Who are we

The Family Lawyers - Who are we?

We are a part of McCowans Specialist Lawyers a law firm that practices in only three areas of law: Personal Injuries Compensation Claims, Deceased Estates Administration and Will Disputes and Family and Relationships Law.

Our Family Law team is headed by Suzanne Harrison who:

  • Has practised exclusively in Family Law for more than 25 years;
  • Is an accredited Family Law Specialist;
  • Is a regular presenter and lecturer in Family Law at Bond University;
  • Is a trained mediator; and
  • Is a life member of the Queensland Collaborative Law Association.

We offer the following service promise to every client we represent:

  • We will provide complete fee transparency so you can have as much certainty as the Family Law process will allow as to what our services will cost. Wherever possible we will work with you to scope the work you want us to do and then fix a price with you in advance for us to do that work for you. See our What will this Cost Me page for further details;
  • We will attempt to resolve every matter in which we are instructed as quickly and cost effectively as is possible;
  • We will explore every settlement avenue possible before committing you to the expense and stress of court litigation; If Court proceedings are necessary we will vigorously pursue your interests.

If you’re recently separated, or are contemplating separation from your partner or spouse, obtaining the right legal advice as early as possible is critical.

As well as perusing the information on this website, you may benefit from a confidential consultation with a McCowans family law specialist.

We’ll examine your personal situation and the issues that you’re facing and provide advice on what may work best for your situation, the next steps you ought to take and provide a complete estimate of your legal costs as well. Calling us could well be the most important thing you do to minimise the trauma and expense of separation.
