Andrew's story

"CatholicCare took my property matter on at the early stages post-separation. From the first interaction with Catholic Care, the process was managed very efficiently.

The assigned mediator was respectful, understanding, and highly knowledgeable. She was able to quickly brief herself of the particulars of the matter. When we attended mediation, they had already narrowed the issues in dispute and identified the key issues to address first. As a result, we were able to quickly make an agreement that both sides were happy with. This avoided costly and onerous litigation through the court system.

Having had no experience with the family law system, including mediation, I am grateful to CatholicCare for how they handled my matter and I would recommend them to anyone else who needs their services. A bonus is that the fees charged by CatholicCare were substantially less than what is charged by private mediators."
