Absolutely shocking family lawyer firm. Stay away from these people at all costs! I went through four lawyers in under two years (as they can't keep staff) after leaving MLS and being refunded MY money from trust have repeatedly chase me for $40, which should have been sorted in refund. If you want to waste TIME and MONEY in family court choose MLS.
Paul Roberts from Men’s Legal Service is to be commended in the way he guided and supported my son as he navigated complex parenting orders. Paul was professional, available, and caring in the way he administered his advice. In the end comprehensive protective Final Orders were made without the need to go to trial. Thank you Paul. We highly recommend Men’s Legal Service.
Could not be more disgusted nor disappointed in this “Mens legal service”. I have had soul care of my 9 year old for almost 7 years now and just had him returned to me for a second time in 3 years after another recovery application. I then looked to this service for further help and support. For two weeks Mike Tran has told me they were happy to help after explaining my situation and paying for my consult, I then waited another 7 days for a form to be emailed to me to sign & return before putting money in there trust account of which I never received and was told on 3 seperate occasions he would have it emailed through by the end of each of those 3 business days. Absolutely poor to no contact, no return calls on 5 occasions over another week. Then to call me on a Monday morning only 4 days prior to court proceedings and tell me unfortunately they could not help was not even the worst of it, to give me poor advise in regards to representing myself as “yes” the child had been in my care for a significant amount of time and the judge will see that in my favour, I honestly do not have the appropriate words. Thank you very much for jeopardising my sons stability & safety now after screwing me around for weeks as I have no legal representation only days prior to court to which I could have spoken to, seen and paid numerous other firms with immediate results. ABSOLUTE waist of time and money is a complete understatement. Helping fathers have contact with there children is easy, it’s every fathers RIGHT, good or bad! But to jeopardise my soul care like this and to send me into a court room blindly on my own with such poor advise is so so disgusting on your behalf. This legal service should not represent the word “Mens” in its title.
I found myself in a legal situation that I had never experienced before, and, as a newly Permanent Resident, did not understand the legal system. Going through the proverbial phonebook, I called the first solicitor I found, and spent $4,000 for 5 hours of legal work, with no end of litigation in sight. I was distraught; immobilized. Fortunately, my good mate recommended Men’s Legal Services in Australia, founded in 2017, to assist persons like myself. I cannot say how much Men’s Legal Services, and in particular, Office Manager Sajan Naker, have helped me get my psychological and legal houses in order. I have never been rushed, told my issues or perspectives were trivial, nor looked upon as a wallet to be gleaned. Sajan listens, confirms with you understanding, then contacts solicitors around Australia to be of service. When I have called for help, unbalanced in many ways, Sajan would call back within the hour, if not receiving the call immediately. Before acquainting myself with Men’s Legal Services, I was frozen in my personal life and career. Now, supported and empowered by Sajan and his team, I am back to serving Australia and the larger world community. I have recommended Men’s Legal Services to many of my Australian mates, and would make this a first call for legal matters in Australia. Giving thanks, Martin
As a male victim of Family Violence, my world was turned upside down when my ex partner and I separated, disputed child arrangements and I faced an IVO that stopped me even being able to hug my kids due to the allegations made. Anish and the Men's Legal Service were one of the few supports available and have been by my side every step of the way providing expert legal advice at a time when every day was a mental battle and I barely had the finances to consider legal action. Men's Legal Service is affordable even if you don't qualify for Legal Aid. Men's Legal Service has ensured I can have a future as a good Dad with my kids. Calling them was the best decision I have ever made.
