Lucy Carew-Reid Nicoles support in the months leading up to the family law court date and during the court session itself was exceptional. She provided me with well-informed, straightforward, and helpful advice as we prepared for court. She was prompt at responding to emails holding meetings when necessary. Throughout the process, she managed to keep me from feeling overwhelmed by pacing the tasks, such as preparing affidavits and court orders, at a manageable rate. One of the aspects I truly appreciated was Nicoles honesty and wealth of knowledge that helped us navigate towards the result I thought was best for the children. She didn’t over promise or under promise results or give me unrealistic answers to any questions I had, which I found invaluable. Should I ever require the services of a family lawyer in the future, I wouldnt hesitate to engage Nicoles expertise once again. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance in family law matters.

Aleks Ploskov I only wish I had engaged David sooner. David was not the first lawyer I worked with. By the time I found him, things were already in a very difficult place. From the beginning he went into damage control, doing everything possible to get things back on track. I will say that David is a very knowledgeable family law expert. His attention to detail is exceptional. He also has a very calming demeanour about him. This helped me keep all my emotions in check. It was a tough time in my life. While I did not get the outcome I had hoped for – for reasons unrelated to David’s representation – David salvaged my situation as best as possible and help me avoid the worst-case scenario in very complicated circumstances. I’m very grateful for everything David has done for me. He gets a double thumbs up from me. Highly recommended. Please dads, if you starting this process now. Stop, engage a competent professional family lawyer and listen to them.

David is extremely experienced in the subtleties of family law and was able to warn me against making mistakes that would have otherwise created problems in the future. David is a great listener, and holds a very safe space. He does not rush things, takes time to deeply understand the situation, and conducts thorough research into the matter before giving very comprehensive advice.

Andrew Harper We at HBT Advisory have liaised with David on family law matters previously and his wealth of knowledge in the area has been an excellent resource for our practice. We would have no hesitation recommending David given his sound advice and his passion for Family Law.

D, Marisa Incompetent, lazy, unreliable, unapologetic, unwilling and unable to follow VERY simple instructions repeated time and again in person and in writing for writing up a will. Weeks wasted. Very expensive now. This was once a great firm. Avoid like the plague. Especially if your time is limited.

Paul Hayes Im a first home buyer, St Kilda East. I engaged Grant & Co Lawyers for contract review and conveyancing. The entire process from onboarding to settlement could not have been easier, especially as I was on a very steep learning curve and even my dumbest questions – and I had a few! – were dealt with in a friendly, helpful and respectful way. Excellent communication, transparent pricing, professional and local, too. Thank you Dean and Rachel for all you did. I cant recommend them highly enough.

Jess Pollard I highly recommend this amazing team! As the partner of someone who worked with Umbrella Family Law on a complex childrens matter, I can’t thank Eve and Chimene enough for their outstanding support throughout a very challenging family situation. From the outset, they handled everything with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care. Their assertiveness in navigating the complexities of the case, combined with their compassionate approach, made all the difference. They consistently kept us informed and ensured every step was clear, which gave us the confidence we needed during such a difficult time.

George Chijarira I cannot speak highly enough of Rose Storey and the entire team at Umbrella Family Law. As a father who endured an incredibly high conflict separation marked by multiple false accusations and what felt like a hopeless legal battle, Rose was nothing short of extraordinary. She not only took on my case with absolute professionalism, but she also brought genuine compassion, unwavering support, and an unmatched level of expertise to every step of the process. What seemed impossible, 50/50 custody, became a reality because of her tireless dedication and strategic brilliance. Rose doesn’t just “do the job” — she deeply cares. She sees the human behind the file, and her integrity, care, and determination never wavered even when things looked bleak. If you’re facing the emotional and legal storm that is the Family Law Courts, I cannot recommend Rose enough. Whether you’re a man, woman, or child going through this system, this is the person you want in your corner. 10 out of 10 in every aspect. Truly a rare gem in this field.

Highly recommend the team at Umbrella especially Max and Jane.
