I recently had a few consults with Harpreet Bawa. I consulted Harpreet after an extremely unsatisfactory experience with Unified Lawyers. Sadly, my representation by one of the team at Unified Lawyers, confirmed the negative stereotype, that lawyers only care about money and have no qualms fleecing even the more financially vulnerable. In stark contrast, my experience with Harpreet and Justice Family Lawyers, has renewed my faith in the legal profession. In my opinion, Harpreet is very knowledgeable in legal matters and was also really patient and articulate, in explaining processes, in detail, to a layman (such as myself). But more importantly, Harpreet has clearly managed to maintain his integrity in a field, in which (I am told) it is quite difficult to do so.
I want to sincerely thank Justice Family Lawyers for their professionalism, support, and guidance during this challenging time in my life. From the very beginning, the team provided clear legal advice, helping me navigate a complex situation with confidence. Their responsiveness and attention to detail ensured that I fully understood my options, and their expertise gave me peace of mind throughout the process.
I truly appreciate their dedication and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. The level of care and professionalism they demonstrated exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend Justice Family Lawyers to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate legal assistance.

Excellent service, very understanding and knowledgeable.
Julianne helped my partner with a criminal matter at the last minute, without any hesitation. Her clear advice was invaluable during a time when we felt lost and unsure of what to do. Even after the case was resolved, she took the time to check in on us, which meant so much. If you're looking for a lawyer who not only gets the job done but also shows genuine care and empathy, I highly recommend Justice Family Lawyers.
Julianne and Monique from Justice Family Lawyers worked on my case for over two years, and they truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend them more. The entire firm, including Hayder, was incredibly understanding throughout the process, which made a difficult situation easier to handle.
I worked with Hayder and his team on my legal matter, and I was impressed by their professionalism and attentiveness. They truly listened to my concerns and understood exactly what I needed. I highly recommend their services.
Prompt service, knowledgeable. Happy to assist in legal matter.
I did not know of this service. I made contact with them and they were both prompt and accurate with their advice. I really appreciated their guidance in what for my family, is a tragic situation.
Friendly and very helpful.

Very prompt, knowledgeable & helpful. A pleasure to speak with.
Justice Family Law was prompt and efficiently answered my questions during my initial enquiry providing me with confidence to participate in a 10 min complementary appointment with a solicitor on the same day. Following this appointment I happy with JFL enough to begin proceedings.
Expertise, clarity and professionalism when needed. Appreciated and Valued.
I actually missed the called as I had stepped away from my phone for a minute and when it rang (2 rings) I couldn’t get to it in time to pick it up. And they never called me back.

Julianne provided her best efforts to solve my case. The process went smooth and we resolved the case promptly. She is professional and highly empathetic. The way she listens, interact and interpret the subject took all my stress down to minimum. Highly recommend Julianne .
I received excellent legal representation. Juliana's and Monique's professionalism is remarkable, along with their knowledge and execution of the law. With this being, not only a very difficult situation, but it was also an extremely sensitive and emotional time in my life and Monique handled this case from beginning to end with what I would consider perfection in every aspect.
Highly recommend !! 🤗🤗😊
Thanks, J Yousef

Excellent service, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
Justice family Lawyers are a professional and very knowledgeable law firm with a great understanding of family law, my particular case was very difficult as both sides had completely different views on what was fair and reasonable and we had been trying to negotiate a deal for over 2 years before I engaged JFL to assist, Laila was the lawyer appointed to my case, actually basket case would be a better description. Laila put in the effort to get to know me and my position, set out a strategy to achieve a result with the best outcome for me at the least legal costs possible, her determination and focus on this goal was the reason it was achieved. I never once felt I was not being kept up to date, i was always treated with respect in a courteous manner and Laila made sure I had a full understanding of all the correspondence between the two parties, she created a environment where I felt completely comfortable asking any questions I had or providing her with sensitive information to assist her understanding and to strengthen our case I can highly recommend JFL and in particular Laila, she is an excellent lawyer that acted with integrity and professionalism at all times, in my opinion she is a credit to her profession and I still don’t know how she managed to get the result she did, however if you are in need of a family law legal person to represent you, you couldn’t go past this firm, my only regret is that I didn’t engage JFL from day one of my separation, it would of saved a lot of frustration and time.

Awesome very helpful
Ananya Singh was fantastic, she handled my case in great time was very professional in her approach to all matters and very easy to talk to when discussing my case. I cant thank you enough for your hard work Ananya I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with Family Law. Thanks again Ananya and the superb effort you put in and the team at Justice.
Great service
Although this firm was in Sydney, they still took the time to assist with my questions and even gave me their partnered firms in the QLD area. I would highly recommend due to the attention to detail, the free 10 minute consult which is so useful and even a sense of being heard throughout the conversation which detailed and highlighted the important factors raised during the call.
Thanks for letting me show my appreciation. Your lawyers and staff were very helpful and explained everything I needed to know. If ever anyone askes me to recommend a law firm your name would be the first. It was a pity that the law will not let anyone look at a will before it is granted, even if it is a relative. However I was happy with all the information you gave me. Your firm does not worry about time or fees only about the client. Thank you again for your help. Allan Glazier.
Second time using JFL for a different type of matter. In short we received excellent service, both in terms of knowledge, promptness and professionalism. Thanks Helen, Hayder and team for another top class job. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend their services. They consistently devoted time to listen to me and provided detailed explanations of my case at every stage, even after our final victory. Hayder's genuine care extended beyond the case itself; he approached it with an exceptionally professional yet personable manner, always striving for the best outcomes for his clients.

We have sought Justice Family Laywers guidance on sensitive matters and have consistently recommended them to various family and friends on separate occasions. We wholeheartedly recommend their services.
Highly recommend! Best in the industry
Very good 💯💯💯
Justice Family Lawyers, particularly Julianne Lim, have to be hands down some of the best people of come across in the industry.
This time I’ve had in court has been stressful at times but Julianne has gone above and beyond to assist. She never pushes you to make decisions that don’t sit well with you. Always strives to do her best as if she was representing a case for herself and is the nicest and most caring solicitor.
I thank God that I had found JFL.
Thank you to the team at JFL again. I appreciate everything you have done so far and will always recommend you.
JFL were awesome! Went above and beyond and were easily contactable. They were easy to talk to and made a stressful time a lot easier. Thank you to the team and our representative Julianne Lim
I had the pleasure of engaging with this firm. They were very thorough and helped me through every step. Very good advice given.
Just want to say how professional, and highly empathetic the team were when handling my case. They were very honest and transparent about what to expect, followed up diligently and thoroughly whenever I needed a-bit more and were great in giving me the right advice throughout the process.
I have been a client of Ananya Singh from Justice Family Lawyers for the last 2 years as I was trying to gain fair and substantial time with my boys. I can not recommend Ananya highly enough. Her level of care and compassion she showed us during the most difficult time in my life was second to none. Her advice was always truthful and honest and she always treated my situation with genuine care. Thank you Ananya for helping and guiding me to successfully gain time with my boys, and outside of court too which was a bonus!
I have used a Justice Family Lawyer for my personal matter for last 12 months. All my matter has been finalised with good results. Special thanks to Ananya Singh who is a very responsible, professional and outstanding solicitor I have ever met.
Very kind, understanding, and helpful staff member who helped at a highly emotive and challenging time.
Thank you, and I will recommend your business and service to others.

I just want to say thank you to Julianne Lim. From the first phone call, I was well informed and treated with respect.

I am so happy I trusted Julianne's legal advice as it ultimately led to an outcome that was so much better than I had hoped for. Julianne is an amazing lawyer! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer for family law matters.
