Spencer Family Law & Mediation

**Sorry, We do not provide Legal Aid, community legal or free legal services. Thank you for understanding** We pride ourselves on our reputation of "not being like other lawyers". So much so, that our description of ourselves can be expressed in both formally in "Corporate speak" and also plain language (which is what we prefer). Plain Language We are a team of very experienced lawyers who share the same view on how to operate. Be fair, be firm, and get our clients out of the system as efficiently as possible. The efficiency we offer comes from decades of experience that can see clearly in situations that others might find complicated and time consuming to manage. We all know the story of the tradesman with the hammer who fixes a complex problem with a single well targeted tap with his hammer, and we resemble that same story within our profession. As people, we are far more aligned with normal people than the stereotype our clients expect. If you want a legal team that uses complicated words to make themselves seem elite and extraordinary, then there are firms more suited to your matter than we are. We operate with honesty, transparency and confidence and to put on an overpriced suit and drive a pretentious car to "look like a lawyer" is not how we roll. We are known for being fantastic and practical family lawyers who saved people from more conflict than was necessary by giving our clients clear and easily understood advice (especially when things are very complicated). Jenni is also a qualified mediator (which is a different role to being a lawyer) and can do self represented mediations as well as mediations with lawyers present. We offer a free initial appointment to help you interview us and decide if we are the right team to represent you, while giving advice on the steps forward in your position. For property settlement matters we have funding options (at the lenders discretion, not ours). Corporate At Spencer Family Law & Mediation, we are committed to delivering compassionate and tailored legal solutions that address the unique circumstances of each client. With a client-centred approach, our firm prides itself on providing empathetic and effective services across the spectrum of family law. Our expertise includes handling divorce and separation proceedings, facilitating property settlements, establishing parenting arrangements, and addressing issues related to domestic violence. Additionally, we assist in drafting binding financial agreements, such as pre-nuptial agreements, to safeguard your interests. Our Principal, a qualified Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, excels in mediation to encourage constructive dialogue and amicable resolutions. We understand the emotional complexities of family disputes and are dedicated to achieving efficient, cost-effective outcomes that minimise stress and financial burdens. Prioritising mediation allows us to help clients avoid unnecessary litigation, working towards solutions that are mutually agreeable and sustainable. Separation is a challenging journey, often compounded by the potential for contentious legal battles. Here at Spencer Family Law & Mediation, we strive to ease these challenges by offering thoughtful and strategic legal counsel. We care deeply about the well-being of our clients and diligently work to uphold their legal rights, paving the way for a brighter future. Choose our firm to partner with a team that genuinely cares for your needs, guiding you through the legal process with both understanding and expertise.
