Associate Solicitor, Nel Roberts, has received an outstanding ReviewSolicitors review from a client this week, demonstrating her unique ability to provide excellent client care, whilst delivering high quality legal advice.

“I cannot thank Nel and the team at Grant Stephens Family Law enough for the support they’ve given me throughout my divorce over the past year. It has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time, and their guidance, expertise, patience, and professionalism have made all the difference. Nel not only advised me expertly on every legal aspect, with her and the team being extremely responsive and skilled, but also consistently supported my wellbeing and advocated for both me and my son from a welfare perspective. I’ve always felt genuinely supported and well‑advised at every stage. The whole team has been extremely communicative, available, thorough, and truly invested in helping me move forward. I’m deeply grateful for everything they’ve done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing family law support. Without Nel and the team, I would not be moving into a new home, with a fair settlement and agreements that above all, work in the best interest of my young son.”

Well done Nel Roberts
