Advantages of a Family Law Accredited Specialist

Not all lawyers are the same. Like specialist doctors, there are specialist lawyers.

Gordon Lawyers specialise in Family Law. It's all we do.

"Family disputes are complex, resolving property disputes is equally complex."

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus September 2023

The legal issues to be considered when separating will impact the rest of your life.

David Gordon of Gordon Lawyers has been accredited by the Law Society of NSW as a specialist in Family Law.

This specialisation combined with David's over 30 years experience, allows Gordon Lawyers to deliver to their clients the legal advice and assistance needed.

What it takes to be an Accredited Specialist

1

Proven Expertise

Family Law Accredited Specialist lawyers have proven their expertise in Family Law by undertaking advanced study and examination through the NSW Law Society.

2

Experience

Only solicitors who have worked in family law for over 7 years can apply to be a specialist (David Gordon has over 30 years experience).

3

Always check if your lawyer is accredited

Gordon Lawyers only do Family Law. We don't do conveyancing, police matters or estates.

Our whole focus is on our family law clients.

Case Example - A client brought in a letter of advice by another solicitor about proposed consent documents.

There was nothing wrong with the 1 1/2 page letter, except the issues not covered or explained. The letter of advice from Gordon Lawyers on the same documents was over 10 pages and fully explained the agreement the client was considering.

Case Example - In conjunction with the client and their accountant, David Gordon in a short space of time crafted complex consent orders involving a multi million dollar asset pool.

The Consent Orders as drafted where accepted by the the other party without change. The client was saved considerable legal fees and lengthy delays in what could have been very difficult litigation.

Case Example – The other party threatened to move the children and the other party’s lawyer said there was nothing in the consent orders that stopped the children from being moved.

David Gordon pointed out the meaning within the Family Law Act of one of the terms in the consent orders, which meant the children could not be moved without consent. The children did not move.
