What do I wear to court?

What do I wear to Family Law Court?

A suit is not necessary, but you may wear one if you are comfortable doing so. Otherwise, you should wear smart casual clothing.

"I would like to thank Alfonso and all the SB team for all the hard work over these past few years. I am more than pleased with the result that has been achieved and I know the result will be of untold benefit to my children."

"I can honestly say that you did make my case a lot easier than I thought possible. Everyone I talked to - Albert and all different members of staff that I met during last year - were all kind and understanding. All lawyers know the law, but you went a bit further - your compassion made the difference. For that I am grateful and thank you all."

"Your services was impeccable. Thanking you all very much."
This was not a pleasant process, but it was necessary. SB Family Lawyers were always completely professional and gave me very realistic advice. They really helped me focus on trying to get everything resolved, and I always knew they had my back even which included when they gave me 'tough love'. Mine was a complicated case, but Sarah and her team are so astute that they got the details previous lawyers had missed. I was completely happy with their services
Susan Wentworth
Thank you to the whole team at Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers. Your support, and incredibly reasonable and detailed advice, throughout this process has been nothing short of amazing. I know you come under a lot of fire as family lawyers, but I know from my own experience that great family lawyers like you are exactly what someone in a vulnerable position after separation needs.
Marcus Cescon
Lisa, the receptionist who answers the phone, is professional, kind, patient and absolutely wonderful. I live in California, but I will be visiting Sydney soon to help my daughter with a family matter. I look forward to meeting with the lawyer. If the lawyer is anything like Lisa it will be an excellent experience!!!
Jack Krause
I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! The most outstanding lawyers I have ever been involved with. Professional advice which always outlines all positions and allows me to make informed decisions. Empathetic to my situation but realistic in their assessment of the situation. Experienced, efficient, honourable and knowledgeable. I am just so grateful to be able to trust them with all the difficulties arising from my very long and involved family law matter! Thank you Sarah and all of your outstanding team!!!
Alli Marley
Sarah and her team have always been great to deal with. They are quick to respond and their experience shines through. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SB Family Lawyers to anyone going through a difficult time and needs an Accredited Specialist with a great breadth of knowledge, experience and most of all ... understanding. Sarah, thanks for a great result.

I was grateful for the supportive and personal assistance that Alfonso Layson and the Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers team provided during my family law case. I appreciated Sarah Bevan Lawyers’ honest and direct approach in giving input and advice while also allowing me to take or leave it. I learned a lot about the judicial system (it’s expensive and time-consuming!), but under my circumstances, I was pleased with the outcome.
Francois DaCosta
Professional and efficient advice from every member of this firm we came in contact with. Great communication and client support in every way while dealing with an international issue.
Lyn Gribble
Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers at Parramatta were very responsive to my needs with fast responses and did not implement anything unnecessary that would have increased my costs. I also found them to be sensitive to my emotional state and supportive.
Rebecca O'Reilly
Sarah Bevan Lawyers have been managing our Surrogacy case for quite some time now and I can truly say their performance has been outstanding.
Alfonso Layson together with his assistants Joy and Tiffany have provided my husband and I with exceptional service, their conduct has been professional, full of integrity, consideration and respect from the beginning. I cannot recommend them highly enough. This process of undertaking a Surrogacy has been incredibly emotional for our family and being able to have this level of trust in a law firm, particularly Alfonso, has been appreciated beyond any words I can express here.
They made us feel like we were their most important clients and with our case being, I have no doubt, far from their most lucrative that didn’t come across at all, in fact quite the opposite. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Thank you.

Tamara Greenan.
