Blackwood Family Lawyers

Exceptional and ethical family law practice (which is very rare to find in family law) that offered informed and objective advice and support. Knowledgeable and practical solutions were provided by Danielle to resolve my difficult family matters as quickly and as effectively as possible. Highly recommend.

Marita Bajinskis is an outstanding family lawyer who handled my matter with great compassion and expertise for a very challenging two years. She always possessed immense patience and foresight, which can only come with both experience and a sense of intuition about how things might play out. She knows which cards to play and when - and everything is ALWAYS in the best interests of the children. Her advice is always spot on, whether you like it or not. She is a very honest and ethical practicioner. She and her team are always prompt, punctual and reliable in communication. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Michael was excellent. Listened to my circumstances and offered options with appropriate pros and cons.
My opinion of the family law system as a whole is very, very poor, but I was able to mitigate some of this traumatic experience by engaging a professional. The team at blackwood are ethical and honest and acheive results through knowledge and experience. Something that cannot be said of all practitioners in the field. I'm glad I engaged Blackwood.

I engaged with Blackwood Family Lawyers in 2018.

Daniel Piekarski & Kate Wild have handled a complex case which has involved a property settlement, custody matters and relocation.

I have found Daniel to be a true professional and thorough with his attention to detail. Daniel has always seemed a few steps ahead, which has meant that i can relax somewhat and trust his direction and guidance. Daniel set the tone for the way my case would run right from the get go and I feel that the outcome of my case has been heavily dependent on his profession...

I cannot recommend Marita and Sarah highly enough. Marita is extremely knowledgeable, professional and sincere. I didn't doubt her for a second.
Marita and Sarah were a great support to me during a very difficult time.
I was always kept informed of what was happening and what was going to happen next. All my questions were answered honestly and my emails were promptly returned.
Marita and Sarah are genuinely the nicest people I have had the privilege to engage with.
I would not hesitate to recommend Marita and Sarah.

I would like to thank the amazing team at Blackwood Family Lawerys.
Penelope Charlesworth, Kate Wild & Sarah Askin.
Penelope and Kate, your ongoing support, true professionalism, compassion and warmth have been second to none.
I cannot truly put in words how thankful I am for what you have achieved for my family.
From the 5 star google reviews, to my first meeting with Penelope I felt so relaxed and supported I engaged Blackwood Family Lawerys.
You were always available to answer any queiries, whether it was via a phone call during a lunch break or an evening appointment in your office after work. This made the whole process stress free.
Sarah, a big thank you for all your help.
You have gone above and beyond my expectations.

Excellent service and advice. I would not hesitate to recommend Blackwood Family Lawyers. Many thanks to Wendy (Principal, Family Law Accredited Specialist) and Ally (Legal Assistant).

Marita (Principal) supported by her EA, Sarah, were an excellent team who represented me during my recent matter.
Marita is extremely knowledgeable, commercial and has a great calming influence; when I was emotional during the process, she acknowledged my feelings with just the right balance of empathy whilst remaining focussed on the facts. As an added benefit, she is highly skilled in mediation and negotiation. This meant Marita represented me from e...

Wendy and her team have been so supportive in my trying experience of going through a tricky divorce. She was initially recommended by my accountant as being a leader in her field, and I can certainly confirm this. My case was quite involved, and Wendy's attention to detail, ensured that nothing was missed. She always had my best interests at heart, and that was not only reassuring emotionally but also from the point of view that i knew all things were handled well.
I would not hesitate to recommend the Blackwood team, and in particular, Wendy Jenkins - a thorough, compassionate, approachable addition to streamline your proceedings.

Was referred to me by an associate of his (who has obviously never used him other than as a golf buddy at a guess ...). After a positive first phone call, where he stated the job would require "two hours work", it all went downhill fast.

My situation needed prompt attention, and I spent the next five weeks in a state of anxiety waiting for him to return reluctant messages left by me as I had chasing people (these were carefully vetted by his assistant) it took over a month to finally get a costing which had miraculously doubled in time and pr...
