    I was totally unprepared when my husband told me he was leaving me. After the initial shock my first thoughts were for the welfare of our children. My main priority at the time was to ensure that my children would not suffer the trauma of a a messy breakup and custody dispute, which often happens during the separation process. I instinctively knew that I would need to seek the advice and counsel of a professional family lawyer if I wanted to achieve a resolution that would ensure that my children’s needs would be well looked after. I was not disappointed when a friend suggested I contact Lisa Wagner, the Principal of Doolan Wagner Family Lawyers. From my first consultation, Lisa was with me every step of the way, and together with her team offered me the support I needed both professionally and emotionally. The team is to be commended on their dedication to achieving the best outcome for their clients in a fair and professional manner.I was also offered sound advice on my financial entitlements and guided through the decision making process in this area. Most importantly, they were always available to me so that I did not have the added stress of trying to go through this painful process alone. I have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful team to anyone who is need of help in any aspect of their separation.

    I have known Lisa Wagner for many years and have recently referred a close friend of mine to her. My friend required help with a very sensitive family law related matter. Lisa was very professional, caring and took the time to listen to my friend and counsel her through this very difficult time. Lisa provided a level of support far in excess of what she had experienced in the past. I would recommend Lisa to my friends and colleagues in the future.

    I was first introduced to Lisa Wagner through a dear friend that I trust and I sincerely and wholeheartedly recommend Lisa Wagner as your family lawyer. She negotiates well with the other side, cuts through any manipulation while being financially savvy and keeping costs down. She has led me through a difficult time with sincerity and professionalism, always taking time to understand my situation with my ex-spouse and then giving exceptional legal advice during a high stress situation. I recommend her for any situation you find yourself in – she has expertise with financial settlement, can think bigger picture than your stress may allow, and supports you gently while setting firm boundaries with the other side. Lisa is not afraid to fight your cause and does an exceptional job in and out of court.

    I have referred to Lisa many friends and colleagues who have been in very difficult situations over the past 15 years. Lisa, a mum herself, understands the stress that goes with separations particularly when children are involved. Lisa is discreet, highly professional and takes control, listens carefully and will recommended the approach she believes will best meet friends needs and budgets. Lisa’s support, advice, calm nature and exceptional legal skills have helped many. Lisa was always quick to respond to their questions and concerns and their matters were resolved quickly and professionally and in their favour. You can be assured you are with the best.
