Melita was friendly and professional. She was very responsive to emails and any questions. The consent orders were drafted and returned to me for review within 24hrs. After some back and forth finalising the details they were lodged within a week of enquiry and approved within 2 weeks after that which met the tight deadline I was working towards due to refinancing. Thank You so much for taking the stress out of this!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review Hollie. It was a pleasure to work with you to get your Consent Orders finalised in a timely manner with the result you wanted.

Our Mediator based the Property Negotiation and Agreement of the Financial Assets "accidentally" on the Date of Separation/Divorce instead using the Actual Assets as Family Law demands. My ex Husband already delayed the Process in a high Conflict Situation and the Orders should have been filed the next Days. Melita made me aware of the Duty of Disclosure of the actual Assets, filed for an Out of Time Order on her own as we were last Minute and transformed the originally agreed Order with the wrong Base in a Consent Order with the actual Values but the same Percentage we already agreed. The Consent Orders got approved already today by Court 18 Days after I contacted Melita the first Time. I can highly recommend Melita The Legal Drafter to anyone who has come to an Agreement in Mediation. She is highly professional and does all to keep the Process as easy and smooth as possible for you. Thank you Melita. Jacqueline S. H.

As a Law graduate from Bond University, my expectations are HIGH. I also had quite a complex property matter to finalize in record time to meet the re-finance requirements. Not only did Melita meet my extremely tight deadline, her work was impeccable. What I LOVED was how efficient her communication was. Prompt communication is vital for a smooth legal process.
Response from the owner:Thank you Kara for your review. It is greatly appreciated! It was a pleasure to assist a fellow Bondy.

Couldn't thank Melita enough for her effort and professionalism. I just don't think my case could be solved so smoothly with such a satisfying result if I was using some other legal services since my situation was quite complicated. Melita was patient, understanding and caring; her legal drafting was outstanding. Not to mention the cost for her drafting service is clear and fair. I would not hesitate to recommend the legal drafter to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thank you Evie for your kind words. It was a pleasure to assist you.

I cannot recommend The Legal Drafter Family Law highly enough. I have found them so prompt, efficient and affordable. I enquired with several lawyers before engaging The Legal Drafter Family Law and not only found TLDFL much more competitive in price, but extremely responsive, not only to queries but to completing the consent orders. Fantastic team/business.
Response from the owner:Thank you Julie for your kind words and positive review. It was an absolute pleasure to assist you with your family law matter.

ABOUT OUR LEGAL DRAFTING SKILLS

Experienced | Efficient | Well Written | Accurate | Factual | Cost Effective

The Legal Drafter is an experienced family lawyer who can draft your legal documents for family law matters.  Whether you have reached an agreement and are applying to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) for Consent Orders or proceeding to court, we can assist you with the preparation and filing of your court documents.

Why You Need Correctly Drafted Court Documents

Correctly drafted court documents can be instrumental to the quick and desirable resolution of your matter. Many of the court forms are self-explanatory, and the court website provides brief instructions on filling out many forms. However, the documents you file are of critical importance. Consent Orders or other court documents you are seeking from the court are the first exposure to your matter.  In the words of a Federal Circuit Court judge, His Honour Judge Jarrett –

The impact of a well drawn affidavit is your first attempt at advocacy and the impact of that can’t be underestimated.

Too often, people without experience in legal drafting will include unnecessary or inappropriate information in their court documents instead of focusing on facts relevant to their matter.

Well written and accurate documents supporting your matter will give the court the best possible view of your position. This will then make any court appearance easier for you and prevent any unnecessary delays during the court process.  It will also prevent your Consent Orders being returned to you because they aren’t correctly drafted.
