TESTIMONIALS

Hear from our clients on how we provide sophisticated, professional and compassionate representation

"Lucy and the team were amazing with my case and with me - so professional and empathetic"

 I felt so comfortable and supported while going through something so ugly and stressful. Lucy took the stress out of everything and was so well informed. She knows her stuff and really fought for me and my children. I would recommend her a thousand times over. After seeing a few different solicitors previously, i can safely say, they are NOT all built the same. Lucy and her team are next level, just like family. And at a time when you need it most, it is so comforting to have someone as passionate and knowledgeable about the workings of the law in your court!!And yes, we got the outcome we were looking for!! So grateful for this wonderful team. Thank you!!

“Anna and the team at Neilan
Stramandinoli are exceptional"

Whatever your family law situation, Anna makes the process so much easier through sound and realistic advice and a compassionate and listening support style that makes you feel heard and understood, with strong advocacy for you at every step. You always know where you stand with Anna and I cannot thank her and the team enough for helping me successfully navigate a complex situation to the best possible outcome. Highly recommended without hesitation.
