Private Law Children

Private law applications require a particular skill set, often emotions and ill feeling are running so high that the real issues are lost. Stripping through emotion to identify what is genuinely in the children’s interests is essential, but often forgotten.  Greg endeavours to inject some common sense, to focus on the real issues and achieve outcomes which genuinely benefit the children’s welfare.

Good representation involves identifying the issues, applying the law, providing sensible advice no matter how unpalatable, and eloquent representation both in negotiations and in Court; that is Greg’s approach.
