Practice Manager · Not a lawyer
Trapski Family Law · Williams Landing (Point Cook) & Geelong
Adam Trapski is not a lawyer and has never been one.
He is Trapski Family Law’s practice manager: the person who takes your call, books your appointment and handles your account. Legal advice at the firm comes only from its registered lawyers, led by principal Alison Trapski. Adam Trapski told Lawyer Reviews Australia’s founder during a telephone conversation that he is not, and has never been, a lawyer. He does not appear on the Victorian register of lawyers, checked 12 September 2026.
He is Trapski Family Law’s practice manager. He answers calls, books appointments and handles accounts.
Outside work, he describes his interests as motorsport—both driving and watching—and wargaming tournaments involving “toy soldiers.”
Whatever his enthusiasm for cars and miniature battlefields, those interests do not qualify him to interpret the law, advise clients or speak with legal authority—and he does not pretend otherwise. Clients should not be surprised or frustrated when he declines to provide legal advice; he is respecting the boundaries of his role and following the rules.

Trapski Family Law is led by principal lawyer Alison Trapski, who is recognised in Doyle’s Guide 2026 as a Recommended family lawyer for regional Victoria — a ranking produced by peer survey, not by this site and not paid for. The firm states that its principal has been accredited as a specialist by the Law Institute of Victoria since 2013.
The firm publishes the following areas of work: parenting arrangements, property settlement, divorce, consent orders and binding financial agreements, child support agreements, intervention orders where family violence is involved, victims of crime assistance, LGBTQIA+ family law, and wills, powers of attorney and probate. Family law in Australia is federal, so the firm can act in matters anywhere in the country.

No, and he never has been.

Legal advice at the firm comes from its lawyers.
