Urgent Go To Court Service

We also offer an urgent go to court service. We can do this more successfully than most family law firms because we offer a solicitor advocacy solution. If you are due in court soon and you haven’t filed your court documents or for any reason whatsoever, we can help you when it comes to preparing for your court event or hearing urgently and representing you at that hearing. Our staff are known to work all night in order to make this possible for people.

Solicitor Advocacy

With more than 20 years experience in solicitor advocacy, Allyson has been appearing in court advocating for her clients since 2001 and for family law clients, since 2003. She has conducted, successfully, many parenting and property trials and arbitrations.

A solicitor advocate, she can represent clients in a wider range of court events and courts than most solicitors. Rockwell Family Law is pleased to offer a Solicitor-Advocacy solution in many family law situations. This is a lower-cost option for people who cannot afford both a solicitor and a barrister to represent them at hearings. There is no loss of excellence of service or results. Each case will be judged on its facts and the evidence before the Court.
