How can we help?
Stephensons are one of the few law firms that have the strength in depth to handle all types of child care cases from the most straightforward to distressing situations involving allegations of child abuse, neglect or injury. Our award winning national team has unrivalled experience in acting for clients ranging from relatively minor harm to those who have suffered serious injuries.
In these types of sensitive cases you not only need a legal representative who has experience in this area of law you also need a team who are compassionate, sympathetic and non-judgmental when listening to your concerns. In complex cases such as sexual or physical abuse, serious injury or long-term neglect medical evidence may be required.

The level of service that was provided was excellent and one which was professional, understanding and the most important for me was empathy. I myself am a very organised individual and like things done on time without delay, Stephensons understood this and respected what was important to me and for children.
