The Principal Solicitor's Words
Welcome to FJS Lawyers
FJS Lawyers was commenced in 2015 by Principal Solicitor, Fiona Stevens and continues to provide services primarily in the area of family law. We strive to maintain a solid reputation for providing meaningful and effective family law solutions.
Our empathetic and professional team strives to take a strategic and client-focused approach in every matter and to provide realistic, practical, and timely advice. The FJS team is highly competent, friendly, and approachable. We are committed to providing exceptional service and our primary goal is to resolve matters in the most time and cost-effective manner for clients.
Our experience enables us to assist clients holistically, with more than just “the law”. In parenting matters, a client’s conduct can affect their case and ultimately impact upon their relationship with their children and the other parent. We provide honest feedback, advice and suggestions to address parenting concerns with the aim of achieving the best possible outcome.
