Reviews
"Excellent firm to deal with, would definitely recommend. Dealings were prompt, professional, friendly, responsive and most importantly, they delivered. From a client-care perspective , they showed thorough care and detailed attention throughout the process (both from a legal context and client mindset perspective) and essentially walked with you in your shoes until matters were resolved."
"I would like to say a huge thank you to Alisha, Tom and the rest of the team at Coote Family Lwyers. They were extremely professional, explained things clearly and concisely and also empathetic to me whilst I went through this difficult period. Thank you so much Coote Family Lawyers, I highly recommend your service."
"In the midst of uncertainty and the challenges of my newfound role as a single father...Gary Yan...Emmy Langmaid...and the other exceptional team at Coote Family Lawyers became my legal beacon of light. Their unwavering support and compassionate approach transformed a daunting journey into a path filled with warmth and hope. I’m compelled to single out Emmy Langmaid...for her exceptional expertise and dedication which were evident from the start. With her profound knowledge of family law and genuine care for my well-being...she provided unwavering support as I navigated my financial separation. Her guidance reassured me that I was not alone on this journey...offering a steady hand and a compassionate voice during moments of doubt...she even managed to laughed at some of my dad jokes. I will forever be grateful to Emmy Langmaid...Gary Yan at Coote Family Lawyers...I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking compassionate and skilled legal representation in family matters. Even fathers get to have a voice. Kind regards Terence Langendoen"
"I'm working with Sam on a Family Law matter and very pleased. Sam is approachable, friendly, yet direct and firm. I couldn't be happier. Mary has also been amazing to work with and the rest of the Reception crew. I won't be going anywhere else!"
"The last 18 months was horrific. A small silver lining on amongst it, however, was that I never had to worry about whether I was getting the right legal advice. I was confident at all times that Emmy, and Annelis, were doing their bit immaculately, and all I had to do was worry about the money. Which was no small feat, but if I had to worry about the money and whether they were making mistakes it would have killed me. I went, with Cootes' help, from fighting to see my son at all, to getting 5 nights per week by agreement of the other party. Word from the wise: family law court is abhorrent. But if you've got to do it, Coote's are a good team to have on your side."
