amazing work and professionalism. She has been very understanding and caring of my matter, whilst working tirelessly with such a pressing timeline.

Naomi McMilan

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.

Nigel James
