Samantha has been a lawyer since 2001 having followed in the steps of her father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather. No one can say she didn’t know what she was getting into!
Initially admitted in 2001 as a solicitor in NSW and Australia, Samantha moved to the UK where she was admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2002. After working in several different areas of the law in large London firms, she determined that family law was her calling and hasn’t looked back.
Samantha has been back in Newcastle since 2016 and has since completed her Master of Applied Law (Majoring in Family Law) ensuring that her legal knowledge is comprehensive and completely up to date.
Samantha thrives on taking people from what is sometimes one of the most vulnerable and stressful moments in their lives through to being able to plan and see a happy future ahead of them.
Outside of work Samantha has a husband, three daughters and a dachshund named Keith. They keep themselves busy in the outdoors and particularly enjoy holidays in their VW campervan.
Thanks Sam,
You were actually referred to me by one of your previous clients. Just goes to show how strong word of mouth is, especially in this town. There are now even more people running around Newcastle saying what a terrific job you do.
From my perspective, you are light years ahead of the competition. It is so good to see a professional with such great customer service, who can communicate in a calm clear manner, especially when I am usually a bit emotional. ☺
Keep up the good work Sam, I look forward to continuing to work with you on my matter.
Regards
Thanks Samantha,
I’m still feeling a little shell-shocked but slowly getting used to the idea that it is nearly all over.
Thank you for all your support – professionally and emotionally. It was a big day and I was glad you were with me throughout the entire process,
Good morning Samantha
Thank you very much for your advice and support during the last 2 years. I am pleased to have settled the matter. It's appreciated and I will highly recommend you.
Thanks again
Family & Divorce Lawyers FAQs
What type of lawyer should I speak to about divorce?
Divorce and separation matters are best handled by experienced family law solicitors who regularly deal with the legal requirements of ending a marriage or de facto relationship.

Can you help with resolving financial matters after separation?
Absolutely. We regularly assist with property division, superannuation and financial settlements, working to resolve these issues as cost-effectively as possible while ensuring your future remains protected.
What’s the best way to arrange parenting matters?
The ideal approach is to agree on parenting arrangements directly with your former partner, with the support of a family lawyer or mediator.

If needed, we provide strong representation through the formal legal process.
Do I need to go to court for parenting or property issues?
Not always. Many family law matters can be finalised through negotiation, mediation, or formalised with consent orders. Court only becomes necessary if an agreement cannot be reached. If that happens, we provide unwavering support to help you prepare and appear confidently before the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
