Our approach is to negotiate where possible, parenting plans and consent orders reached without litigation are faster, cheaper and easier to live with long-term. Where safety is the issue, we treat AVO applications and domestic violence matters with the urgency they deserve. Under the Family Law Act 1975, the best interests of the child are the court’s primary consideration, we make sure your matter reflects that from the start.

EXCELLENT Based on 102 reviews Posted on Tony VenningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a Google search for legal help, I found Timothy Lee through JB Solicitors. Timothy provided me with the most excellent assistance and advice with my dubious legal confrontations. Timothy is a very respectable, admirable, and highly professional person, and after serving the legal systems of many countries, he has significant legal capacity. I strongly recommend Timothy if you ever need legal help. He is a very down to earth and pleasant character. Thanks for your work Timothy, keep it up! You were my best friend for a while there! And that is saying something!Posted on Renata PomenteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Timothy Lee was delightful to work with through a parenting order matter: tenacious, persistent, and consistently professional through a long and arduous process.Posted on KarinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JB Solicitors was referred to us by our Buyer's Agent. My husband and I worked closely with James Nelson who helped us purchase our first investment property. He's always kind and patient to attend to our needs and answer our questions. He was quick to review documents and provide updates. It was a smooth transaction from start to finish. We highly recommend JB Solicitors and we'd be more than happy to reach out to them should we have the chance to purchase another property.Posted on Jeff LaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

For Leo’s team. We have utilised JB for advice in regards to sensitive matters and have also referred many family and friends on different occasions. If you have any questions they are always quick to respond and never makes you feel like a bother! Would definitely recommend.Posted on Vince GilmoreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anyone who's ever had to go through the process of sorting out a loved ones estate, whether it be guardianship, powers of attorney, a will or all of the above will understand how stressful it can be. I'm extremely thankful for finding JB Solicitors, from the initial phone call with Adam I was put at ease as he carefully explained what I needed to do and how much it was likely to cost, I was then referred to Joshua who went above and beyond to work with me and ensure myself and my father not only understood but were comfortable with all of the documentation that needed to be filled out, not only that but he met me at the location of my choosing, was punctual and catered to the timeline I needed to follow. Within a week we had everything sorted, I can tell you that the money was well worth it, especially as I was going in without any real idea of what needed to happen. I couldn't rate Joshua, Adam and the rest of the team at JB Solicitors highly enough for how easy they made everything and how compassionate they were towards the situation. I recommend JB Solicitors to anyone facing the daunting task of a loved ones estate and/or any other legal matters. Cheers guys!
