What People Say About Us

“I was recommended Calverley Johnston, by another solicitor when I was in need of a family lawyer. I first met with the principal, Melissa and found her to be very approachable, knowledgeable and sympathetic to my situation. I felt at ease and that she would be looking after my best interests. I also dealt with Raechel and found her to be excellent. I was very impressed with her level of preparation of my case, to assist Counsel with resolving my matter. If you are in need of a family lawyer, I would not hesitate to recommend Melissa, Raechel and the Calverley Johnston team.”

B.P

“Highly recommend this firm. I dealt primarily with Melissa, she always went above and beyond, very patient and understanding. At times when she was away, I would be notified and her associates were always brought up to date with my case and able to help me with any queries. Going through the family court system is one of the hardest experiences I have had to endure and I appreciate I had Melissa there, guiding me along the way. She made the experience as bearable as humanly possible. Have no hesitation to recommend Melissa and her colleagues to anyone looking for advice and/or representation.”

N.J

“I had been to a few lawyers before I came here. Natalija was very professional, very punctual and very patient with me as when it comes to my child’s safety things can get heated as anyone new to this situation will tell you. She itemised every expense, was always in touch before hearings and informed me of any time she would be unavailable which her colleague would then cover. I considered my case extremely messy and was glad to have someone of her character representing me.”

S.K

“Melissa, Natalie and the team at Calverley Johnston were very helpful in handling my family law matter. They were always professional, courteous, and pragmatic dealing with the matters to hand. I have no hesitation in recommending their family law services.”
