Family Law

Our appointment was with Caitlin Gilbert. From our first meeting, Caitlin explained everything to both myself and my partner in terms we could easily understand and was always very responsive when we had questions. Caitlin is extremely knowledgeable and was highly sensitive to our situation. We came away from our first appointment feeling very reassured, positive and with an overall sense of “Caitlin got the jist of the situation. She will sort this for us” And that she did! The legal documents were in place in no time at all.
Throughout the case Caitlin would herself or have Morgan her secretary
‘check in' with us and make sure we knew what was happening at all times.
Caitlin is one of the most understanding, easy to speak to professionals I have ever come across. Caitlin is without doubt the best legal representation we have worked with on our case. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable solicitor in Family Law, or if you're seeking legal help with Domestic Abuse, or Harassment go to Caitlin Gilbert.
Thank You Caitlin and Thank You to her secretary Morgan.

Very impressed

I had reason to swear an affidavit, remotely, from another country, in front of Caitlin Gilbert today. I provide support to one of Ms. Gilbert’s clients who is going through a difficult personal situation, fraught with anxiety. Ms. Gilbert has been compassionate and attentive to this client’s needs and provided her client with excellent advice and guidance. Having met with her myself, I can attest to her passion for and commitment to working with clients who are in sensitive situations, as well as to her depth of knowledge of the law required to ensure the best possible outcomes for them. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Caitlin represented me in a case with my childs dad for about 3 years this case went on for. She was supportive, helpful and such a lovely woman. She's fantastic and professional and is communicative through all the process. I cannot thank this amazing women enough and all the team at freelands. From start to finish I have always felt well supported and always kept right on the whole process.

Thank you so much again.

Guardianship Order.

At my initial enquiry/appointment with Solicitor, Caitlin Gilbert, the Guardianship process was clearly explanined. Thereafter, I agreed to engage Caitlin to present the application to the Court and that basically was all I had to do from a legal standpoint. The Court process is not quick but I was kept informed throughout. When the order was granted then began the full interaction with the OPG. There was an omission in the initial Gurdianship Order which was soon rectified. There were also a few issues unrelated to to the order which were handled swifty by Caitlin and the office staff. Caitlin was always at the end of an email if I had any questions or queries the needed explaining. A first class service throughout.

Thank you and well done, now for round two and confident for result in my favour
