"I'm so grateful to Soden Legal for fighting for the best outcome"

Before meeting Sandra I had almost lost hope in the system. Sandra supported me through my court case and kept me focused on the end goal – my children. I’m so grateful to Soden Legal for fighting for the best outcome I could have imagined. I highly recommend Soden Legal to anyone needing strong representation.

"I was very nervous going to court but Sandra kept me at ease and focused on my son's best interests"

Sandra and her team fought for me to have valuable time with my son. I was very nervous going to court but Sandra kept me at ease and focused on my son’s best interests. With the support and advice of Soden Legal I have been able to strengthen my co-parenting relationship with my ex-partner.

"Choosing Soden to represent me was the best decision I could have made"

I had a challenging property settlement that was not amicable. Choosing Soden to represent me was the best decision I could have made. Not only were the team professional and focused, they also treated me with care and compassion during a difficult time. I was extremely happy with the end result, receiving well above what I would have achieved without legal counsel. Highly recommended!

"Not enough words to praise Sandra"

Possibly not enough words to praise Sandra and her team. Nothing was ever an issue, the support show to us was amazing. Nothing was ever an issue and having never been through this process before they were kind and guided us every step of the way. We don’t believe we would have got the outcome without the wonderful support and guidance of such an amazing team.

"If I could give the team at Soden legal 10 out of 5 stars I would"

If I could give the team at Soden legal 10 out of 5 stars I would. I have been dealing with Maddy Elliot for the past 12 months with a family law matter. She has been nothing short of absolutely outstanding. She went above and beyond and we ended up with better than my desired outcome. Their legal secretary Tam setter has provided has been simply amazing, and it is evident that she is massive asset to the soden legal team.
Both ladies have been an absolute pleasure to deal with right from the outset!
I could not have asked for better representation!!
Don’t look elsewhere, the team at Soden, legal will be the best choice you have ever made!!
