I can highly recommend the services of Jane and her team at McCarthy Family Law. Navigating through the processes involved in family court can be daunting and uncomfortable but Jane and her team did as much as possible to ease the stress of it all. From helping me with applications to keeping in contact throughout the entire process, they couldn't have been more helpful. Definitely worth reaching out to them if you're needing some help yourself.

JD Adams
Words cannot express my appreciation for the support I have received from McCarthy Family Law. My situation has spanned over 1yr in trying to navigate something and all the way I have known I am in safe hands. Thank you Jane.
R McGuire
I can’t recommend Jane from McCarthy Family Law enough. Jane handled my very stressful experience with empathy along with extreme professionalism to achieve an amazing outcome, without her expertise my outcome would have been very different.
J Wallace
Upon meeting Jane, I felt an instant affinity with her, I did not feel I was just another number in the lawyers brief and knew instantly I could trust her directions. Between Jane and her amazing team my situation was drawn to a conclusion and in a strange way I felt a sense of loss that my nurturing within Janes firm was at an end. My heartfelt thanks to Jane and her team for being there for me and I would highly recommend her guidance and professionalism one hundred per cent to anyone who requires a lawyers assistance with empathy.
