Bayside Family Lawyers
A Bespoke Approach to Family LawLegal Expertise. Driven by Experience.
At CCS Lawyers, I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to family law. Based in Braeside and servicing Melbourne’s Bayside, Mornington Peninsula, and South-Eastern suburbs, we offer a boutique legal experience designed for those who value high-level strategy, and genuine empathy.
Professional Knowledge, Personal Insight
With 20 years in the legal field and 17 years predominantly in family law, I offer more than just technical advice. I bring a unique perspective to my practice, having navigated Family Law Court proceedings personally as a parent. I understand the high stakes, the sleepless nights, and the emotional weight of parenting disputes because I have been there. I have been successful in guiding clients through simple amicable separations to clients whose separations are messy and complex. My experience, personal insight, combined with a Master of Applied Law (Family Law) and a background in Accounting, allows me to provide empathetic but pragmatic, “real-world” solutions that other practitioners might overlook.
