Family Law with Max

5

Max was clear, kind, helpful, straightforward and clearly knew his stuff and he updated us throughout the duration and it felt like he took on board concerns and suggestions and that was helpful. It was a very upsetting time and his kind calm understanding manner really helped. I would recommend him and his team wholeheartedly. He gave us confidence at a very bleak time. Thank you.

Excellent legal advice delivered with professionalism and sensitivity

5

I approached Max Konarek on recommendation to advise on a longstanding matter which unfortunately necessitated family court hearings to agree contact arrangements. From our initial consultation meeting, Mr Konarek exercised impeccable legal judgement, providing timely and measured legal advice. Given a number of sensitivities, Max was superb throughout proceedings, advising with clarity, keeping me fully abreast of developments, all the while remaining accessible, responsive and managing somewhat tenacious counsel for the other side - this across a number of hearings spanning almost two years. I cannot recommend Max highly enough in matters pertaining to family law & child protection, and would not hesitate to call him again should I, or any of my close contacts require representation, particularly across complex cases.

Good Communication

5

My solicitor is a very good lawyer. He has very good communication skills, and helped me understand everything that was going on. He researched everything. He is a people person and is not judgmental. Great! We won the case, even if it was difficult.
