Gavin is extremely competent and professional, he takes a no nonsense approach and was responsive and considerate to any queries I had. He cares about his clients and it is only through his guidance that I was able to achieve such a pleasing final outcome.

If you’re reading this review , you have already found the one family law firm that cares more about its clients , than about the money they can squeeze from your pockets . This was one of the scariest ,heart breaking experiences iv had to go through. Having a person you can trust in your corner is the most important thing you will need . Period. After already communicating with two different firms, one conversation with Emerson law and Gavin Lai , I knew straight away ,I was in good hands .. Thankyou Emerson law . And thank you Gavin. .

I wish I knew about this law firm earlier. I feel listened when I met Aishwarya Somal the Director of the company and she referred me to her senior lawyer Gavin Lai to handle my case. Gavin is honest, professional and a warrior when it comes to family law matter. #honestlawyer

I would like to sincerely thank the Emerson family Lawyers for the support they have given me this far. I Was going through complicated family matters but Gavin gave his best and I finally got settled with a great and a positive outcome that saw my family restored.

We 100% recommend this firm!! My partner and I wanted to apply for the partner visa and we had our first experience with Emerson Family Law in September 2019. We were met with positivity, warmth and compassion from Aishwarya Somal, she instantly put us at ease and made us feel very secure with applying for this visa. She talked us through our… concerns and her solutions made us feel positive, with the application paperwork everyone at Emerson was always happy to help us either by phone call or email. We were always kept up to date with the next steps and how our application was progressing

My Partner and I were having some issues with the final submission for the partner visa, which became a little technical for us. We phoned Emerson Family Law, we were invited in the very next day and met with Sarv Singh - Lawyer and registered Migrant Agent. Sarv put to rest any anxiety we had and basically took over. She knew exactly what was… needed, and put a lot of time and effort into the final lodgement. We weren't expecting our case to be given so much attention, however our case was treated as if it was the only priority for them. I can't thank the team enough at Emerson Family Law

We recently had a legal matter conducted by Gavin at Emerson Family Law. We found Gavin to be very professional, friendly, efficient and highly responsive to emails. Gavin clearly stated a fixed price at the outset of our matter that was competitive with the market. I would not hesitate to recommend the firm and will use their services again if needs be.

Gavin Lai is simply the best!! I have never met a lawyer so sincere in his approach and so genuine in his care for you and what matters most to your heart and to your life. I have unfortunately been to court a number of times to protect myself and now to also protect my son so I am in a great position to make comparisons to other lawyers. I wish I… had Gavin’s help in the past but consider myself so very lucky to have him on my side now when it matters most. I simply can not recommend him highly enough. He has protected me from myself with helping me to see the bigger picture, has

I cant thank Gavin Lai and the team at Emerson Family Law enough.
He guided me though the whole overwhelming experience of financial separation. He inconstantly provided me with realistic and insightful advice and never missed a detail through the whole complex process. My opinions and needs were heard, respected and responded too.
Thanks Gavin for ensuring a good outcome for my children and I moving forward. Don't hesitate, just call/email him.

I cannot express how happy my fiance & I are with Gavin from Emerson Family Law. A friend referred us to Gavin to assist with some family custody matters. Gavin was VERY prompt, professional and re-assuring. We arrived confused, concerned and curious. He gave us the opportunity to open up and explain our situation to the finest detail and in return… he explained to us clearly where we stand legally and provided constructive advice on what we should do next to better position ourselves regarding the matter. We are now in a complete understanding of what steps we can take to cater for
