I would recommend that anyone going through a divorce in South Australia go and see Adelaide Family Law, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome in my case. My property settlement matter was difficult and complex. Lisa Gough at Adelaide Family Law is excellent at what she does, highly skilled, very thorough and I had every confidence in her expertise from beginning to end. She was also compassionate and took the time to really listen to my concerns.
