I wish I had come across Liz sooner. I had previously received some incorrect advice around matters relating to my property settlement from another lawyer, and I am very grateful that Liz took the time to explain the legislation and relevant calculations. She is very knowledgeable, patient and thorough and gave me a number of different options to consider. I came away from the session with clarity and confidence to make decisions that would take into consideration the best interests of all parties involved. I would highly recommend her.

Laura

We would like to extend to Liz our heartfelt gratitude and thanks for the service and support you provided to our daughter during her recent property settlement process. Without your skilled, professional, and determined approach, the outcome would have been far less beneficial. As a team you have always been approachable and positive and always had our daughter’s best interests foremost in all discussions and negotiations. Despite the present COVID-19 situation, with the resulting increase in demand for your services, you always made yourselves available and never gave us the feeling that you were too busy to attend to our requests.
