Most people would recognise Margaret as a Family Lawyer, assisting clients through disputes about children and property settlements. In addition to the field of Family Law and De Facto Relationships she also works in conveyancing (for clients buying or selling properties) and prepares Wills, Powers of Attorney and Probate matters.

As a small legal firm, Margaret's approach is to be accessible and responsive to each individual client's needs. She considers it to be a part of her role to assist clients in understanding the legal process as it relates to their particular circumstances so as to achieve the best possible outcomes.
