I can't highly recommend Queensland Family Law Practice enough.   Shan and her team are great to deal with and professional.   Shan displays empathy and her insight helped me achieve a better than expected outcome in my Family dispute.   There was always regular communication between me and QFLP and all my emails were promptly answered.   I would be happy to use their services again if the need arises in the future.

Good day, I’d like to share my thoughts regarding my friend Haley Kennedy. Recently seeing Hayley  was delighted to listen talk so passionately her job and how she remains so strongly committed to consistently providing her clients and staff with her  unique and extraordinary high level of service and professionalism. Lastly I must add that as Haley is a working Mother , she is remarkably time dedicated and maintains consistency and reliability 2nd to none. Kindly Annette Olver

Navigating a divorce has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life. I could not have done this without the support and guidance of the team at QFLP. A highly informative and professional team who stayed with me for the journey. I have a very grateful heart - thank you QFLP!

I cannot speak highly enough of Hayley Kennedy from Queensland Family Law Practice. She has provided tremendous support throughout my children’s custody matter and has made a very difficult process much more manageable. Hayley is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Beyond the legal guidance, she equipped me with practical tools to improve communication with my children and helped me better understand teenage behaviour and ways of thinking. That insight alone has made a significant difference in my relationship with them. I am truly grateful for her support, patience, and guidance. I would highly recommend Hayley to anyone needing family law assistance.

I had never dealt with lawyers before and was feeling completely overwhelmed by a business dispute I was facing. Hayley took the time to speak with me, quickly understood the situation, and helped me make sense of what needed to be done. She was calm, approachable, and explained everything in a way that made me feel at ease and back in control. What really stood out was that Hayley didn’t just focus on the legal side — she took the time to consider who would be the best fit for me overall, including experience, personality, and who I would feel comfortable working with, as well as who had the capacity to take the matter on. She explained, that is how the firm works, different many other lawyers. QFLP is so much more than just giving legal advice.  Hayley explained to me that there is also an emotional outcome and QFLP place high importance on ensuring you are supported through , not just the legal process, but connecting you with other experts, because it is more than just a process, it is a part of your life’s journey. Hayley connected me with a lawyer who would be the right fit for my situation, and took the time to speak with them directly to ensure they understood the background before connecting us. It wasn’t just about the legal side — she understood the pressure I was under and helped me approach things in a much calmer and more controlled way, rather than reacting emotionally or feeling pushed into decisions. Her initial advice and guidance at the outset made all the difference, and I would highly recommend her, and the team at QFLP, to anyone needing clear, practical and genuinely supportive advice and guidance.

I'd like to thank the team at QFLP and in particular Hayley, her knowledge, experience and real desire to help as well as her communication with me, through what has been a difficult time made the whole process so much more manageable to get through. Her overall demeanour and holistic approach to family law matters and genuine care for helping others are a credit to the team and the firm and i highly recommended them.
