Family Law Experts

I wanted to take a moment to specifically thank you for the invaluable tips you shared and your exceptional, kind, and caring phone manner. Your standout qualities truly set you apart from the several lawyers I had contacted. Even though I won't be requiring your assistance for the DVO trial, I want you to know that I will wholeheartedly recommend you to my network. Your support and guidance have been very appreciated during this process, and I am genuinely grateful for your dedication to helping others in their times of need. Thank you once again, Jane, for your outstanding professionalism and compassionate approach. I will certainly keep you in mind for any future legal needs if life ever throws a brick at me again.

I can’t thank Jane/Watson St Claire Family Law enough for the incredible support and guidance she gave me during one of the hardest times of my life. When it all started I felt completely hopeless and defeated. I thought I didn’t have a case at all and believed I wouldn’t see any kind of outcome let alone a fair one after separation. But Jane saw things differently—and more importantly, she made me believe in myself again. Thanks to Jane/Watson St Claire Family Law I was able to secure a property settlement that gave me a fresh start. I now have a home of my own, and I’ve even started a new career. Her encouragement (even though in family law) gave me the confidence to enrol in a course, and I’ve retrained and found a job I’m proud of. I’ll never forget what she did for me. They gave me hope when I thought all was lost, and they changed my life in ways I hadn’t imagined. If you’re feeling lost after separation like I was, Jane is the person to turn to. I’ll be forever grateful.

When I first began the family law process I was scared and didn't know what to do. Jane, the owner of Watson St Claire, believed me and made me feel heard. She was proactive and dedicated in finding a solution that minimised stress and financial costs, and maximised mine and my child's safety. Jane is skilled in family law and domestic violence matters, and sees her clients as people rather than a pay cheque. I always recommend Jane and Watson St Claire to my family and friends

Jane is able to quickly get to the heart of the legal challenge, AND communicate an understanding for the emotional impact associated with it. This is a rare skills combination in most other legal professionals, in our experience. It makes for frank, realistic dialogue, advice and exploration of options, inspiring trust that Jane is not "just another lawyer out to make money off people's misery". Will recommend Jane Guerin as family lawyer every time.

I had a tough time with trying to decide to get a lawyer or not. I tried to get done what I could on my own. I was struggling with Legal terms and if I was being taken advantage of by not having a lawyer. Jane helped me with the parts I did not understand also she helped calm me down and or cheer me up after I got emails from the other parties lawyers saying they were taking me to court for one reason or another. Jane was very understandable and very easy to approach. Without the help of Jane I would have given up and taken whatever deal the other lawyers were throwing at me. I would strongly recommend Jane to anyone.

I immediately felt comfortable, when I approached Jane from Watson St Claire Family Law, in relation to an application for financial consent orders. Jane was quick to get her head around a complex financial structure involving a third party and companies and recommended a proposal. Jane had genuine concern for my situation which was not an easy one to navigate and her calm approach gave me confidence. Thanks Jane, for assisting me in what was a most challenging time. I appreciate all your efforts and have no hesitation in referring you to others needing Family Law assistance.
