Our lawyers in Brisbane have convenient access to the Family Law Courts complex
Our Brisbane Office is centrally located in Eight Mile Plains. Located at the Logan Road offramp to the M1 and a few hundred metres from the Gateway motorway, the city, airport, Gold Coast and Ipswich are all in easy reach. It is easily accessible and there is free parking onsite. Public transport is also convenient with the South East Busway close by. For those who wish to avoid the travel we can also offer virtual meeting options, if you prefer to meet from your home or workplace.
Our Brisbane lawyers are a close knit team, who will provide you with personalised service. All our team will know you by name and you will know all of them by name as well.
Our Brisbane lawyers have a wealth of experience resolving difficult and emotional family law matters. Some of the matters they have recently resolved include:
- The successful return of a child to Australia, through Hague Convention proceedings, after a parent removed the child to a Scandinavian country;
- A successful application allowing a parent and child to relocate to a new location in Australia;
- A property settlement case where the client obtained 3 significant Costs Orders following the Trial, resulting in them receiving the majority of the parties’ assets; and
- A property settlement case involving a family business with a multi-million dollar turnover.
Happy clients
I can’t express in words my gratitude and how helpful your information and guidance has been and how much it has calmed my anxiety whilst I try and do my best to prepare all of the court documentation.
Thank you all so much for your continued guidance and support. We couldn’t recommend your firm or yourselves as people enough.

I want to thank you for the way you have managed things for me. I came to you distressed and I found the right person to manage my case. I needed an educated and savvy lawyer with a calm disposition and that is what I got. Your ability to keep me calm but to still be able to strongly advocate for me has been exceptional. We have been largely successful in protecting the children and keeping them out of ‘grown up business’ and that is a huge relief. I think it was the last letter you wrote that shifted the dynamics. Thank you for being a kind and moral man who can assert the law so very well! I truly believe that you and the company you work for, are making a difference. I have had nothing but positive experiences, from my initial phone call, admin staff, students and you! I am regularly working with women in very difficult circumstances and I will not hesitate to refer to New Way Lawyers for legal advice and representation.

Thank you very much. You all are great and empathetic.

I just wanted to say that we appreciate everything you do and taking the time to help those that are so lost.

My matter was a moral one rather than a legal one and I felt fully supported by New Way Lawyers throughout the entire process. I was never led to believe that we would be successful in achieving my desired outcome but I felt it was worth a small investment on my behalf to try. The letter written on my behalf was very persuasive and although we’d given it our best shot I fully expected our appeal to be rejected. Regardless of the outcome I was very grateful for the way my case was handled by New Way Lawyers. You can imagine my delight when I received advice that our appeal had been accepted. I’m very grateful for the assistance Phillipa, Joanne and your company have give me with this matter and I offer you my sincere thanks you for your help. I am very impressed with your business.
