Melissa and her team at Cantwell Family Lawyers did an absolutely excellent job in guiding me through family law matters towards a very satisfying result. Melissa's deep knowledge and experience, as well as her ability to brilliantly articulate matters via written letters or verbally, were central in achieving a very satisfying outcome. I highly recommend Melissa and her team for anyone wanting an experienced and talented Lawyer who will fight for what is right and just. Having Melissa and her team on my side proved very valuable to me, both from a mental and emotional perspective, as well as a

I highly recommend Cantwell Lawyers for any family law related matters. Their support helping me to gain majority care of my daughter (fathers can have majority care too), has honestly saved my daughter from very difficult circumstances. The empathy, compassion and genuine concern for your situation by Melissa, Lesley and Bryn, I can’t speak highly enough. They have truly changed my daughter life for the better, and given her a chance for a much brighter future. I feel that the support and advice given well exceeded my expectations. I do wish to thank them all for their support.

My experience with Cantwell Family Lawyers was exceptional.
From my very first meeting I felt understanding, reassurance, empathy and compassion.
Melissa and Bryn, working as a team and both possessing outstanding knowledge, were always on top of every detail and were always contactable.
Lesley in accounts remembered my name, child and situation just from my voice, after over a year and was always a pleasure to deal with.
I switched from a large law firm where I felt lost in the machine, could not get timely responses from my lawyer and felt I was being milked for every dollar at every opportunity

I have had the advice and support of Melissa and her team since a referral given to me by the Bouverie Centre in 2016. From that time until today I have found them to be exceptional in all aspects of their work. Family law is complex and emotionally draining to be part of as a client-so to have a firm that is transparent with their fees,always available to clarify and explain procedures and pragmatic about which battles to fight-invaluable !
A small firm with hearts of gold !

I used Canwell Family Lawyers for my separation. There attention to detail, advise and help was exceptional. I can not thank them enough!! They were honest and upfront with the expectations. At points it was highly emotional and they managed me through decisions and aspect that I did not agree however there advise was upfront and respected. I can not recommend Bryn and Melissa enough.

Excellent Family Lawyers. I found this firm to be great in their strategy, negotiation, attention to detail and confident knowledge of the system. Also very important was their consideration for my lack of knowledge of the process and emotional state of mind.
They got a positive and fair result for both parties at a very reasonable cost and were very helpful with the practical steps of settlement. Highly recommended.
