Garrison Lawyers

At Garrison Lawyers, family law is regarded not merely as a profession, but as a vocation. Our approach is grounded in empathy and respect, recognising the profound impact family law matters have on individuals and their loved ones. With over two decades of experience, our lawyers provide clear, honest, and practical advice tailored to your unique circumstances, ensuring you are supported every step of the way. Our firm operates offices in Wollongong, Parramatta, and Sydney CBD, serving clients across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, and surrounding areas. We handle a broad range of family law matters, including parenting arrangements, property settlements, divorce, and mediation with care and professionalism. When it comes to children, we understand the emotional challenges involved in determining living arrangements and time spent with each parent. We strongly encourage mediation or negotiated agreements to minimise the impact on children. Should court proceedings be necessary, our team will advocate vigorously for outcomes that prioritise the best interests of your children, particularly in complex cases involving family violence or controlling behaviour. In property matters, we assist with the division of assets such as homes, businesses, superannuation, and shares. Our advice focuses on practical and cost-effective strategies to resolve disputes amicably where possible, or to present a strong case in court when required. Our solicitors are experienced Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners, skilled in mediation—a confidential and non-legal process that fosters open communication and can expedite resolution while maintaining your control over the outcome. Mediation is a compulsory step before parenting matters can proceed to court, and we ensure you are thoroughly prepared to make the most of this process. Separately from property and parenting issues, we provide guidance on divorce proceedings. We assist clients in meeting the necessary legal requirements, including demonstrating the irretrievable breakdown of marriage, so that this formal legal step is completed with clarity and confidence. Beyond family law, Garrison Lawyers offers expertise in wills, estates, trusts, powers of attorney, probate, and related matters. We draft wills that reflect your wishes accurately and handle estate administration, including family provision applications and challenging wills. Our team also advises on trusts and deeds tailored to succession planning, asset protection, and business arrangements. Establishing a power of attorney is another key service, safeguarding your interests should you lose mental capacity due to illness, injury, or other circumstances. Our integrated legal team, supported by experienced barristers, is dedicated to providing you with considered advice and effective advocacy. Whether navigating family law challenges or planning your estate, we are committed to delivering legal solutions with compassion, integrity, and professionalism.
