What Our Clients Say

Sylvia Lee

I would like to say a huge thank you to Judy Stewart for all her help, expertise and kindness to me and my family, during a very stressful time. Much appreciated. Happily recommend her.

I am compelled to leave a 5 star review for Stewart Family Law and the amazing Lawyer who guided me through a very difficult and challenging property settlement and achieved the best possible and realistic outcome for me. Her name is Lauren Holm and I cannot recommend this amazing Lawyer and Lady enough. Lauren was so straightforward and honest and from the very first conversation it was evident that Lauren’s knowledge of Australian Family Law was at an incredibly high level. I knew I was in great hands immediately. I changed Law Firms mid settlement and was so pleasantly surprised with respect to the new level of representation I was receiving. Miss ensured that I was fully aware of all possibilities and outcomes and provided me with genuine guidance that was in my best interest. Miss was also able to bring the matter to a timely conclusion. I am incredibly grateful to Lauren and Stewart Family Law. If you are in the daunting process of choosing a lawyer then please take it from someone who has experience and choose these guys. You won’t regret it.

I had a very positive experience working with Temika. She was patient and took the time to listen to my circumstances in detail, rather than giving a one-size-fits-all approach. She genuinely cares about helping her clients and always looks for the best possible outcome, doing everything practical to achieve results.

Temika was consistently ahead of deadlines, which gave me peace of mind knowing court dates and important matters would never be missed. She is well-prepared, highly organized, and very reliable. Even on days when she was in court and couldn’t offer an appointment right away, she still made sure to reply as soon as she could — at the very least with an email — so I was never left without communication. This was especially important when I was stressed and anxious and emotional toll I had from my court matters, as her responsiveness gave me reassurance during difficult times.

I highly recommend Temika to anyone seeking a lawyer who is professional, caring, and truly committed to her clients’ needs.

I supported my friend (who has also left a review) throughout her family law matter and accompanied her to her initial consultation. I witnessed first-hand how the firm handled her case—and I feel compelled to speak up.

My friend was charged $3,360 within a month. Despite this, there was no meaningful progress on her matter—just vague, unproductive email exchanges that provided neither legal clarity nor guidance on what to do next—yet every one of them was billed at an excessive rate, despite being devoid of any actionable information. On top of that, the firm requested a further $3,000—before any substantive legal work had even started.

When she raised her concerns about the lack of direction and value, the response she received from the firm was cold and dismissive.

What concerns me most is the firm’s public response to her review—refusing to even acknowledge whether she was a client. I was there. She absolutely was. That kind of evasiveness feels more like damage control than professionalism. Not only that, but I left a review a month ago, and it was brought to my attention that they had it removed.

As a direct witness to the process, I can honestly say that my friend’s experience with this firm was stressful, expensive, and disheartening—one I hope others can avoid.t

I worked with Temika Slee at Stewart Family Law and was charged $3,360 in just one month. What I received? Vague advice, internal drafts, and emails asking for another $3,000 before anything concrete had even begun.

It felt more like passive mediation than legal representation. No guidance, no protection, just billing.I realised their stopwatch worked harder than their legal team.

I was more stressed dealing with this firm than during my actual divorce. When I voiced my concerns, I got a cold, dismissive reply.

I’ve raised this with the Legal Services Commission. If you want real legal support, look elsewhere.

Absolutely phenomenal service. Altough they are busy, every time I called, even for just an advice, they would take time to explain the matter and give a proper response. I will definitely keep using them in the future because they listen to the customer and their needs, and always find time to help!

Highly Recommended! Judy is an amazing mediator. I had a difficult case that was hard to mediate. I was very anxious about the process particularly because i had no lawyer representation. I can say that Judy has a relaxing and calming demeanour that made me feel instantly at ease. She also had separate rooms so i never had to face or feel intimidated by my ex or his lawyer, and thanks to Judy, a fair resolution was reached at mediation. thanks again Judy.

Thank you for all of your assistance during my separation. I appreciate all of the support you and your team gave me. You were available every time I called and the times you were not available you always returned my calls. You kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Judy and Temika to anyone needing assistance with their separation, they really took the stress out of everything for me. Thank you for making a life changing stressful time less stressful.

I would highly recommend Judy and her team for the way they handled my divorce.

Judy is a caring person and that comes out in her work and the diligent way she works for a positive outcome for her client all the while ensuring no collatoral damage for the family members.

If you need a family lawyer reach out to Judy you won't be disappointed.

Hi my name is Ashley Ehlers a barrister in Brisbane and I have utilised Judy Stewart and Stewart Family Law for many mediations. I usually recommend Judy as a panel possibility when solicitors are considering a list of possible mediators in a family law matter. The aspect of Judy’s performance as a mediator I particularly value is her willingness to actively attempt to facilitate a result at mediation by ‘thinking outside the square’. It is trite but a focus on interest based versus positional is central to my experience of Judy as a mediator. Thumbs up to the crew at Stewart Family Law well done!
