What our clients say

Pepe and Jonathon handled my case with kindness, understanding and professionalism. It’s took a lot of patience and time but they never gave up and made me feel supported the whole way through.

I sincerely appreciate the style you have approached my Family Law Matter and I have NO hesitation in recommending you.

Pepe - this is my first experience with lawyers in my young 37 years at first I was very close as I thought you would like the rest, but I was very wrong indeed.

Pepe, just a short note to say thank you for your assistance. For what it’s worth your professionalism is only exceeded by your sincerity and kindness.

Many thanks for how easy you made our property transfer. Process was so smooth and you were both fantastic to deal with.

Jonathon, I must say that in 4 years you and Pepe are the most efficient and prompt team I have ever met, you both responded quickly and courteously to all my unresolved issues and question and problems with the previous team.

Pepe has kept me sane! At all times she’s been professional, responsive, direct and friendly.

I appreciate all you have done for me Pepe.I would not have got this far without your hard work.

Genuinely committed to positive outcomes and minimising the nastiness that can be associated with family law matters. Real technical expertise plus human sensitivity.

I can’t begin to thank you enough for all of your hard work on K’s behalf and we are overjoyed at the outcome.

Jonathon and Pepe handled my case very respectfully and efficiently.

I highly recommend Perpetua Kish (Pepe). She handled my case without my care, respect and dedication.

Words can’t describe how grateful we are. Thanks for everything - I can’t help but think if we had you from the start and this process would’ve been successful.

Thank you so much - you and counsel were both incredible today. A great result!

I would like to say how happy I am with the current service. Pepe and Jono were very proactive and helpful in what became a drawn out and difficult process.

I can’t honestly find the words to thank you enough for all the work you have done for the kids and me. To say I am relieved is an understatement.

Thanks once again for your understanding and support. Pepe and Jono kick another goal!

Really great people to work with. They know their stuff and are also compassionate and caring as well as understanding and explaining all the legal jargon. I highly recommend.

I referred one of my client’s to Pepe and was very impressed with the compassion she showed and the way she was able to help my client.

I approached Pepe for some advice on behalf of a friend who is in the process of separating from her husband. Pepe was very professional throughout our dealings and extremely patient with all of my questions.

Genuinely committed to positive outcomes and minimising the nastiness that can be associated with family law matters. Real technical expertise plus human sensitivity.

Pepe and Jono are Amazing! They care.

Working with Balance Family Law was excellent and seamless. I feel like I had absolute certainty as to my legal fees. I would absolutely refer them to friends and family for their timely and courteous service.

Wowee what an awesome surprise! I was delighted t

“𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵!!”*

I don’t know the context of *Woody Allen’s famous saying, but when we meet a client who is in this headspace, it can be a very good thing.

Why? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Most logical people don’t want:

- To fight with their ex
- To go to court
- To have legal bills in the tens of thousands
- Their kids stuck in the middle of their conflict with the other parent

And we can work with that. It sets a clear direction to work in a manner that prioritises peace, and maintains or seeks to rebuild trust, empathy and understanding.

And instead of talking about percentages and dollar amounts with our clients to help them work out what they want, we first talk about what is really important to them. We reflect on their needs, hopes and fears (their “interests”), rather than positions.

A position is what we say we want (or usually what we think we want) but an interest is the reason or “the why” beneath that position.

It is the interest that drives direction at the end of a relationship, or indeed at any time. We don’t need to know our destination at the start, but with a good sense of direction, we are primed for a better journey.

If our direction is one that prioritises peace, seeks to understand and is open to compromise, our destination is more likely to be a positive place.

If our direction focuses on finding fault, attributing blame and prioritising only our needs with disregard for the needs of others, our destination will be a place of conflict and disappointment.

You don't get what you want, you get what you are. So choose your direction with care and kindness.

Happy Monday 🤘🏽
