The approach of Calabrese Lawyers has helped and continues to help many of our clients, people just like you.
Cost effective Legal Services
Whilst Calabrese Lawyers strives to achieve the best possible outcome for you, we promise that our legal costs will always be reasonable and to your satisfaction.
Where the legal matter can be resolved outside of the court system, Calabrese Lawyers will aim to find a quick and cost-effective solution to your legal problem through mediation and negotiation, without the need for costly court proceedings.
Family Law
Many of our clients have turned to our family legal services because of our firm’s approachability and expertise.
We appreciate that there are often tough decisions to make regarding parenting arrangements as well as your financial and property affairs. At Calabrese Lawyers, we are with you at every step of the process. We will inform you of your legal rights and the best possible options that you can take. No matter what you decide, you can be sure that the best interests of you and your children are being looked after.
Calabrese Lawyers can also give you certainty to your agreement by drafting legally enforceable Family Court Orders and Binding Financial Agreements.
Criminal and Traffic Law
As one of our specialised practice areas, we regularly provide efficient legal representation for clients in all types of criminal and traffic law matters.
If you have been charged with a criminal or traffic offence, it is important to get advice and act quickly. Whether it is a minor or serious charge, you have a right to defend the action brought against you.
Our solid understanding of New South Wales criminal law processes and procedures means that you will obtain the best possible outcome before a Magistrate or Judge, whether it be a verdict of not guilty, a section 10 bond or a reduced penalty and/or sentence.
Wills and Estate Planning
We will guide you in all areas of your estate planning.
It is tremendously important that you have a valid Will. Having a valid Will gives you the power to distribute your assets to whom and what manner you wish.
If you already have a Will, it may be time to review your Will as your circumstances may change and your Will no longer fulfils your testamentary wishes.
Having a Power of Attorney and an Enduring Guardianship is also important, especially in the event that you loose the capacity to make your own decisions. A Power of Attorney allows you to legally nominate a person to act on your behalf in relation to legal decisions whilst an Enduring Guardianship relates to health and lifestyle decisions.
We understand that it is an extremely difficult time when a loved one passes away. Calabrese Lawyers can assist in obtaining probate and guide you through the steps to administer the estate according to the terms of the will.
