Family Law Decisions Avis 

Ali and his team have been amazing during the stress of divorce.

I've been kept well informed and any questions I have are always answered swiftly.

It means a lot.

Jeff has been fantastic to work with and has provided clear guidance following a very stressful experience with another professional. His incredible experience is evident in the way he approaches his work.

Jeff and Christopher were amazing to get my daughter back in my care. I am still going through court proceedings, they have been a great help. The experience I had was excellent, please contact jeff and you wont be disappointed.

I worked with Ali and Christopher, they both helped me more then they know, my witness Statement was perfect, the advice was always correct and there knowledge was 10/10… highly recommend to use family law decisions. Thanks Again

I really can’t emphasise enough how much Family Law Decisions have helped me through the court process. They provided sound advice, kept me calm, let me vent when I needed to and helped to streamline my thoughts and intentions. This was my second time in family court (the first time I used solicitors) and I found working with Chris, Ali and Jeff far less stressful. I felt significantly more supported and listened to. They also explained their recommendations, as well as possible outcomes with empathy, patience and compassion. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is going through this horrible process. I had a terrible outcome first time round but this time I couldn’t be happier with the result and I genuinely believe they were a big part of that.

I worked with Ali and Chris from Family Law Decisions. They were extremely knowledgable and helpful through the process and helped me get access to my new born son. Ali was great at court and definitely value for money.

my case had a week notice and even with little time Jeff and his team work quickly enough that everything was done in time and to an amazing standard. Thanks to Jeff and all his team.

I had an initial phone call with Ali which was fine. I then borrowed money from a friend to pay for Family Law Decisions to complete a C2 application and write my witness Statement. Once my payment was taken (very good at communication at this point) I then heard nothing for about 2 weeks I received a draft of the paperwork on the Friday evening (court was 2pm on the MOnday) I was advised by Christopher he was available on email over the weekend. I replied that evening with amendments. I heard nothing until the Sunday. Which then needed more amendments I received the final copy sunday evening Court hearing was next day at 2pm! unfortunately this was submitted too late. The team had been told when the court date was. I then requested another amendement as something the Judge suggested so I emailed Christopher and advised the date I had to re submit it by. I heard nothing until the evening before I had to submit it He had made an amendment I had not requested I then didnt hear anything else. I requested contact as I feel my money was taken incorrcectly as they did not produce this in adequate time

Jeff was amazing. Any questions I had he was there to answer throughout the case and the support on the day of the hearings made it so much easier.

If I could give these guys 10 stars I would Ali Jeff and Christopher were amazing going over and above what they needed to. Their professionalism and detail towards my case was paramount in making me feel less anxious towards what was a very stressful court hearing. Communication and advice was brilliant responding immediately every time.
Would absolutely highly recommend Family Law Decisions and the caring approach of Jeff Ali and Christopher

Jeff was excellent before, during and after the court hearing, especially at the court hearing. I was very anxious, emotional and distracted by everything going on, but he always reminds me the focus of the hearing to avoid the distractions. Very professional and supportive in and out of the court, which yielded a fairly good outcome.

Fantastic.

Ali and Christopher have been excellent throughout the proceedings. Endless emails and calls included in the overall cost which was great whilst I was stressing a lot with everything.

Whilst not much can be done once Cafcass have made a recommendation and we all know that the family courts are just not fit for purpose; Ali has been so helpful in court and I simply couldn’t achieve the outcome without him.

Highly recommend family law decisions and yes you don’t need solicitors and a 20k bill, just ask Ali and his team to help you out.

We attended family court accompanied with Jeff Botterill as a McKenzie friend. He prepared multiple documents and questions ahead of the hearing. We arrived feeling flustered and anxious but were instantly reassured by Jeffs calm and professional approach. He gave clear, constructive direction preventing us from side lining. Jeff kept us focused on the purpose of the hearing eliminating unnecessary distractions. Having Jeff in attendance was just the salvation we needed and a thank you will never be enough to express the gratitude we feel. I would highly recommend this company for assistance in the future.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Jeff for accompanying me to court on the 11th of March to support me in my family child arrangement order. Initially, I believed I had everything planned out, including what I wanted to say. However, Jeff's expertise and guidance provided a more child-focused approach that proved invaluable. Following his advice, I emerged from the hearing with everything I desired and more.

Jeff's preparation for the questions to ask the Cafcass officer was exceptional. His questions were precise and on point, leading to responses that ultimately worked in my favor. His insights were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the hearing and ensuring a positive outcome.

Jeff's dedication to my case extended beyond the hearing itself. His support during and after the hearing was unwavering, and his advice was always timely and relevant. His professionalism and commitment to a child-centered approach were evident throughout the process.

I am incredibly fortunate to have had Jeff by my side during this challenging time. His guidance, expertise, and support made all the difference. Thank you, Jeff, for your outstanding assistance and for helping me achieve the best possible outcome for my family.

I was feeling overwhelmed with my financial settlement court case when I came across Family Law Decisions. From my first conversation with Ali, I felt reassured and guided with clarity.

Team dream
Ali explained and simplified the framework of the legal process while Christopher helped me to prepare my paperwork in a very professional format.

I am very grateful to Jeff who was taking part in representing my case effectively in court whilst taking relevant notes of the hearing with increased knowledge and accuracy. He was extremely helpful with resuming my head of agreements for the judge in a very concise format.

I highly recommend Family Law Decisions to anyone navigating the family court system without legal representation. Their guidance was invaluable, and I wouldn’t have managed finalising my case earlier, at the FDR hearing, without them.
Thank you! Sorina

I would highly recommend family law decisions, my family and I have built up a trusted relationship with them over the past 21 months. Family law decisions offered and provided us with not only professional advice but also reassurance and comfort when we have needed it the most. Having to apply for court for a child matter and not receiving the correct outcome has been an extremely difficult time however family law decision have been right by our side every step of the way. They providing us with necessary reports and advice and support, also attended court to support my brother as a Mckenzie friend.
A big thank you to Jeff Botterill who’s knowledge and experience is outstanding and has contributed to us being able to file an appeal which most recently we have WON.
If you need advice, support or report being produced look no further as family law decision have been the best decision my family has ever made. Jeff you are an angel.

I was in a tough spot and I can't thank the team at Family Law Decisions enough for helping me get through it. Proffessional application, statement, and advice at the hearing!

I would highly recommend this company, Jeff, Ali and the team have been exceptional, I have been dealing for years with my ex partner and her solicitors and been to court over 10 times and wasn't getting anywhere until I got the help that I needed, I didn't know whether I was coming or going until I found family law decisions, the best thing about this firm is it's also affordable and they get the job done.

Jeff attended court with me Dec 2024 and I couldn't be more appreciative of his support and advice before, during and after the hearing. He made me feel confident and listened to in what could have resulted in what could have been a very different outcome. I would highly recommend Jeff and Family Law Decisions.

Shumyla was great. Very warm and friendly. She put me at ease and helped throughout the day in court.

I would highly recommend her.
