Robert Douge



I would highly recommend AnneMarie Bradley. I found myself in a very difficult position during my divorce. her understanding of the position and making me see this from a different point of view helped me defend my position....  along with a defence it placed me in a driving position and saved me a lot of money. The end result was justice and I will be forever grateful.

Dale Heathcote



Beyond the direct legal work they were extremely knowledgeable and creative in coordinating with other service providers when required, which was key in securing a fair financial result and, more importantly, maintaining my...  parental relationship with my young children during the divorce proceedings and beyond. Throughout the whole process they never lost sight of the best long term outcome, whilst always staying on top of procedure and providing flawless execution. I highly recommended them!
