I've been fortunate enough to have front row seats to the #1 family lawyer in the state! I now know why you are so highly regarded within the legal community! Your support, honesty and dedication towards mums like me is appreciate more than you'll ever know. Thank you for all that you've done.
I am continually amazed at the quality of work which you produce and how clever you are at communicating and articulating a position. You are both very good at what you do and I can’t believe you have other matters as well as mine which you have to be equally across – it is pretty amazing.
I have been very lucky to have all your support and guidance through what has been a very difficult time in my life…I would never wish my experience on anyone, however would highly recommend the professional services and expertise which you provide.  Again I thank you all very much for your help and allowing me to progress with what I hope to be the happiest chapter of my life.
I wanted to write to you personally, that whilst my matter is not yet finalized it is very close to being so, my experience working with Fiona Caulley has been nothing short of brilliant. Her subject matter expertise and knowledge of the law has proven invaluable to me during this very trying circumstance. This balanced by her sound advice and level head has meant that we have managed to get to the most desirable outcome.

I want to take the opportunity to thank you for your help, support and giving me the knowledge to cope and plan with the situation I was presented.
Thank you so much Fiona, Anna and the whole team. You guys have been and are incredible! We cannot begin to describe how important your work is to us, and what it means to the children to have a safe and stable future here in Australia. You’re all angels. D & N
Thank you Fiona, what a journey it has been. It was nice to end it with a little win - I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for all of the hard work and dedication you put into my case. Your professionalism, understanding and support made a difficult time in my life so much easier. Your Associate, Elise was brilliant and a reflection of your mentorship. Thank you again for all your hard work and support, I will definitely recommend Phillips Family law to anyone in need of family law services.
To say I am happy and relieved is an understatement. I am now really for the first time in almost four years now able to take a breath and start really healing from everything that has happened, feeling safe and secure in my own home with my children. None of this would have been made possible without you. Your advice and support, patience and empathy, have been just invaluable. When I reflect back on our first conversation in 2020, I had no idea if what I wanted to achieve would ever be possible and I was absolutely terrified about what the future held. But with your guidance, we have made what felt like the impossible possible! I still can't quite believe it! Thank you Fiona, for everything. My gratitude to you is endless. Thank you for listening and mopping up my tears and making me feel safe with you. And to you team, Chanarn particularly, for all their amazing support and assistance too.
