Client Reviews

This is what our clients say about us
★★★★★
"Kerstin was both professional and empathic, listening with an attentive ear, discussing my concerns patiently with me, and allaying many a fear. Kerstin explained processes, options and terminology clearly. Kerstin’s decades of experience, her kind approach, and dedication allowed me to trust in my personal journey through the court system. She understood exceptionally well the process of Family court proceedings and kept me well on track throughout an extended legal case. I have no hesitation in recommending Kerstin and would certainly return to her expertise if needed in the future."
Rachel P, client
★★★★★
"Kerstin and her team went above and beyond to achieve the best outcome for my family. Kerstin has incredibly sound knowledge of family law, she is child-focused and fights for the best interest of the child, she is supportive and encouraging. Family court is a difficult process but it was made so much easier by knowing that I had Kerstin in my corner and that she dedicated 110% to my cause. She truly cared about myself and my son and what was best for us both."
Louise G, client
★★★★★
"I had the impression that lawyers were cutthroat and heartless but Kerstin at Smart Choice was compassionate, thorough and unflinchingly principled. She understands Australian law and was able to explain the details clearly and follow all issues through until resolved. Thank you"
