Ioanita and her team were very supportive, fair and really enabled an amicable outcome far quicker than I thought was possible. I felt at ease and confident the moment I walked into their offices.
I used Gentles Family Lawyers to help with my complicated Binding Child Support Agreement and Divorce. This was a difficult process to embark on but Ioanita and her team were very supportive from the beginning to closure and really helped us find an amicable co-parenting situation.
The staff and awesome and friendly. They're extremely knowledgeable and caring. Fees are very clear and easy to navigate

At the time I engaged Gentles Family Lawyers, my property and child support negotiations had stalled. But within a few weeks, Ioanita was able to secure me a really good deal that will allow my kids and myself to start again.
Ioanita and her team are caring, professional, efficient and they do what they say. If they tell you they'll get back to you within 24 hours that's what will happen.
Their fee arrangements are reasonable and affordable.
There are few tougher things you will go through in your life than the end of your marriage. At a time like this you need a lawyer who is in your corner

I am so grateful to have met Ioanita to help me out to sort out my lifetime changes for the past year or so. She is not only professionally efficient but also absolutely compassionate as a fine individual. She understands how the others' pains are like in their lives, therefore, she can put all her professional expertise into practice in the most suitable ways, in order to solve the matters for her clients. You will never be disappointed with her performances as a legal representative. On this occasion, I would also like to express my gratitude to her staff. They are all warm and welcoming yet

Ioanita and her team are professional and knowledgeable. They were a great help, patient and efficient, whilst also being fair to both parties in the divorce and handling my will appropriately. I recommend them for anyone who needs accurate and fair legal documents.

Thank you Ioanita and team for your assistance in finalising the assets split for my divorce settlement. The response throughout was excellent.
I appreciated your advice and mediation approach, so that while emotions ran high on both sides, we were able to settle in an amicable fashion.
