Thank you Anna you have done a great job helping us with our estate planning involving our special daughter’s situation., We have also very much got to like your customer friendly manner and lovely personality..

It has been my observation throughout my dealings with Anna that wherever she can explore alternative dispute resolution methods with her clients (even during the course of litigation) that she endeavours to do so. Anna operates her practice in an ethical manner and displays good communication skills with the clients..
— REBEKAH
Life was looking pretty grim before I met Anna and I had been taken for a ride (but not of my choosing). The support that you gave me in court was exceptional. I would recommend her to anyone who being taken advantage of by their ex and wants the financial truth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What you need to know about working with us.
What types of legal matters do you handle?
Guide Me Family Law specialises in two areas: family law — covering parenting, divorce, financial agreements, consent orders, prenuptial agreements, relocation, and child support — and estate planning, including wills, powers of attorney, health directives, guardianship, and superannuation. Family law often involves an understanding of commercial and estate planning law as well, which Anna’s background is particularly well suited to address.
How does the fixed-fee model work?
Before we begin any work, we provide you with a clear, pre-agreed price for the service you need. There are no cost agreements to sign, no hourly billing, and no surprise invoices at the end of your matter. You pay only for what you need.
How do I book a consultation?
Simply contact us by phone, email, or the enquiry form on this page. Alternatively, you can download the instruction sheet for your particular service, which allows Anna to get in touch with you at a time that suits you both.
Do you only work with clients in one state?
No. Guide Me Family Law is available to clients in all parts of Australia — by phone, email, and video conferencing. We also welcome enquiries from Australian citizens living overseas.

Yes. If you are representing yourself but need practical guidance from an experienced lawyer, Anna can provide the advice and direction you need to navigate the process with confidence — at a fixed, pre-agreed price.

Guide Me Family Law is focused on resolving matters without litigation wherever possible. However, if court proceedings become necessary, Anna can provide advice and assistance throughout the process — including access to barristers and other legal professionals when required.
