I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a skilled and caring family lawyer.
Smith Family Law provided an excellent service. Showing care and compassion and obtaining the best possible outcome. Jane Holford in particular was exceptional. I would highly recommend if you are in need of any family law matter.
It was a pleasure to work with Kerry-Ann. She provided highly professional and personalised service when I was seeking probate for my mother's estate. She took the time to explain the process carefully as it was a complex case and to answer all my questions. I could not rate Smith Family Law highly enough.
Ben Smith was very generous with his time, advice and supportive approach. He provided me with some options and offered me a way out of my predicament. Such a wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience, which I am extremely grateful for. Unique in his personable approach and insights, which are so rare in the world of law. Thank you for taking the time to explain my options and for your honesty.
Ben Smith of Smith Family Law in Melbourne supported me through a two years long financial settlement negotiation process with my former partner. He was excellent, I wish I could give more stars!! Ben was always supportive, humane, friendly, and ready to crack a joke. The fees were very reasonable, they never overcharged me, and Ben offered clear and sincere advice, going over and beyond to provide extra support when it might be needed. I have recommended him to all my friends in Oz and would not hesitate to ask for his support in future legal matters; in fact I have already done so. The very best part for me was how he always remains a 'mensch': kind, understanding and respectful of your feelings. I cannot thank Ben and the Smith Family Law team enough for your invaluable support!
