Hello, my aunt had a mediation with Creative Family Law and found things with her partner a lot easier afterwards, she was miserable for a long time and thanks very much because I feel I have my old aunt back.

— Christine Clement Relative of Mediation Client

I was very impressed with Sue’s mediation service. She was very thorough and professional. Her intake sessions were very useful and helped her both get across the matter and put my client at ease. I would happily use her services again for another of my family law clients requiring mediation.

— John Spender Family Lawyer

Sue and her team were at all times incredibly professional, with excellent guidance given in a compassionate, balanced and sensitive way. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking mediation.

— Zara Parker Mediation Client

From my first contact with Marcus, he was nothing but attentive, empathetic, organised and nothing was too much trouble. Susan, I found to be very professional, organised and kept things on track during a very stressful, trying mediation process. She also advised what the options would be if we did not come to a resolution. I would not hesitate to recommend CFLS.

— Lesa Smith Mediation Client

I couldn’t speak or recommend Susan highly enough. Susan was caring and understanding of the difficult situation and was able to resolve my divorce in a matter of weeks, compared to 18months with other lawyers. Susan was very professional and I am very grateful for her work and the team at Creative Family Law solutions as I had previously lost faith in the system.

— John Damiano Family Law Client

Susan and the whole team at Creative Family Law Solutions were fantastic to deal with. Susan is an excellent mediator who provides clear structure, guidance and expertise in family law mediations, both in relation to property and parenting related matters.

— Meg Liberatore Family Lawyer

Creative Family Law always care for their clients. Susan and team were very helpful. Antonia and Marcus were always very accommodating and made me very comfortable. They were all very professional and understanding in handling my case and were accommodating, prompt and reassuring throughout the process.

— Ann Jose Family Law Client

The highest of recommendations to Creative Family Law Solutions! After shopping around with many law firms, I can truly say this is the penultimate service. Susan Hamilton-Green was the voice I had been searching for and she represented me exactly as I had expected. It was a huge relief to find the support I so needed I found CFLS to be extremely friendly, warm and cooperative. All staff worked together to make it possible for me to engage their service. Their welcoming manner together with high level of professionalism met my every expectation. Beyond my expectation to be honest.

— Patsy Angely Family Law Client

Sue was an excellent addition to our family resolution. Although I was initially anxious about the process of an independent children’s lawyer and the impact on my children, she allowed my children to have their own voice in court and even offered to help explain the outcome of proceedings afterwards. I am eternally grateful for her support of the children and highly recommend her services.

— Tereza Antonios Independent Children’s Lawyer Client

Susan’s strategy enabled me to cope extremely well at mediation…with the notes and mechanisms Susan had equipped me with, I was able to keep the meeting focused and professional. The better than hoped for outcome would not have been achieved without the excellent coaching and guidance I received from Susan, and I will forever be hugely grateful for what she helped me achieve.
