Blackwood Family Lawyers

I cannot recommend Blackwood Family Lawyers highly enough. I had previously referred several friends to them who had been impressed and very happy with their work. When my relationship unfortunately ended, they were my first choice and I knew from the first meeting that I was in safe hands. They handled my complex and emotionally challenging divorce with the utmost professionalism, skill, and compassion. From day one, their communication was impeccable—I was always kept informed and reassured at every stage of the process. Despite the case spanning two years, they remained patient, supportive, and incredibly thorough, ensuring that I felt heard and understood throughout. Their legal expertise and strategic approach were invaluable, but what truly set them apart was their ability to provide not just legal guidance but also practical advice and support. The team at Blackwood Family Lawyers, particularly Cassandra, Sarah and Marita are not only outstanding practitioners, but also the right people to have by your side during a challenging family law matter. If you’re looking for lawyers who are professional, responsive, and truly care about their clients, I highly recommend them.

I had the immense privilege of working with Andrew and Chloe during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Their support, professionalism, and unwavering dedication meant more to me than words can express. From the very first interaction, Andrew and Chloe made me feel heard, safe, and empowered. They treated my case with empathy and urgency, and their clear communication gave me a sense of control during a time when I felt incredibly vulnerable. They were not only excellent legal professionals but also deeply kind human beings who genuinely cared about my wellbeing. Unfortunately, due to a decline in my health, I wasn’t able to continue with their services. This was a difficult decision, and I regret not being able to thank them properly. I hope they know how grateful I am for everything they did and how much their early support helped me build the strength I needed to move forward. Andrew and Chloe are a remarkable team, and anyone who finds themselves in their care should know they are in truly capable hands. I will always be thankful.

Caitlin, Carla and their team were absolutely incredible during my property and financial settlement process. Caitlin is not only a very skilled and knowledgeable legal practitioner, but she also has the approachability and kindness which made all the difference to making me feel safe and in good hands in this already stressful process. I always felt heard, and that Caitlin and her team understood my instructions and gave me informed and prompt legal advice throughout the process. Thank you so much to Caitlin and Carla and the whole Blackwood team. I would recommend your services to anyone who needs it! Thank you again.

Review for Mary & Sarah – Outstanding Legal Team Mary was an exceptional lawyer for my family court property matters from start to finish. My case involved serious family violence, with the other party in jail when I engaged Mary for my property settlement. Despite this added complexity, she handled everything with confidence, professionalism, and a clear strategy to get the job done. She was fully invested in my case, demonstrating an impressive level of attention to detail and ensuring that every aspect of the court documents was thorough and precise. She didn’t miss a beat, always staying ahead of the process and leaving no stone unturned. Her knowledge, strategy, and preparation were outstanding, and she consistently outperformed the other party’s lawyer. Whenever I called or emailed Mary, she was incredibly responsive, always providing clear answers and a well thought out plan for the next steps. Her communication gave me confidence and reassurance throughout the process. A special mention also goes to Sarah, an exceptional senior legal assistant who was always there to assist or reassure me when Mary was in a meeting or unavailable. She listened, followed through, and ensured I always had the answers I needed when I needed them. Her efficiency, organisation, and dedication made such a difference during this difficult time. Thank you so much, Mary and Sarah. I will never forget what you have done for me. I highly recommend this incredible legal team to anyone needing strong, supportive, and highly skilled professionals in family law matters.

I engaged Blackwoods Family Lawyers for a matter lasting several months, I worked with Ben Vincent as my lawyer. He was very trustworthy and I felt he always represented my best interests. I had no knowledge or experience with this subject and he supported me through the process and to a successful conclusion. I would recommend them again
