Fidan Shevket is outstanding, I have used her services many times and each time she is highly knowledgeable and has an aptitude for achieving the best outcome possible. I just read that she recently received an award and it does not surprise me in the least, if you're after advice in family law, she's the one.

I would recommend family lawyer Julia Yang to anyone. She was empathetic when I was going through a tough time. Everyone at Fox and Standard appears to provide a similar standard of service. Congratulations Julia, you deserve high praise.

I write to sing the praises of Robert Millard who looked after my interests in a family law matter.
Consistently professional and ‘to the point’, Robert offered clear and concise advice. He never wasted my time.
His gentle nature showed care and empathy whilst remaining focused on the matter at hand.
Robert was always respectful and open when personal information was in question, allowing me to trust him implicitly and not feel embarrassed.
A positive experience in what was such a stressful situation!

Robert was extremely professional, but most importantly very easy to talk too.
He was very precise with all information which made the whole process stress free.
He always responded immediately to my emails and calls.
I would highly recommend Robert and Nicole at Fox and Staniland.

Be careful from the moment you step into their offices. Ask them if they would charge you for talking to you. We had a situation and I asked one of their lawyers, a gentleman named Craig, if I could legally claim something from the previous owners of the house I bought. He practically said no. But then I ended up paying $550. They never told me they would charge me just to answer if they can work for me. Well, I guess they are desperate. So, that’s my donation to them.
