Searching for the best family lawyer can feel overwhelming while you’re in the midst of separation. At Franklin Family Law, we take the guesswork out of the process, with clear and understandable family law advice from a team of specialist family lawyers. Our focus is always on resolving family law matters through agreement or mediation. We believe that it is best for all parties involved to try and achieve resolution through negotiation first. Our experienced, and affordable, family lawyers can help you with this process. In cases where an agreement is not possible and mediation is either not appropriate or unsuccessful, we are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the court process. Beyond providing you with excellent representation, we can also help you find other caring professionals who can assist you, including accountants, financial advisors, real estate agents, and counsellors. Whether you’re married, a de facto or same sex couple, grandparents, or other carers, we can provide you with cost-effective resolutions for all your family law matters.
