Reviews
"Our family's experience with FGD was a really positive one. Rosie was pleasant, understanding and efficient throughout the multiple emails and phone calls that we made to the office. Our lawyer Tim is an 'out of the box thinker.' Due to his dedication to his work and clients, we received a successful outcome in our matter. Not only is he great at his job as a lawyer, but he is thoughtful, and has a very kind and respectful way of talking to you as a client. When we spoke on the phone or had online meetings, he always listened carefully and seemed to understand our situation. Our experience with Tim, Rosie and the team was fantastic. They're very experienced in what they do and have high eq skills that allows them to talk to you about complex legal issues in simple ways without making you feel like an idiot. I would highly recommend them."
"Thank you all for your professionalism, diligence & prompt responses shown at all times in this matter. It enabled me to deal with it more objectively & as stress-free as it could have been. It has been a pleasure dealing with your firm & I would not hesitate to recommend you for divorce, settlement & any other legal matters."
"Hi my name is Michael Haddad I just wanted to say that the team at FGD FAMILY LAWYERS are very helpful and answered all my questions and took all my instructions to do with my case. :) They are better than the other lawyers than I used with my situation . I recommend anyone that needs a family lawyer to speak to Sarah Keenan or Bianca D'Angelo from the firm and they will suit the right person for your situation from their firm."
"If it were not for Ferrar Gesini Dunn, I’d be a lonely, very sad and financially vulnerable man, approaching retirement.. Five years ago, unexpectedly my life was turned on its head with my partner of 6 years opting to go it alone, taking our 4 young children, including a newly born with her. Just reflecting back on that day, that moment is breathtaking. The anguish and feelings of helplessness and loss was excruciating.. Then thank God, I was referred to Frank Chila of FGD for a chat, to share my sorry story and address my Family Law matter. I was a mess, because for someone who had always been abreast of life, mentally strong and positive, I was reduced to feeling utterly lost, and a victim wallowing in self pity and misery.. So compassionately and efficiently a plan of action was advised and agreed upon, and although an initial attempt to meditate failed, my FGD lawyer would always have plan B hatched before I had a chance to worry.. And despite it being a 5 year legal roller coaster, since that initial chat, the entire team at FGD have been absolutely wonderful, reassuring and supportive allowing me to remain calm, measured and optimistic again, at a time when the entire world was under pandemic duress. In particular, I will remain forever grateful of Ms Eleni Angeletos who rode beside me on the rollercoaster to the Family Law Court, and ultimately judgement day. Her unwavering professionalism and legal expertise combined with her lovely, respectful and empathic manner was truly appreciated. Eleni was firm, focused, confident and strong in her convictions despite my questioning nature and occasional vent. Together with my excellent barrister Mr Jeff Stanley, Eleni prepared me well for court, with their foresight, particularly in regards to the anticipated final outcome, proving to my great relief, accurate and very favourable, despite the complex variables unique to my case. I therefore cannot recommend FGD highly enough as a family law firm, if ever you had the unfortunate need to reach out."
"The team at FGD were just brilliant. Their approach, advice, patience, empathy and understanding during a challenging time was priceless. I would recommend anyone who requires assistance regarding family law use their services. Thank you Frank, Felicity and Team, without your expertise and all the hard work you put in I wouldn’t be in the position I am today. Each of you have made a positive impact on my life. You are all just amazing!"
