Family lawyers in Sydney — verified profiles

Solicitor or firm

Your first call for a family law matter. Runs the matter from the first meeting — advice, negotiation, the paperwork, and court if it comes to that — and briefs a barrister when one is needed.

Contact the firm directly

Accredited specialist

A solicitor a law institute has accredited in a field after formal assessment. We show it only where the listing says so. Ask the firm which register records it.

Ask the firm, or check the register

Barrister

An advocate for hearings, trials and hard points of law. Some accept direct briefs from the public; most work comes through a solicitor.

Usually through your solicitor

Doyle’s Guide tiers are Doyle’s, from its peer survey, reproduced with attribution. Google ratings are ratings of the firm, not of an individual lawyer. Sponsored placements are labelled. Nobody pays to be listed.

Family lawyers ranked across New South Wales 88 listed

Doyle’s Guide scopes these lists to New South Wales and publishes no city for any listee, so we cannot tell you which of them work in Sydney — we are showing them here because Sydney is the state’s legal centre, not because Doyle’s places them in it. Each card links the exact list it came from.

Within this group the order is alphabetical. It is not a ranking.

Doyle’s prints a town or region for each of these — none of them Sydney — and we do not publish a page for that place yet, so they appear here on the state’s page. The place on each card is Doyle’s own, and each card links the exact list it came from.

Within this group the order is alphabetical. It is not a ranking.
