Transitional Legal is a specialized law firm dedicated to guiding clients through complex family law, criminal, and domestic violence matters during life's most challenging transitions. Founded by Roger Poed, the firm's philosophy centers on providing strategic advocacy and compassionate representation to help individuals move from crisis to stability with dignity. The firm distinguishes itself as "no ordinary family lawyers," positioning themselves as courtroom advocates who are strategic, relentless, and deeply human in their approach to legal representation.
Transitional Legal specializes in navigating the most complex and emotionally charged legal matters, particularly those involving serious allegations and significant risk factors to children. The firm's unique value proposition lies in their deep understanding of high-conflict family dynamics, including narcissism and parental alienation cases. Their mission extends beyond legal resolution to helping clients transition to stable single and co-parenting arrangements. With a founding philosophy that recognizes legal support should be "as human as it is strategic," the firm combines fearless courtroom advocacy with genuine client care. Their expertise in specialized court lists (Magellan, Evatt, and Critical Incident) demonstrates their capability to handle the most serious and complex family law matters in Australia.
Roger Poed serves as the Legal Practitioner-Director and Principal Solicitor of Transitional Legal. He holds a Master of Laws from the College of Law and a Bachelor of Criminology, bringing both advanced legal education and criminological insight to his practice. As an Accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, Roger combines mediation skills with strategic courtroom advocacy. His areas of expertise encompass complex family law, domestic violence matters, and high-conflict cases. Beyond his legal practice, Roger demonstrates leadership in firm management while maintaining a focus on strategic advocacy and personalized client care.
Transitional Legal operates on a fee-for-service basis typical of specialized family law practices. Given the complexity of their cases—including Magellan List matters, recovery orders, and high-conflict family law—fees reflect the intensive advocacy and strategic planning required. The firm offers initial consultations to assess case complexity and provide transparent fee estimates. Payment arrangements are discussed during the initial consultation, with consideration given to the urgent nature of many family law matters they handle.
Transitional Legal maintains two office locations in Queensland, Australia. The main office is situated at Level 18, 324 Queen Street, Brisbane QLD 4000, providing convenient access in Brisbane's central business district. A branch office operates at Unit 2/20 Welch Street, Southport QLD 4125, serving clients in the Gold Coast region. The firm can be reached at (07) 3505 3906 or +61 431 234 250, with email inquiries directed to admin@transitionallegal.com.au. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.

I was referred to Roger at Transitional Legal with my unusual and complicated case stuck in Family Court. The case is moving now, and I'm back in contact with my kids. I have consulted and used other lawyers over a long period, and Roger and the team at Transitional Legal are the best. Strongly recommended.
Very happy with Roger! I was told my matter was complex and would cost more than $60000 by one firm and over $80000 by another firm. My friend told me to see Roger and he settled the entire matter by consent for less than $4000 in 8 weeks. Yeah you could say I'm damn happy with Roger, he saved me a fortune
Got dropped as a pro bono client
Highly recommend, very thorough with their approach, excellent communication and support, cannot recommend them enough, Roger, Corey and Louise have been amazing, words can't describe how great their dedication and work is. Thankyou for all of your hard work can't thank you all enough.
I was referred to Roger during a time of uncertainty and anxiety regarding family legal matters. From the moment I met him, Roger exuded professionalism and empathy, instantly putting me at ease. His calm demeanor and clear communication helped me navigate through complex legal issues with confidence.
Roger took the time to understand my situation, listening attentively to my concerns and priorities. He provided guidance, ensuring that I understood all my options and the potential outcomes. What stood out to me was Roger’s genuine commitment to achieving a resolution that aligned with my goals.
Throughout the process, Roger was a steadfast advocate, always keeping my best interests at the forefront. His expertise and dedication were instrumental in reaching a positive outcome for my family law matter.
I highly recommend Roger to anyone in need of a family lawyer. With his expertise and support, you can trust that you are in good hands, and he will work tirelessly to achieve favorable outcomes. Thank you, Roger, for your exceptional service and unwavering support.
I was recommended Roger by a family member to help resolve a family dispute situation and he was AMAZING! He made the whole process stress free as well as financially appropriate. He handled everything professionally and was so understanding of the situation. He replies to any questions or concerns by either email or text message in a short timeframe so I never had to wait too long for him to get back to me! He was very caring and strived to do what was best for my child in the dispute and that is all I asked! I couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Roger for everything!
I was recommended to Roger by a friend when I was frustrated with my current escalating situation from false DV allegations. I didn’t understand what and why this was happening to me and why the other person wasn’t held accountable for their actions. Roger took charge of the situation when I contacted him after months of being lost and defeated. He calmed it down, made me feel comfortable and got me in the right direction as I began to understand the minefield there is around family and DV law.
I couldn’t ask for anything more from Roger. I feel he has brought my case to an equal playing field where my children and I are now being heard. He takes immediate action when situations arise and is always on top of everything. I wouldn’t have anyone else by my side going through this process and I would recommend Roger to anyone who feels stuck and needs legal representation.
Roger and his team were incredible, for anyone seeking advice on separation matters I can't recommend them enough.

Roger was great to work with, knows his stuff very well and remained sensitive, supportive and kind throughout. I highly recommend Roger and his fantastic team.
When I came to Roger it was on referral and I was in distress. Roger kept every promise he made and got me more time with my daughter than people thought likely at this point.
Every time I've contacted Roger it has been responded to in a timely matter and met with compassion. I have been lucky to have him in my corner 💪
I first met Roger after a great deal of frustration with other Solictors over charging me and not progressing or understanding my matter.
I found Roger took an immediate interest in my case and really understood where I had been, and what I wanted to realistically achieve.
He can see the emotion involved and takes the time to communicate effectively and put my mind at ease.
I have already recommended Roger to a number of work colleagues and friends and thank him for seeing the truth in my matter.
