Some of the benefits of working with VM Family Law:
It's critical to have a group of people with various backgrounds assisting you and offering support. That's why we work closely with other domestic violence organisations and lawyers to ensure that your requirements are met in the most client-focused and cost-effective way possible.
For some of our services, you may negotiate fixed fees that provide you with up-front information and control over what you will pay.
You may communicate with us at our office, by phone, or via web conference. We realise that safety may be a concern, and we can cater to any situation.
When a relationship goes sour and violence becomes part of life, you must turn to your friends. We are simply that - a friend to contact for aid in a crisis. However, we are a friend with extensive knowledge of family law, and the experience to help your situation.
Kath Manby, our principal lawyer, has successfully completed many intensive study programs focused specifically on family law, which have provided her with significant expertise and abilities in this field.
If you want someone to fight for your rights, you'll want them to be knowledgeable about the legal system and the laws that apply to your situation. We only work on family law and domestic violence cases, allowing us to stay continuously updated on the system.

Domestic violence and the breakdown of a relationship are extremely troubling experiences. It is difficult to cope with these situations mentally, emotionally and physically. A family law specialist can help ease the burden that you are experiencing. When you hire a lawyer, you are hiring someone to handle the complicated legal process on your behalf. This saves you from having to do things such as applications, form filing and appearing before the court.
By choosing to hire a family law specialist over a generalist lawyer, you might see several benefits. A specialist will likely have more expertise and experience in family law and is more likely to deliver the results that you desire. But a family law specialist might also save you money and time by managing the legal process efficiently.
At VM Family Law, our collaborative team of Brisbane family lawyers wants to help you achieve the best possible outcome, whilst minimising the strain and stress of the process. But we are more than just a specialist family law firm. We are your friend in times of need. Our team of female lawyers is here to support you in our office, over the phone or online.
Every person is different in their needs. If you are considering engaging a family law firm, consider their area of expertise, experience, costs, location and availability. But also think about how you would like to interact with you solicitor and degree of attention that you expect from them.
At VM Family Law, our firm specialises solely in family law and domestic violence issues. We are extremely experienced in these matters and our solicitors collaborate to focus on delivering outcomes. However, we also believe in a casual, caring and considerate approach when interacting with our clients. You are more than just a customer; you are a friend.
Some family law firms track how long they spend on your particular matter and charge based on an hourly basis.

We want you to know exactly what services we are providing and how much we charge for those services. By charging a fixed fee, we help our clients to avoid any nasty surprises at the end of their family law matter.
