Evgeny and his team are fabulous which is high praise indeed when speaking about Lawyers. It is refreshing to find a Lawyer that genuinely cares, gives excellent rates and is available for urgent matters on a weekend or evening. I highly recommend Genuine Lawyers.
I truly appreciate the efforts put in by the Solicitors from Milton office. I was able to book an urgent free consultation on Saturday and they actioned on my matter promptly. They offered me a fixed fee and a no interest payment plan so I could afford the services with no hassle. Would like to give a big thank you to the entire team for their support.
During the most difficult and challenging times I've found the team at Genuine Legal to provide great service and support. Evgeny and Manny along with others in the team have helped navigate a truly frightening process. Highly recommend them.
I must say when I heard about Genuine Legal for the first time, I was a little sceptical. After the initial free meeting, I was confident that my matter was in good hands. I would say that it is the best legal firm in Sydney I came across. Thanks for your help! ;)
Quite Informative Initial consultation - I was given unlimited time to ask questions and got answers to all my questions with reference to the Law articles. Initial consult has given me an understanding of how my concern is legally getting resolved, and different options I could consider.

Thanks Evgeny.You helped me a lot in my complicated and stressful case when no one else wanted to help.Excellent professional advices.
To say Evgeny and his firm at Genuine Legal are excellent is an understatement. My family court case is very complex and at times stressful. Handing it over to the team, in particular Melissa, has been the best decision for me. I highly recommend their professional, supportive and skilled service to anyone requiring an understanding and extremely ethical team.
How amazing. I was in UK- didnt think I could do this but they kept regular communication by e mail and I felt confident throughout. Whats more I was unemployed and their fees were fantastic. They told it all- as it was, no false promises. Much much better than advise I had received in UK. Great company Richard T.

Divorce
Divorce is simply a legal finalisation of a marriage. Divorce matters are determined by Courts and can become complex if the parties were separated under one roof or there are difficulties in location and serving another party with Court documents.
Seeking assistance and legal advice from a family lawyer is strongly advised to guide you through the divorce process and prevent potential difficulties in your divorce proceedings.
We offer fixed fees for our representation in all Divorce matters.
Family Law Parenting Matters
Our lawyers have dealt with a large number of parenting matters including complex cases with family violence and abuse involved.
However, in the majority of situations parenting disputes are capable to be resolved by parents at early stages without involving Courts.
In contrast, complex parenting matters are often urgent and require immediate action.
Our lawyers will advise you and propose the best possible cause of action depending on your circumstances.
Family Law Property Matters
Our lawyers help clients in property settlement and spousal maintenance cases. Our duty is to advise our clients in relation to his/her entitlements and the process of legal proceedings with an aim of finalising a property settlement matter as fast as possible with the best achievable outcome.
There is a common misconception that all property settlements should be split 50/50. However, the law provides that there is no such presumption.
When it comes to property settlements, whether parties agree by consent (Consent Orders) or it is dealt by way of initiating application in the Family Court, the courts must be satisfied that the final percentage split is “just and equitable” i.e. fair to both parties.
The courts follow a four step process set out in the legislation (Section 79(4) of the Family Law Act 1975 or Section 205ZG(4) of the Family Court Act 1997) to determine what the percentage split should be in each individual matter.
The four step process is as follows:
Firstly, the courts must Identify and value the assets and liabilities of the parties;
Secondly, the courts must consider the contributions of the parties (this includes, initial contributions, and contributions during the relationship both financial and non-financial contributions);
Thirdly, the courts must identify the future needs aspect of the parties (usually, this entails the care of children under 18, the age of the parties, earning capacity of the parties); and
Finally, the courts must ensure that the division is “just and equitable”, in other words “is the division fair?” Therefore, it is not always a 50/50 result, as each case is individual and depend on varying factors.
