Collaborative Law is a rising development in resolving Family Law disputes and it aims to keep property and parenting disputes out of the Family Law Courts by encouraging clients and their lawyers work together to achieve resolution.
Tom Reeve and Nevine Youssef of Marsdens Law Group are Accredited Family Law Specialists who have formed an association with other Accredited Specialists in Family Law in the Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly areas. Together, this association can offer its clients an alternative way to resolve their family law disputes.
The first step for all parties (the two clients and their solicitors) is to sign a "Participation Agreement." This Agreement forms a promise that the lawyers will not take the matter to court.
This approach to Family Law dispute resolution focuses on solutions that satisfy the needs of both parties in an informal and friendly atmosphere where delay, litigation and high court costs are non-existent.
If you think that Collaborative Law is the right solution for your family law issues, please contact Tom Reeve at treeve@marsdens.net.au or Nevine Youssef at nyoussef@marsdens.net.au.
"Nevine was prompt and had every detail at hand when it was time to attend court. Nevine gave me honest advice and in NO way did Nevine proceed to make my matter drag on. I am so grateful for this because all the advice I got from people in similar situations was that 'solicitors are only there to make money for themselves.' In my experience this was far from the truth from Nevine & the whole Family Law Team."
"On a personal note, you and your staff have done an outstanding job. You made the process very easy, cannot fault you in anyway and yes you do come highly recommended by me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anybody else. No doubt I will talk to you sometime in the future."
"I was in good hands where Tom had case strategies and counselling advice to assist me make sensible decisions that benefited me in the long term which is important amidst short term emotion"
"Nevine was spot on. Whilst the result was not in my favour, Nevine explained this from day one. Nevine made this experience easy to deal with and is one of the best solicitors I have had dealings with.Thank you".
