Family Law

Family law disputes can be overwhelming and highly emotional. It is often a time of confusion, vulnerability and frustration. At this time you need the right advice to navigate the legal issues as well as insight into the emotional journey that has begun.

At Small Myers Hughes Lawyers, we not only specialise in guiding and advising you through what is complex law but we also take the time to understand your personal circumstances so we can work together to create a strategy aimed to bring about the best solution for you and your family.

Sometimes despite best intentions an amicable outcome is unavailable and, if in these times negotiations cannot be made, then you can be assured we will fight to achieve a favourable outcome.

Principal and Accredited Family Law Specialist, Michael Small, leads our team of proactive and dedicated family lawyers who have assisted numerous clients with their family and relationship matters.
