Rebecca Thomas was absolutely amazing in managing a complex and sensitive family law matter. Her knowledge is comprehensive, and she applies it with precision, foresight and sensitivity, to minimise trauma, keep families out of court and support her client/s through the most difficult times promptly and effectively. Her advice was always practical and realistic but very reassuring. I always felt there was a plan and a light at the end of the tunnel after every meeting. The office team and associate lawyers are also knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

Rebecca and the team provided very pragmatic advice tailored to my circumstances. They were responsive, professional, and practical throughout the process. I would happily recommend to friends / associates Rebecca and her team for many years to come should they require legal support. Their fees were also reasonable for the work involved.Posted on Google![]()

The team at Hamilton Thomas Lawyers provided a professional and supportive service to me over a number of months through a challenging legal process. Their response time was excellent and when matters were approaching a tight timeline they prioritised my needs to get it over the line. Luciana was caring and patient with me when I was under extreme stress and she took time to carefully and clearly explain legal processes and requirements to me. In summary I'd recommend the firm for excellent communication, knowledge and professionalism and caring and support.Posted on Google![]()

After going through a messy separation involving finance and children, Hamilton Thomas Layers provided an exceptional service which was personable and supportive, not only with the legalities but also on an emotional level. All staff were compassionate and ensured all decisions were measured and realistic to ensure unnecessary spend and achieve sensible outcomes I was happy with. Highly recommend this firm for legal engagements.Posted on Google![]()

Incredibly grateful to Rebecca and her team for guiding me through my property settlement. From start to finish, they were supportive, responsive, and highly professional. They made a difficult and draining process much easier to navigate and always made me feel supported and informed. Their expertise and commitment to my case resulted in a positive outcome, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone facing similar legal challenges.Posted on Google![]()

While I of course hope people don't need the services of a family lawyer, if you do, I can't recommend Jordan from Hamilton Thomas Lawyers highly enough. The peace of mind I had from knowing he was always in my corner really made the whole process (which is always going to be stressful) a lot easier. I could always trust he knew the law extremely well and he constantly took the time to talk me through various scenarios and options I could take to make sure I was prepared to make difficult decisions about what was next.Posted on Google![]()

I found HamiltonThomas Lawyers extremely professional. From an extensive initial consult i felt confident my case was well considered and approached well. I found Jordan to be attentive, diligent, knowledgeable and fast-acting in keeping me up to date with proceedings as the case unfolded. I heartily recommend Jordan and the firm
