Berry Family Law Melbourne is a legal firm specialising in the practise of family law, relationship law and divorce law. The professional team consists of eight lawyers, three of whom are Accredited Family Law Specialists, and they are supported by a highly skilled and dedicated paralegal support team. Family law is an area of law that deals with real people and real issues; issues that can have an impact on a diverse range of relationship, lifestyle and financial aspects of life. Berry Family Law specialises in the following areas: Property Disputes Parenting Disputes Paternity Disputes Spousal Maintenance Crimes Family Violence Intervention Orders Surrogacy Divorces Financial Agreements Cohabitation Agreements between Defacto and Same Sex Couples Defacto Property Disputes Same Sex Disputes As specialists in relationship disputes, we understand the economic and emotional impact that the ending of a long term relationship can have on people and if they are parents, on their children. We are able to bring a professional edge, while having empathy for our clients and an understanding of the associated stresses of family law issues. We blend this edge with a friendly voice. Our family lawyers work together as a tight professional team to help clients through difficult times. Many firms of lawyers attempt to practise in a number of areas of law, but Berry Family Law has consciously chosen not to do that. We believe that as the law has become more complex, the only way a client can be confident that their lawyer is up to date with the latest changes and practices is for the lawyer to specialise in one area of law, have a proven record of ongoing professional development, and recognition by their peers. Only the best lawyers in their field of expertise become Law Institute Accredited Specialists.
