Kristy was able to have my matter sorted very promptly and I was happy with a fair result without costly court proceedings. Kristy worked very hard and tirelessly pursued the other side for a response and settlement.
Kristy will stay in my contact list, although hopefully I won’t need to call her in the near future! However if I or any friends require the services of a Family Lawyer, I would be confident to call Kristy.
Thank you, Kristy-Lee
I was always informed and reassured that the outcome of my case would be best for myself but most importantly moving forward with my children and my life.
Kristy-Lee has extensive experience and knowledge in regards to family law and her beautiful nature and considerate approach is what I will be forever thankful for.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to Kristy, Kaila, Jillian and the entire team at OHL.
I am a client of Kristy-Lee and we have just finalised a property settlement via OHL over a period of ~3 years for my Father who is in an Aged Care home suffering dementia.
I just wanted to extend my gratitude and messaging around how Kristy (and her team) provided their services to deliver this outcome.

Her, and her teams professionalism, advice, guidance and counsel were nothing short of brilliant. From the outset Kristy provided clear guidance and instruction on the merits of my case, right through taking it to a very intense final hearing (unfortunately due to a lack of willingness to negotiate from the other side despite Kristy’s efforts to convince them otherwise.), and then through an appeal. Thankfully, the other side saw some sense when the appeal was dismissed and enforcement was looming.
Again, please pass on my sincere thanks to Kristy, Kaila, Jillian and the entire team at OHL.
