Why we recommend mediation as a first step
In family law matters, mediation can be a great place to start. Mediation creates a lower-pressure environment where two parties are encouraged to come to an agreement that is fair and mutually beneficial. This path is typically less emotionally taxing on both parties, prioritises any children involved, and can be more cost-effective than involving the court.
When successful, mediation can lead to a quicker resolution and, in a lot of cases, preserve family relationships through open and productive communication.

What our clients say
A very big thank you to Janelle and Porscha who provided a professional service which was worth every cent.
Our matter has now been finalised and I owe a very big thank you to Janelle and Porscha who provided a professional service which was worth every cent. Seriously, if you want someone in your corner with the experience and courage to fight for you all the way, you cannot go past JMR Lawyers.
I cannot thank Janelle, Tiarna and the team more. I will appreciate what you did for a long time to come.
I found Janelle and Tiarna to be incredibly supportive, and acted with clarity, super responsive, and genuinely listened, then advised. My most valued part was that Janelle was absolutely clear around what to expect, and how to navigate everything. She didnt sugar coat anything, and told it how it was. That set me up to be confident working through the process. Extremely grateful for that part especially. The fees were completely acceptable and I loved their clear communication on expected costs, but were also helpful in navigating small extensions where needed.
Professionalism, expertise, and experience in addition to strategic thinking are invaluable.
I would highly recommend JMR Lawyers & Mediators to anyone seeking legal representation. Their professionalism, expertise, and experience in addition to strategic thinking are invaluable in helping navigate through any situation.
