Experienced Family Lawyers in Brisbane

Nothing’s more important than family, so when you need a family law solicitor, you want one you can trust to sensitively meet your family’s needs. Family law is quite a broad subject, falling into three distinct areas: matrimonial (marriage), financial (money) and child law. If you’re searching for family lawyers in Brisbane who can cover any and all of these areas, you’ve come to the right place. Read More

I recently referred a client to Aaron Miles, and they were extremely happy with the service they received. They particularly appreciated being able to speak directly with a solicitor over the phone when they needed advice. Aaron was approachable, responsive and made the process easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer future clients to him.

We recently used Dam Lawyers to help with the sale of our house, and Aliyah was fantastic to deal with. She made the whole process easy, kept us informed along the way, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend Aliyah and the team at Dam Lawyers. Thank you for making the process so easy.

We recommend Dam Lawyers if you are looking for people that are both proffessional and reliable. We had Dam Lawyers look after the sale and purchase of our homes. Vinh and his team were amazing in more ways than expected on what should have been a reasonably straight forward transaction for my husband and I. They kept us calm and reassured us that our legal requirements would be met and any hiccups that occurred would be looked after in a professional manner. Aliyah was our point of contact who responded to all our inquiries. She was great. Vinh helped us deal with a couple of aspects that due to our ages of 60+ needed attention and caused us frustration. He helped clarify these issues for us in a calm and reassuring manner. He is a pleasure to deal with and my husband and I are very grateful to Vinh Aliyah and the team.

This review is based on my engagement with Dam Lawyers late 2022- early 2023. Vinh and his team were very prompt and professional with their communications and in ensuring I was kept up to date for every step of the settlement process in purchasing my first home. The process was seamless from a home buyer to a home owner. I highly recommend Vinh and his team at Dam Lawyers.

I engaged DAM Lawyers to assist with a property sale matter that was time-sensitive and required strong due diligence, experience, and attention to detail. Vinh took on the job immediately, despite being unwell and having to go home that day, and still completed the work the very next day. I know he was extremely busy, yet he went above and beyond what one to expect from legal services in today market. The quality of his work was exceptional — thorough, accurate, and without any mistakes no back and forth. I was extremely grateful and, quite frankly, surprised by the level of service provided. I have no hesitation in recommending Vinh as a property lawyer.

Buying our home felt a lot less overwhelming thanks to Dam Lawyers!!! They kept things clear, explained everything in a way that actually made sense, and were always quick to respond whenever we needed reassurance. It never felt rushed or confusing, just steady and well handled the whole way through. A special thank you to Nancy! She was amazing to deal with. Always one call away, genuinely caring, and made us feel supported at every step. Settlement day came and went without a single issue, which says everything. Really grateful for how smoothly it all went. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!
