“Every family is different. We deal with a wide range of family law clients, from those who have separated and simply wish to document their agreement in a legally binding way and approved by a Court, to those with highly emotive and serious matters involving property and the care of their children. Working in family law is not just a job. What we do is help people at a difficult time of their lives, so they can get on with the rest of their life. It is very satisfying to help our clients in this way.”
Ray heads our family law department in Parramatta.
Having worked in both blue and white collar jobs prior to his career in law, Ray is able to relate to his clients in a way few other lawyers can. His life experiences and common sense approach also means Ray is able to quickly cut to the heart of an issue and give an open and honest appraisal of the client’s legal position. It is this approach, and his genuine desire to help clients that has made Ray one of the firm’s most sought after lawyers.
While having a broad legal knowledge base, as the head family lawyer in our Parramatta office, Ray is experienced in all aspects of family law proceedings and regularly appears in the Family Court of Australia and Federal Circuit Courts in Parramatta – located next to our office at 11 George Street, Parramatta.
Ray’s experience includes appearing in Court to advocate the client’s position in financial, property and parenting matters, and advise generally on the array of issues which can arise during the conduct of proceedings, including interim property and parenting hearings, Court ordered and party instigated mediation and conciliation.
Being a resident of Greater Western Sydney Ray takes great pride in being able to provide legal services to members of his community, and he regularly accepts clients under the firm’s Blue Ribbon payment arrangement to assist those who would generally be unable to afford the upfront fees to take a matter to Court.
Outside of work Ray enjoys spending time with his ever expanding family, and maintains an interest in reading along with a number of sports, including rugby union, of which he coaches at both junior and senior levels.
