Read More Script You'll know Cheryl is there from her genuine care for you. She is there to support you 100%, when you are going through the darkest time. She is not only a capable solicitor, but has a deep understanding in keeping emotional strength, as sometimes the toughest thing is to deal with "fear" itself. Cheryl has a down to earth approach, she will ground you and you will feel assured. She works with morals, and you feel confident when you hear other solicitors make compliments on her work.

Cheryl is one of the most prepared solicitors I have worked with, her approach is thorough and she genuinely cares about each case she takes on. She always provides balanced advice that takes on board both sides of the situation to make sure every decision is the best one you can make. When my family was faced with the chaos of separation, and I had to try and understand the legal processes involved with property, parenting arrangements, and every other detail, Cheryl was there to break down each step and give me confidence in knowing that I was being taken care of. She took the time to listen to my feelings and concerns, was patient and yet highly professional at all times. Cheryl has taken the stress out of the legal process for me so that I can focus on rebuilding my life and my future with my children.

Read More Script I am grateful at how seamless the divorce process was with Cheryl guiding me through it. She's warm and understanding yet draws a very clear line when explaining obligations and potential outcomes to ensure that I knew exactly what was coming ahead. I'm particularly grateful for my initial consultation because I came out of the meeting knowing exactly what my obligations were and what steps I needed to take to navigate the divorce process at the same time my mother was dying. I have since been back to have other family documents drawn up and today, when I dropped in to collect some paperwork, she remembered me from 2 years prior and asked me how I was doing and was pleased to see me looking so well. She remembered very specific details about our interaction and what I had been through. Cheryl actually cares about her clients.

Read More Script Cheryl is dedicated and will go above and beyond. She has expertise that makes you feel confident. She is organised and thorough. I would recommend copper tree family law to to anyone who feels that they need someone to advocate for them. I was always heard and Cheryl always did everything within her power to ensure a good outcome. She never gave up and was always available when I needed to ask questions. Cheryl and her team were professional and so invested and all genuinely cared about the situation and did more than expected. She was always comforting and reassuring but always said what the outcome could be and was always realistic. The team were helpful and explained everything that was going on, helping me through it step by step. I do not think that we would have gotten the outcome that we did without Copper Tree family law. Having Cheryl advocate for me made all the difference and I am thankful that I found her firm as the outcome has been life changing and I believe without her assistance I would be in a very different position today. I am very grateful for all that her and her team have done and would highly recommend her.

Read More Script To say that I am forever grateful for what Cheryl and the team at Coppertree have done for my son and I would be an absolute understatement. I had started my case with other firms and unfortunately I didn’t receive the service I was after. I was then prompted to head over and see Cheryl about my case to see what she could do for me. From our initial chat together I knew things were about to change, everything turned and started to head into the direction I needed it to. Cheryl was always very open and honest with me and always so willing listen to what I had to say, which was a fair bit at times haha. Cheryl was always honest about what I could possibly achieve and she went above and beyond each and every time to facilitate this for me. I went from a period of time where I had no time at all with my son due to some pretty interesting situations, through to a point where my final orders have been stamped with something I honestly only ever dreamt of. Cheryl made this possible through her professionalism, dedication and her sheer will to do everything she could for my son and I.Throughout the entire process Cheryl was always available for a chat and she was always incredibly supportive which is something I am forever grateful for. To know Cheryl was there so I could even to let go of whatever was on my mind was just very comforting and it definitely got me through the process much easier.Natasha was also a pivotal part of the process and always so willing to help in every way possible. I was Always met with a smile or a cheerful phone call and she absolutely has huge sense of professionalism that keeps it’s all ticking along in the background that’s for sure.As a father in the system, I would absolutely recommend Cheryl and Natasha at Coppertree to facilitate anything you require. Be honest with yourself and your children and they will work their fingers to the bone to achieve the best possible outcome for you.Cheryl and Natasha, I can’t thank you both enough for everything. Myself and Noah will be in debt to you both for the life you have given us as we move forward with it all. You have given us plenty of smiles together already and no doubt they will only grow as we move along with life. Thank you.Shane and Noah
