Our Community

At Rafton Family Lawyers we believe in supporting our local community and giving something back to the people of Western Sydney. After all, we live and work in the area and our clients generally do too!

We are committed to providing the best possible legal services, but also to offering residents in this area something more – whether that means helping law students who live around here to gain some practical experience, or giving local high school students a place to complete their work experience.

Legal Panels

Our firm is a member of numerous panels that have been specifically set-up to represent adults and children in the community who need support with the provision of legal advice. These include the National Independent Children’s Lawyer Panel; Care and Protection Panel; Legal Aid Family Law Panel; Domestic Violence Court Assistance Scheme; Solicitors Pro-Bono Scheme; and Volunteer Solicitors Panel (Hawkesbury Legal Centre).

Practical Legal Training

The firm provides placements for law students from the Western Sydney University. Our Legal Training program enables the University to place a law student with us for a period of time so that they can gain the necessary practical experience to complete their training.

Schools Partnership

Rafton Family Lawyers provides an opportunity for students attending local high schools to undertake work experience in the areas of law and office administration.

 

 

Specialist Accreditation

The Law Society of NSW operates the Specialist Accreditation Scheme to help the general public identify solicitors who have demonstrated expertise in a particular area of law. To gain this accreditation, a solicitor must first have extensive experience in the field. They are then required to pass the Law Society’s rigorous examination and assessment program, and continue to update their skills and knowledge at this specialist level every year.

So what does this mean for you?

It means that whenever you see the Accredited Specialist logo next to a solicitor’s name, you can be assured that their skills and expertise are of the highest possible standards. In the field of Family Law this is very important. Accredited Specialists understand the complexity of the family law process in Australia and how to obtain the best possible results on your behalf. They have proven expertise, combined with a comprehensive knowlegde of the legislation and its application in recent cases. In other words, you know you are in good hands.
