Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Highly recommended Cathleen Corridon, have had them on a family matter for close to two years on a difficult case, and have they been amazing with communication, and explaining the situation as it changes. From reception to court the whole team has been exceptional.

Highly recommended this law firm I have been working with Nathan for the past 7 months with my family law case and he has been nothing short of brilliant.
Nathan has great communication skills, legal knowledge and is very committed to his cases, He has replied to my calls / emails always that day sometimes within the hour.

I have used Cathleen Corridon & Associates for many years now. They helped me have my child in my life and they have always been quick to respond and willing to help whenever I needed them. Recently after many years I contact Nathan for help and the outcome was excellent. Overall very professional lawyers and I highly recommend them.

I’d give minus 5 stars if I could. This is the most unprofessional, unorganised and unresponsive excuse for a law firm I have ever come across. Questions remain unanswered. Phone calls and emails are rarely returned. The only time we heard from Samira was when the other parties lawyer wanted something, and Samira jumped. She said things then denied it, gave wrong information time and time again and never listened. The receptionist there are rude and talk down to you. If you voice your frustration with their lack of representation you get ignored. Oh and I forgot to say, that Samira was more interested
