The Power of Collaboration
Separation & divorce should be an opportunity for two people to move on to new lives. But it can be complex, involving decisions about children, property and money.
A conventional divorce sets one partner against the other and leaves it to the Court to make decisions from a limited range of options. This is usually a stressful, time-consuming, expensive process that can lead to lifelong bitterness & damaged family relationships.
On the other hand, a Collaborative approach to handling family disputes takes your personal circumstances into account. Your dispute is handled between you and your former partner, away from the Court. You are completely in charge of the process from the beginning, so all decisions and outcomes reflect the very personal & unique circumstances of your case. All with much less time, stress and expense. read more

Clients' comments:
"Dear Danielle,
prior to coming to your firm, I was represented by a large firm in Brisbane which had my file for 2 years.
It cost me a lot of money and I got nowhere until your name was given to me by a friend. You settled my matter within a couple of months, for a lot less money. I can now get on with my life.
Thank you."

"Dear Danielle,
Thank you for being my lawyer."
"Danielle,
I'm thankful that you recommended my wife and I settle our differences by way of collaborative law.
My wife and I are still on talking terms."
"We were about to buy our first home and were overwhelmed by the complexity of what we'd started, and all the money we'd committed to borrowing.
We came to see Helen at Danielle's office. She understood how overwhelming the process was for us, and carefully explained how we would go about it. The contract settled easily & smoothly. We'll be coming back!"
First Home buyers
"Barbara really listens and empathises with my matter. She puts me at ease & I know she is doing everything in her power to help me with my situation."
"We tried to settle this matter ourselves, but got nowhere. We're glad you are involved, as things are now settling smoothly."
"While I was negotiating a property Contract, your conveyancing clerk's first response was to contact the seller's solicitors to co-operate with them in drafting some special conditions.
I don't see this very often & it made the formation of the Contract much easier & smoother."

Danielle's team is professional, courteous, efficient & they keep me constantly updated about progress on all my matters.
I actually enjoy calling at their office!"
