I can highly recommend the team at RedHill Legal for your representation within family law court matters. All the staff at the firm, particularly Zina, have guided us through what has been a trying and difficult process. The team did not just explain the process to us, but helped our family through the difficult time with empathy and kindness. Nothing was too much effort for the staff at the firm and we now have an order granted that has allowed us to move forward with our lives. Thank you.

A very positive outcome was achieved after I was represented by Sue Westall and the team at Red Hill Legal for the past 18 months. I felt guided through what was a difficult period in my life separating from a very toxic situation with my ex-husband. My circumstances were complex and required an enormous amount of preparatory work for Sue. While Sue is personable and communicative, she is efficient and returns calls promptly. Sue instills confidence and is professional, knowledgeable and very experienced. I was able to work together with Sue to achieve the best and safest outcome for both my children and myself. This included navigating interim orders, recovery orders, working towards final agreement for custody orders and financial separation for property. I believe Sue Westall and Barrister Dianne Pendergast to be at the top of their field. I shall be forever grateful for their tireless dedication to achieving what was best for me and my children. I would highly recommend them as simply the best Family Law specialists around.
